ENGINE DETAIL

The Bombardier MPV-20 tractor is powered by a Toyosha CS100 diesel engine, which offers a modest 20 hp and operates efficiently at a rated RPM of 2600, making it suitable for light to medium agricultural tasks. With a compact size (1.0 L displacement) and liquid-cooled system, it provides durability and reliability in various operating conditions, although its limited power may pose challenges in heavy-duty applications. Its 12-volt starter and 4.6 qt coolant capacity contribute to ease of maintenance; however, users should consider its lower power output for extensive farming operations.

Bore/Stroke 2.874x3.15 inches/73 x 80 mm
Power (gross) 20 hp/14.9 kW
Rated RPM 2600
Starter volts 12
Coolant capacity 4.6 qts/4.4 L

ENGINE OIL

The Bombardier MPV-20 tractor has a relatively low oil capacity of 2.3 quarts (2.2 liters), which can facilitate easier oil changes but may require more frequent monitoring and maintenance, particularly in heavy-duty applications. Its compact size could be advantageous in confined spaces but might limit engine cooling efficiency under high loads. Ensure proper oil selection to maintain optimal engine performance and longevity, especially in variable operating conditions.

BOMBARDIER MPV-20 ENGINE

The Bombardier MPV-20 features a Toyosha 1.0L 3-cylinder diesel engine, which offers a balance of compact size and efficient power output, optimal for specialized utility applications. Its small displacement may lead to lower torque and horsepower compared to larger tractors, potentially limiting performance in heavy-duty scenarios. However, the fuel efficiency of the diesel engine can be advantageous for extended operation and reduced operating costs in light to moderate tasks.

TRANSMISSION

The Bombardier MPV-20 tractor features a 9 forward and 3 reverse gear configuration, enabling versatility in productivity across various terrains and tasks. Its oil capacity of 18 quarts (17.0 liters) with SAE 80 GL-4 specification ensures optimal lubrication and wear resistance, vital for heavy-duty operations. However, the limited gear range may present a challenge in fast-paced applications, so careful gear selection is essential for efficiency in different operational scenarios.

Gears 9 forward and 3 reverse
Oil capacity 18 qts/17.0 L/SAE 80 GL-4
Description Three gears, plus reverse, in three ranges.

MECHANICAL

The Bombardier MPV-20 tractor features a 4x4 4WD chassis, which enhances traction and stability in various terrains, making it ideal for off-road applications. The manual steering may limit precision compared to power-assisted systems, while the dry shoe brake design offers reliable stopping power but could require more frequent maintenance. Additionally, the optional cab provides weather protection for operators but may affect overall visibility, depending on design configuration.

BOMBARDIER MPV-20 TIRES

The Bombardier MPV-20 tractor features versatile tire sizes designed for both agricultural and lawn/turf applications, providing adaptability in various terrains. The Ag front tires (5-14) and rear tires (8-18) ensure stability and traction for farm tasks, while the lawn/turf configurations (20.5x8.00-10 front and 29x12.00-15 rear) offer a softer footprint to minimize ground disruption. A potential challenge is transitioning between tire types, which may require adjustments in pressure and load management for optimal performance in specific tasks.
