TRANSMISSION
The Steyr 8170 features a synchro transmission, providing smoother gear shifts and enhanced operator control, particularly beneficial during field operations or when navigating varying terrain. With 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, it offers versatile speed and torque configurations, allowing efficient adaptation to different tasks such as plowing or transporting loads. However, the manual nature of synchro transmissions may require increased driver skill for optimal performance compared to fully automatic transmissions.

MECHANICAL
The Steyr 8170 features a 4x4 MFWD chassis, providing superior traction and stability, especially in uneven terrain. Its hydrostatic power steering enhances maneuverability, reducing operator fatigue during long hours of use, though it may require maintenance for fluid integrity. The 12-speed transmission allows for versatile speed management, which is beneficial for various agricultural tasks but may present a learning curve for new operators.
