ENGINES OVERVIEW

The Bukh 452 tractor features a choice of two diesel engines: the 3.1L and 3.4L, both with 3 cylinders, providing robust performance for various agricultural tasks. Key advantages include fuel efficiency and compact design, while challenges may arise in power delivery under heavy load scenarios due to the smaller engine displacement compared to larger competitors. Optimal for small to medium-sized farms, it excels in flexibility and maneuverability in tight spaces.

ENGINE DETAIL 1

The Bukh 452 tractor features a robust 3-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 3.1 L, delivering 45 hp at a rated RPM of 1800, making it suitable for moderate agricultural tasks requiring good torque output. Advantages include its efficient liquid cooling system, which supports a coolant capacity of 25.0 L, ensuring optimal engine performance and longevity under heavy loads. However, its power output may limit usage in larger-scale operations, making it a more suitable choice for small to medium-sized farms.

ENGINE DETAIL 2

The Bukh 452 tractor is powered by the 3G105 diesel engine, a 3-cylinder, liquid-cooled unit that delivers 55 hp at a rated RPM of 2000, providing a balance of efficiency and adequate power for agricultural tasks. With a displacement of 3.4 L and robust bore/stroke dimensions (105 x 130 mm), it is capable of handling moderate loads, making it suitable for small to medium-sized farms. However, its oil and coolant capacities of 12.7 qts and 26.4 qts, respectively, might require more frequent maintenance checks, particularly in warm operating conditions.

BUKH 452 ENGINES

The Bukh 452 tractor features a choice between two resilient diesel engine options: a 3.1L and a 3.4L 3-cylinder configuration, offering efficient power output and torque for agricultural tasks. An advantage of the 3-cylinder design is its compact size and reduced weight, enhancing maneuverability and fuel efficiency, yet it may experience increased vibration compared to larger configurations. This model is suitable for versatile farming applications and light utility work, making it ideal for small to mid-sized farms.

TRANSMISSION

The Bukh 452 tractor features an 8 forward and 4 reverse gear configuration, facilitating versatile speed and torque management across various applications. With an oil capacity of 23.3 quarts (22.1 liters), it ensures adequate lubrication for enhanced engine longevity. This gear system is advantageous for tasks requiring precision, but operators may need to adapt to multiple gear shifts in demanding terrains.

Gears	8 forward and 4 reverse
Oil capacity	23.3 qts/22.1 L
Description	Four gears in two ranges, plus reverse range.

MECHANICAL

The Bukh 452 tractor features a 4x2 two-wheel drive system, providing adequate traction for light to moderate tasks, but may struggle in loose or uneven terrains. The open operator station enhances visibility and airflow but offers limited protection from the elements. With an 8-speed gear transmission, operators can efficiently manage a range of speeds, although fewer gears may limit versatility compared to competitors with more advanced shifting options.
