OLIVER 1250-A ENGINE

The Oliver 1250-A tractor is powered by a Fiat 2.3L 3-cylinder diesel engine, known for its fuel efficiency and moderate power output, making it suitable for light to moderate agricultural tasks. One advantage is the compact size, allowing for maneuverability in tight fields; however, limited horsepower may pose challenges in heavy tillage operations. Ensure compatibility with implements, as the engine size may restrict the type of equipment that can be efficiently operated with it.

TRANSMISSION

The Oliver 1250-A tractor features a 6-speed forward and 2-speed reverse gear system, providing operators with a versatile range of speeds for various tasks. This configuration allows for efficient maneuvering in both open fields and tighter spaces, making it suitable for diverse agricultural applications. However, the limited gear range may not offer as much flexibility for high-power tasks compared to tractors with more speeds.

Gears

6 forward and 2 reverse

MECHANICAL

The Oliver 1250-A features a 4x2 2WD or 4x4 MFWD drivetrain, providing flexibility for various terrains, with 4WD offering enhanced traction in challenging conditions. Its 6-speed transmission allows for efficient power delivery and speed control, beneficial for both fieldwork and transport. However, while the 2WD model is more economical for flat terrain, the 4WD variant presents a higher initial investment but significantly improves performance in rugged environments.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Oliver 1250-A tractor has a robust weight of 3,120 lbs (1,415 kg), which contributes to its stability and traction, making it suitable for heavy-duty fieldwork. However, this weight can limit mobility on soft or uneven terrain, potentially causing bogging or damage to delicate soil structures. Optimal usage scenarios include tasks where minimizing tire slip and maximizing pulling power are essential, such as plowing and heavy tillage operations.
