BOLENS G174 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Bolens G174 tractor features a Mitsubishi KE 75 diesel engine, delivering 17 hp (12.7 kW) with a displacement of 0.8 L, making it suitable for light agricultural tasks. Its liquid cooling system and dry air cleaner enhance engine efficiency and durability, although the relatively low power output may limit its applications in heavy-duty operations. The use of glow plugs for pre-heating facilitates reliable cold starts, particularly essential in colder climates.

BOLENS G174 ENGINE
The Bolens G174 features a compact Mitsubishi 0.8L 2-cylinder diesel engine, which provides efficient fuel consumption ideal for small to medium agricultural tasks. With a fuel tank capacity of 3.17 gallons (12.0 liters), operators can expect relatively frequent refueling during extended work sessions, potentially limiting operational time in the field. However, the lightweight design contributes to ease of maneuverability, making it suitable for tight spaces and varied terrains.

TRANSMISSION
The Bolens G174 tractor features an unsynchronized 6-speed transmission with 2 reverse gears, which requires the operator to come to a complete stop to shift between gears and ranges, thus demanding more time and attention during operation. Its dry disc clutch system provides reliable engagement but may require periodic adjustments to maintain performance. With an oil capacity of 13 quarts (12.3 L), regular maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and efficiency of the transmission system.

MECHANICAL
The Bolens G174 features a robust 4x4 MFWD system, offering superior traction on varied terrain, which is advantageous for heavy-duty agricultural applications. Its mechanical differential lock enhances off-road capability but may require additional effort during engagement, impacting operational efficiency in tight turns. With a 6-speed unsynchronized transmission, operators may face challenges in gear shifting, particularly under load, necessitating skillful handling for optimal performance.

BOLENS G174 TIRES
The Bolens G174 tractor is equipped with standard agricultural tires, offering a front size of 5.00-12 and rear size of 8-16, which provides decent traction for various farming tasks. The tire dimensions suggest a balance between maneuverability in tight spaces and stability during field operations, although the smaller front wheels may limit its capability on uneven terrain. Advantages include lower soil compaction and adaptability for light-duty applications, while challenges may arise in heavier workloads or steep inclines due to reduced front-end support.
