ENGINE DETAIL 1
The Bima 325 tractor features a robust turbocharged 6-cylinder Fiat 8210 diesel engine with a high displacement of 13.8 L, delivering 325 hp at a rated RPM of 2000, which is advantageous for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. Its substantial bore (5.39 inches) and stroke (6.14 inches) contribute to high torque and fuel efficiency, beneficial for challenging terrains. However, the relatively high weight and size may limit maneuverability in tighter spaces, so using this tractor is best suited for large-scale farming operations or open fields.

TRANSMISSION
The Bima 325 tractor features a hydrostatic transmission, which allows for smooth and infinite speed control in both forward and reverse directions, enhancing maneuverability in tight spaces. This design offers the advantage of reduced operator fatigue and increased precision during tasks like planting or loading. However, hydrostatic systems may require more maintenance and can be less efficient than gear-driven alternatives in heavy-duty applications.

MECHANICAL
The Bima 325 tractor features a 4x4 4WD chassis, providing superior traction on uneven terrain, making it ideal for agricultural and off-road tasks. Its articulated power steering enhances maneuverability in tight spaces, while the hydrostatic transmission offers smooth speed adjustments without clutching, facilitating ease of operation. However, the complexity of the hydrostatic system can lead to higher maintenance requirements, which should be considered in cost evaluations.
