The manufacturer Bernardin built this tractor, according to the register data, in Uruguay.

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.
