TRANSMISSION
The Belarus 8311 features a partially synchronized transmission with 14 forward and 4 reverse gears, providing flexibility for various field operations. Its synchronized shifting from gears three to seven allows for smoother transitions under load, enhancing productivity. However, the 42 quarts (39.7L) oil capacity may necessitate more frequent maintenance checks, especially in severe operational conditions.
| Type | partially synchronized |
| Gears | 14 forward and 4 reverse |
| Oil capacity | 42qts / 39.7L |
| Description | Seven gears (1-7) in two ranges (low/high). Synchronized shifting in gears three to seven |
MECHANICAL
The Belarus 8311 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which provides improved maneuverability on flat terrain but may struggle in muddy or uneven conditions. Its 14-speed partially synchronized transmission allows for efficient gear shifting, enhancing operational versatility but may require more skill to master compared to fully synchronized systems. This tractor is ideal for light to medium agricultural tasks, where cost-effectiveness and ease of maintenance are prioritized.
