Introduction
Belarus 255 Utility Tractor
The Belarus 255 is an agricultural utility tractor produced in 1987. Designed for general farm tasks, this two-wheel drive model emphasizes mechanical simplicity and functional reliability within the 27 horsepower class.
Engine and Powertrain
The tractor is powered by the Belarus D21A, a 2-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 127 cubic inches (2.1 liters). It utilizes direct injection for fuel delivery and is air-cooled, which simplifies cooling system maintenance. The engine operates at a rated speed of 1800 RPM. Power is managed through a gear-type transmission providing 8 forward and 6 reverse speeds, coupled with a mechanical dry disc clutch.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is an open-center design with a pump flow capacity of 4.16 gpm (15.7 lpm) and a system pressure of 1842 psi (127.0 bar). It features a single valve for implement control. The rear Power Take-Off (PTO) operates at a standard 540 RPM via a 1.375-inch shaft, providing compatibility with a range of agricultural implements.
Mechanical Specifications and Hitch
The Belarus 255 is built on a 70-inch wheelbase with power-assisted steering to facilitate maneuverability. The rear hitch is a Category I three-point system, capable of lifting up to 1210 lbs (548 kg) at the ends. Braking is handled by mechanical band brakes on the rear wheels. The operator station is an open design, with Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) options available for safety.
Conclusion
With its 1928 kg operating weight and compact dimensions, the Belarus 255 serves as a stable, maneuverable platform for light-duty agricultural operations, general property maintenance, and small-scale implement work.
