BOLENS G212 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Bolens G212 tractor is powered by an Iseki E3AF1 diesel engine with a respectable power output of 21 hp, making it suitable for light agricultural tasks. Its compact displacement of 1.2 L and high compression ratio of 22.5:1 enhance fuel efficiency, although maintenance on the dry air cleaner may be required to prevent performance degradation. While the electrical starter facilitates ease of use, the limited oil capacity of 3.2 qts may necessitate more frequent oil changes, especially under heavy load conditions.

BOLENS G212 ENGINE
The Bolens G212 is powered by a 1.2L Iseki 3-cylinder diesel engine, offering a compact size ideal for small to medium agricultural tasks. Its 6.1-gallon (23.1 L) fuel tank ensures extended operational time, promoting efficiency during field work. However, due to its smaller displacement, it may have limitations in power output for heavy-duty applications, necessitating careful consideration of workload demands.

TRANSMISSION
The Bolens G212 tractor features a 12 forward and 4 reverse gear configuration, offering versatility in operation for varying terrain and tasks. The dry disc clutch provides a reliable coupling mechanism, but may require more maintenance than wet clutches under heavy load conditions. With an oil capacity of 13 quarts (12.3 liters), adequate lubrication is essential to ensure optimal engine performance, especially during prolonged use.

MECHANICAL
The Bolens G212 features a 4x2 2WD chassis with a mechanical rear differential lock, enhancing traction in off-road conditions but limiting stability on uneven terrain. Its manual steering and mechanical internal expanding brakes provide a straightforward design, though they can pose challenges in precision handling and braking efficiency. With a 12-speed transmission, operators can effectively manage varying speeds for diverse agricultural tasks, making it suitable for both light and moderate-duty applications.

BOLENS G212 TIRES
The Bolens G212 tractor's standard agricultural tires, with a front size of 4.00-12 and rear of 12.4-16, provide optimal traction for fieldwork and rough terrain, enhancing productivity in agricultural applications. However, the switch to lawn/turf tires (20x8.00-0 front and 13.6-16 rear) may compromise traction but greatly reduces soil compaction, making it ideal for landscaping and sensitive environments. Consider the intended use to optimize tire selection for maximum efficiency and minimal ground disturbance.
