ENGINE DETAIL
The NorTrac 250AS tractor features a robust 2-cylinder, air-cooled diesel engine with a displacement of 2.1 L, delivering a powered output of 31 hp at 1800 RPM, ideal for low-speed agricultural tasks. Its oil bath air cleaner and a high compression ratio of 16.5:1 enhance efficiency and durability, although maintenance may require careful monitoring due to the complexity of air-cleaning systems. With the valve clearances set at 0.012 inches cold, accurate adjustments are necessary to maintain optimal engine performance, particularly in varied operational conditions.

ENGINE OIL
The NorTrac 250AS tractor's oil capacity is 7.4 quarts (7.0 liters), which is essential for optimal engine performance and longevity. Proper maintenance, including regular oil changes, is crucial to prevent engine wear and ensure efficient operation, particularly in heavy-duty applications. However, frequent oil checks and changes may be required due to the relatively small oil capacity compared to larger tractors, which can increase maintenance time and costs.

NORTRAC 250AS ENGINE
The NorTrac 250AS tractor is equipped with a Belarus 2.1L 2-cylinder diesel engine, known for its durability and fuel efficiency, making it suitable for light to medium agricultural tasks. Its compact design allows for excellent maneuverability in tight spaces, though the smaller engine capacity may limit its power for heavy-duty applications. When considering this tractor, evaluate the balance between required power output and operational efficiency to ensure it meets your specific farming needs.

TRANSMISSION
The NorTrac 250AS tractor features a sliding gear transmission with 8 forward and 6 reverse gears, providing versatile operation for various agricultural tasks. With a clutch-operated system splitting forward and reverse operations, operators may experience a learning curve for optimal gear selection, especially in tight maneuvers. The oil capacity of 10.6 qts ensures adequate lubrication, but regular maintenance is crucial to prevent gear wear and ensure smooth gear transitions in the operational lifespan of the tractor.

| Gears | 8 forward and 6 reverse |
| Oil capacity | 10.6 qts/10.0 L |
| Description | Transmission operated with clutch and two levers. The mode selection lever chooses between forward, reverse, or netural. The range selection lever chooses one of eight gears, although SL1 and SL2 are forward only. |
SPEEDS
| Description | With 10x28 rear tires. |
MECHANICAL
The NorTrac 250AS features a 4x2 2WD chassis, offering simplicity and lower maintenance compared to 4WD models, but may experience traction limitations in uneven terrain. Its mechanical/power steering allows for easier maneuverability while the differential mechanical band brakes provide reliable stopping power, though they may require more maintenance than hydraulic systems. An open operator station with available ROPS ensures operator safety, particularly in applications where rollover risk is present, but may expose the operator to elements.
