ENGINE DETAIL
The Zetor 12145 features a robust 6-cylinder diesel engine with a significant displacement of 6.8L, offering enhanced torque and power for heavy-duty applications, making it ideal for demanding agricultural tasks. The bore and stroke configuration (4.331x4.724 inches) indicates a long stroke design that can improve low-end torque, but may result in a less responsive throttle in some scenarios. The 24-quart coolant capacity supports effective engine temperature management, which is critical for preventing overheating in extended operation.
