ENGINE DETAIL 2
The Bima 285 tractor is powered by a robust Mercedes-Benz OM 447A turbocharged diesel engine, offering 285 hp at a low operating RPM of 2100, which enhances torque and fuel efficiency for heavy-duty applications. The 12.0 L displacement and substantial bore and stroke dimensions promote effective combustion and power delivery, making it suitable for demanding tasks such as plowing and hauling in agricultural environments. However, the complexity of the liquid-cooled system and maintenance of a turbocharged engine could pose challenges in more remote operational scenarios.

ENGINE DETAIL 3
The Bima 285 tractor features a robust Caterpillar 3306 turbocharged diesel engine, delivering 285 hp and optimized for high-torque performance at 2100 RPM. With a significant displacement of 10.5 L, the engine ensures efficient fuel combustion and effective heat management via liquid cooling, though it may necessitate larger fuel storage and a more complex cooling system. This tractor is well-suited for heavy-duty applications in agriculture or construction, leveraging its power and durability but may pose challenges in terms of weight and maneuverability on uneven terrain.

TRANSMISSION
The Bima 285 tractor features a hydrostatic transmission, offering seamless speed control and enhanced operator comfort, making it ideal for precision tasks such as tillage or mowing. With an infinite range of gears (4-range for forward and reverse), it excels in terrain adaptability and maneuverability, but may have a higher initial maintenance cost compared to traditional gear-driven tractors. This setup is particularly advantageous for applications requiring frequent directional changes and variable speeds, such as in orchards or vineyards.

MECHANICAL
The Bima 285 tractor features a 4x4 4WD chassis, offering enhanced traction and stability on varied terrains, which is advantageous for agricultural applications requiring mobility on uneven surfaces. Its articulated power steering provides improved maneuverability, especially in tight spaces, but may require more maintenance compared to traditional systems. The hydrostatic transmission allows for seamless speed adjustments and simplifies operation, making it suitable for tasks demanding precision, although it may lead to higher operational costs over time due to potential hydraulic system complexities.

BIMA 285 TIRES
The Bima 285 tractor is equipped with large 20.8x38 agricultural tires both front and rear, providing enhanced traction and stability on uneven terrain. This tire size improves flotation in muddy or soft soil conditions, making it suitable for diverse agricultural applications. However, the larger tire dimensions may lead to increased fuel consumption and require more powerful implements to avoid strain on the drivetrain.
