BOLENS G214 POWER

Engine 21 hp/15.7 kW

ENGINE DETAIL

The Bolens G214 is powered by the Iseki E3AF1 diesel engine, featuring a compact 3-cylinder configuration with a relatively high compression ratio of 22.5:1, which enhances fuel efficiency and torque at lower RPMS. Its rated power of 21 hp at 2600 RPM is ideal for light to medium-duty farming tasks, but may present challenges in heavy-duty applications due to its lower horsepower. Advantages include efficient pre-heating via glow plugs and manageable maintenance with a dry air cleaner, though its modest oil and coolant capacities (3.2 qts and 7.4 qts respectively) necessitate regular monitoring during operation for optimal performance.

BOLENS G214 ENGINE

The Bolens G214 tractor is powered by a reliable Iseki 1.2L 3-cylinder diesel engine, providing a good balance of power and fuel efficiency, suitable for light to moderate agricultural tasks. With a fuel tank capacity of 6 gallons (22.7 liters), it allows for extended operation between refuels, making it efficient for long workdays or larger field areas. However, the relatively small engine size may present challenges in heavy-duty applications where higher horsepower is required.

TRANSMISSION

The Bolens G214 tractor features a 12-forward and 4-reverse gear configuration, providing excellent versatility for various farming tasks and enhanced maneuverability in tight spaces. The dry disc clutch offers reliability and ease of maintenance, although it may require more frequent adjustments compared to wet-clutch systems. With a moderate oil capacity of 13 quarts (12.3 L), regular oil changes are essential for ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the engine components.

MECHANICAL

The Bolens G214 tractor features a 4x4 MFWD (Mechanical Front-Wheel Drive) setup, enhancing traction and stability across diverse terrains, making it suitable for more challenging agricultural tasks. The mechanical rear differential lock provides improved grip on slippery surfaces, although the manual steering may limit ease of handling. With a 12-speed transmission, operators can achieve precise speed adjustments for optimal performance in various applications, but the open operator station may expose the driver to elements during operation.

BOLENS G214 TIRES

The Bolens G214 tractor features standard agricultural tires, offering enhanced traction and stability for fieldwork, with a front tire size of 6.00-12 and rear size of 12.4-16. Switching to turf tires (24x8.50-12 front, 13.6-16 rear) can minimize soil compaction, making it ideal for manicured lawns and sensitive areas, but may compromise performance in rough terrain. It is essential to choose the appropriate tire type based on the intended application to maximize efficiency and minimize wear on both the tires and the working surfaces.
