Bernardin B227 DT-A: four-wheel-drive tractor from Uruguay with a Volvo Penta six-cylinder diesel, 170 kW and a 12-speed gearbox

The manufacturer Bernardin built this tractor, according to the register data, in Uruguay. The “other models” range in the register gathers the vehicles that could not be assigned to a named range of the manufacturer; with six cylinders and an engine from Volvo Penta, the B227 DT-A belongs to the class of heavy agricultural tractors for large-scale farming.

The B227 DT-A carries a six-cylinder diesel engine of the Volvo Penta TD 71A type, producing 170 kW, or 230 hp. Power is sent through a gearbox with twelve forward and four reverse ratios to all four wheels; the DT-A designation in the model name denotes the range's four-wheel drive.

Four-wheel drive with twelve forward gears allows fine matching between field work with heavy implements and transport runs on the farm. The Volvo Penta six-cylinder delivers high torque across a wide speed range at 170 kW, of the kind pulling a plough, cultivator or heavy trailer demands.

When buying a tractor with a third-party engine used, it should first be checked whether parts for this exact engine type can be obtained; equally important are the condition of the clutch and front axle, which carry heavy extra load in four-wheel-drive operation. Corrosion on the frame and mudguards and the tightness of the hydraulic connections also belong on the checklist.
