Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled engine producing 15 hp (11.2 kW). It features a displacement of 47.2 cubic inches (0.8 L) and a compression ratio of 22:1.

The hydraulic system utilizes an open-center design with a pump flow of 3 gpm (11.4 lpm) and a system pressure of 1850 psi (127.6 bar). It features a category I/0 rear hitch with position control, providing a rear lift capacity of 830 lbs (376 kg). The rear PTO operates at multiple speeds of 454, 724, and 1185 RPM at an engine speed of 2700 RPM.
Dimensions and Chassis
With a wheelbase of 50.4 inches (128 cm) and a total width of 45 inches (114 cm), the tractor offers a compact footprint suitable for tight spaces. It provides a ground clearance of 13 inches (33 cm) and weighs approximately 1080 lbs (489 kg). Standard agricultural tires are fitted, with 4.50x10 sizing for the front and 8-16 for the rear.
Conclusion
The Bolens H1502 is a reliable, compact machine suited for small-scale agricultural operations or property maintenance where maneuverability and ease of use are prioritized over heavy-duty traction.
