KIOTI Introduces Flow+ System for Compact Loaders

KIOTI Tractor launches Flow+ technology, an advancement in hydraulic performance for its compact construction equipment lineup. The Flow+ Compact Track Loaders (TL750) and Skid Steer Loaders (SL750) enhance hydraulic capabilities for operators, who need more power than standard flow, without the excessive cost or fuel consumption of full high-flow systems. Designed for light- to medium-duty hydraulic attachments, Flow+ allows operators to seamlessly run attachments — like rotary cutters, trenchers and snow blowers — while supporting standard-flow attachments for everyday tasks, making the machine more versatile across jobs.
