Daedong Industrial was founded in 1947 in South Korea and grew into one of the country's leading makers of agricultural machinery. After the Korean War it moved into farm equipment production, and it played a central role in the mechanization of Korean agriculture before expanding to international markets. The company's long engineering history is the foundation of the Kioti brand familiar to North American buyers.

Today Daedong sells its tractors internationally under the Kioti brand while continuing to serve the Korean market under the Daedong name, with a product range spanning sub-compact to utility tractors, attachments, and related equipment. The company is known for durable, straightforward machines designed for working farms, and it remains one of the most established agricultural machinery makers in Asia.

Daedong service and workshop manuals document the complete machine: diesel engine overhaul with clearances and torque values, manual and hydrostatic transmissions, axles and four-wheel drive, hydraulics, three-point linkage, PTO, and electrical systems, plus wiring diagrams, diagnostics, and factory service schedules. Detailed specifications support owners of both Daedong-badged and related Kioti models.

These manuals are valuable for farm owners who service their own tractors, independent agricultural equipment repair shops, and anyone maintaining older Daedong-badged machinery. Accurate technical documentation keeps these workhorses productive through long service lives. Sound service information reduces downtime and keeps machinery productive during busy seasons.
