HOLDER A12 POWER

Engine 12 hp/8.9 kW

ENGINE DETAIL

The Holder A12 tractor features a compact Sachs D600L two-stroke diesel engine, delivering 12 hp with a high compression ratio of 20:1, which can provide superior fuel efficiency and torque for small-scale agricultural tasks. The direct injection fuel system enhances combustion efficiency, while the air-cooled design minimizes maintenance compared to liquid-cooled systems, making it suitable for hot environments. However, the single-cylinder configuration may result in vibrations and less smooth operation at higher speeds, which is something to consider for prolonged usage or intensive tasks.

HOLDER A12 ENGINE

The Holder A12 tractor is equipped with a Sachs 0.6L single-cylinder diesel engine, providing efficient power delivery for small-scale agricultural tasks. Key advantages include its compact size and maneuverability, making it ideal for narrow spaces and precision work. However, the limited engine displacement may pose challenges in heavy-duty applications, requiring optimal load management to prevent strain.

TRANSMISSION

The Holder A12 tractor features a 6-forward and 3-reverse gear configuration, allowing for versatile speed control and maneuverability, particularly in varied field conditions. Its dry disc clutch enhances reliability and reduces maintenance compared to wet clutches, although it may present challenges in terms of engagement smoothness under heavy load. In scenarios requiring frequent direction changes, operators may benefit from the higher reverse gear option for improved efficiency.

MECHANICAL

The Holder A12 features a 4x4 articulated chassis which significantly enhances maneuverability on uneven terrain but may challenge stability on steep inclines. Its drum braking system generally offers reliable stopping power, though it can be less efficient compared to disc brakes, particularly in wet conditions. The 6-speed transmission provides a versatile range of gearing for various operational demands, making it suitable for tasks requiring both low-end torque and higher speed.

HOLDER A12 TIRES

The Holder A12 tractor features uniformly sized Ag front and rear tires (5.50x16), providing balanced traction and stability across various terrains, which is advantageous for agricultural applications. However, the smaller tire diameter may limit its performance in loose or uneven soil conditions compared to models with larger tires. This tractor is ideal for agile tasks in confined spaces but may struggle with heavier, more demanding applications requiring greater ground clearance.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Holder A12 tractor features a compact wheelbase of 45 inches, promoting maneuverability in tight spaces, ideal for landscaping or small farm tasks. Weighing 1500 lbs allows for stability during operation while using the same tire width (5.00x16) on both front and rear enhances consistency in traction and handling. However, its lightweight design may limit its performance under heavy loads or on uneven terrain, necessitating caution in such scenarios.
