TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Steyr 8130 tractor features a versatile transmission system, offering options such as an 18-speed synchronized and a 36-speed partial power shift, making it suitable for varied field operations and terrain. The inclusion of a creeper gear allows for precise speed control in low-speed applications, ideal for tasks such as planting or tillage. However, managing the complexity of multiple gear options may require a steeper learning curve for operators unfamiliar with advanced transmission systems.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Steyr 8130 tractor features a synchronized transmission with 18 forward and 6 reverse gears, allowing for versatile speed adjustments suitable for various agricultural tasks. The six gears across three ranges (Low, Medium, and Variable) enhance operational flexibility but may be limited in certain regions, offering only 15 forward and 5 reverse gears. This limitation could affect performance in specific applications requiring higher speed ranges or rapid directional changes, making it important to evaluate operational needs before selection.

Type synchronized
Gears 18 forward and 6 reverse
Description Six gears (1-6) in three ranges (L/M/V) plus reverse range. In some areas sixth gears was not available, providing a total of 15 forward and 5 reverse.

TRANSMISSION 2

The Steyr 8130 tractor features a Steyr-Matic transmission with partial power shift, providing efficient gear changes that enhance operational productivity. With 36 forward and 12 reverse gears, it offers excellent adaptability for various field conditions and tasks, allowing for precise speed control. This setup is advantageous in applications requiring frequent direction changes, but may present a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with power shift systems.

Gears 36 forward and 12 reverse

TRANSMISSION 3

The Steyr 8130 tractor features a synchronized transmission with a creeper gear range, offering a total of 30 gears (24 forward and 6 reverse), which enhances versatility for tasks requiring precise speed control, such as tilling or planting. The additional creeper range allows for very slow operation, ideal for working in confined spaces or handling delicate operations. However, the complexity of the transmission may require more maintenance and could increase repair costs compared to simpler models.

Gears 24 forward and 6 reverse
Description Additional creeper range (K) added to the basic transmission.

TRANSMISSION 4

The Steyr 8130 features a Steyr-Matic partial power shift transmission, providing smooth gear changes and efficient power delivery across its 48 forward and 12 reverse gears. This extensive range allows for optimal speed selection based on load and terrain, enhancing productivity in varied agricultural scenarios. However, the complexity of the transmission system may require specialized maintenance skills, potentially leading to higher service costs.
