ENGINE DETAIL
The Volvo 2250 tractor, powered by a 3.9 L D39T diesel engine, offers a robust 68 hp at a rated RPM of 2200, making it suitable for medium-duty agricultural tasks. Its torque output of 183.7 lb-ft at 1400 RPM provides strong low-end power, beneficial for tasks requiring high pulling capability, such as plowing or hauling. A direct injection fuel system enhances combustion efficiency and performance, while the 16:1 compression ratio optimizes fuel economy; however, maintenance on the liquid-cooled system must be managed to prevent overheating during extended use.

| Gears | 8 forward and 4 reverse |
| Clutch | 279.4mm dry disc |
| Description | Four gears in two ranges, plus reverse. |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Volvo 2250 tractor features a two-speed power shift transmission with a total of 16 forward and 8 reverse gears, providing flexibility in various operational scenarios. The optional hydraulic power shift enhances efficiency by allowing an additional high-low gear shift, improving torque management for heavy-duty tasks. This setup is advantageous for diverse agricultural applications, but the complexity of the transmission may pose a challenge in maintenance and troubleshooting.
| Type | two-speed power shift |
| Gears | 16 forward and 8 reverse |
| Description | Optional hydraulic power shift adds an additional high-low shift to the base eight-speed transmission. |
MECHANICAL
The Volvo 2250 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, offering simplicity and lower maintenance but may limit traction on uneven terrain. Its hydrostatic power steering enhances maneuverability, while hydraulic wet disc brakes provide reliable stopping power in demanding conditions. With an 8-speed synchromesh transmission and an optional 16-speed two-speed power shift, it allows for versatility in speed and torque management, making it suitable for various agricultural tasks.
