ENGINE DETAIL
The Belarus 525 is powered by a robust MTZ D-60 diesel engine with a displacement of 4.8L, producing 65hp at 1800 RPM, which is suitable for moderate agricultural tasks. Its 197 lb-ft torque at 1300 RPM ensures effective pull capacity, beneficial for tasks such as plowing and hauling. A potential challenge is its oil bath air cleaner, which may require more maintenance in dusty conditions yet provides superior filtration compared to dry types.

BELARUS 525 ENGINE
The Belarus 525 tractor is powered by a 4.8L 4-cylinder diesel engine, providing robust torque for agricultural tasks. Its compact size allows for maneuverability in tight spaces, making it ideal for small to medium-sized farms. However, potential challenges include limited aftermarket support compared to more mainstream brands, which could impact maintenance and parts availability.

TRANSMISSION
The Belarus 525 tractor features a 9-speed forward and 2-speed reverse unsynchronized transmission, necessitating complete stopping and clutch actuation for gear changes, which may limit operational efficiency during tasks that require frequent speed adjustments. Its oil capacity of 42 quarts (39.7 L) utilizing SAE 80-90 or GL-5 gear oil indicates a robust lubrication system, essential for maintaining gearbox integrity under load. While the gear selection mechanism allows for precise engagement in a stationary position, it may present challenges in applications requiring rapid gear shifts, potentially impacting productivity in time-sensitive farming operations.
| 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 |
SPEEDS
