ENGINES OVERVIEW
The Bima 300 tractor is powered by either a Caterpillar 14.6L or a Fiat 13.8L 6-cylinder diesel engine, offering robust performance and high torque for heavy-duty operations. The Caterpillar engine may provide superior reliability and fuel efficiency, making it advantageous for extensive agricultural tasks. However, the Fiat engine could be lighter and more cost-effective, presenting a viable option for lighter applications or smaller farms.
