ENGINE DETAIL

The Belarus 505 tractor features a robust MTZ D-60 diesel engine with a displacement of 4.8L, providing a respectable 65hp at 1800 RPM and peak torque of 197 lb-ft at 1300 RPM. Notable advantages include its efficient oil bath air cleaner and high compression ratio of 16:1, which enhances fuel efficiency and power delivery; however, maintaining optimal valve clearance (0.012 inches) is crucial for sustained performance. Given its torque characteristics, this tractor is well-suited for heavy-duty applications like plowing or towing in agricultural settings but may require careful management of engine cooling (21 quarts capacity) during prolonged use.

ENGINE OIL

The Belarus 505 tractor has an oil capacity of 16 quarts (15.1 liters), which is essential for optimal engine lubrication and performance. A larger oil capacity typically enhances thermal stability and prolongs oil change intervals, but it may also require careful monitoring to prevent overfilling. In scenarios involving extended operation or high-load conditions, maintaining adequate oil levels is critical to prevent engine wear and ensure longevity.

BELARUS 505 ENGINE

The Belarus 505 tractor features a robust MTZ 4.8L 4-cylinder diesel engine, providing a reliable power output suitable for a variety of agricultural tasks. Its mechanical simplicity offers ease of maintenance, although the absence of advanced electronic controls may limit precision in certain modern applications. Ideal for small to medium farms, it can effectively handle plowing, tilling, and hauling, but potential buyers should consider fuel efficiency relative to power demands.

TRANSMISSION

The Belarus 505's unsynchronized transmission requires the tractor to be stationary and the clutch engaged to shift gears, which can limit operational efficiency in dynamic work environments. With 9 forward and 2 reverse gears, users will appreciate its versatility for various agricultural tasks, though the need for manual range and gear selection may slow performance. It’s crucial to maintain proper oil levels with SAE 80-90 or 90 GL-5 for optimal gearbox function; neglecting this can lead to increased wear or potential transmission failure.

Type unsynchronized
Gears 9 forward and 2 reverse
Oil capacity 42qts / 39.7L / SAE 80-90 or 90 GL-5
Description Tractor must be stopped and clutch used to change gears or ranges With the shift lever in neutral and clutch pressed, a knob on top can be rotated to select range, then the lever can be moved to select the gear

MECHANICAL

The Belarus 505 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, providing basic traction suitable for lighter agricultural tasks but may limit performance in rugged terrain. Its power steering enhances maneuverability, while the mechanical disc brakes offer reliable stopping power, albeit with less modulation than hydraulic systems. The 9-speed unsynchronized transmission allows for varied speed control, though it requires skillful shifting, potentially challenging for less experienced operators.

BELARUS 505 TIRES

The Belarus 505 tractor is equipped with 7.50-20 front tires and 15.5-38 rear tires, which optimize its load distribution for agricultural tasks, enhancing traction on varied terrain. The larger rear tires provide better stability and increased pulling power, advantageous for heavy tillage and hauling applications. However, the narrower front tires may limit flotation in softer soils, potentially leading to sinking or bogging in muddy or wet conditions.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Belarus 505 tractor features a wheelbase of 93.5 inches, providing stability and improved traction on various terrains, although it may limit maneuverability in tight spaces. Weighing 7980 lbs, its robust structure allows for substantial load capacity but could challenge transport logistics due to its heaviness. The combination of front (7.50-20) and rear tires (15.5-38) optimizes ground contact and enhances performance in agriculture or heavy-duty applications, though tire selection may affect soil compaction and crop damage in sensitive environments.
