ENGINE DETAIL

The Steyr 84 tractor features a robust single-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 1.3 L, which offers a gross power output of 17.8 hp at a rated 1750 RPM, making it suitable for lightweight agricultural tasks. Its high compression ratio of 21:1 enhances efficiency and torque, but may pose challenges with starting under colder conditions or when maintenance is neglected. An electric starter at 12 volts ensures ease of operation, although it may require a reliable power source for consistent performance in remote settings.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Steyr 84 tractor features a robust 4-speed transmission, coupled with a 5-speed creeper option, enabling precise speed control for various tasks such as tilling and hauling. The primary advantage of this setup is enhanced torque delivery at low speeds, ideal for heavy-duty operations. However, operators should be aware that frequent gear shifting may result in increased wear on the transmission components if not managed properly.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Steyr 84 tractor features a basic gear transmission with 4 forward and 1 reverse speed, providing essential maneuverability for small to medium agricultural tasks. While the limited gear range may restrict adaptability in diverse terrain, it offers simplicity and reliability in operation. This setup is ideal for users seeking an uncomplicated vehicle for straightforward farming applications but may not meet the demands of more complex operations requiring higher speed variations.

Gears 4 forward and 1 reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The Steyr 84 tractor features a creeper gear type, which allows for precise control at low speeds, ideal for tasks like plowing or planting. With 5 forward and reverse gears, it provides versatility in various farming applications, though the limited gear range may challenge operations requiring higher speed. Optimal for small to mid-sized farms, this configuration benefits tasks that prioritize torque stability over rapid movement.

MECHANICAL

The Steyr 84 tractor, equipped with a 4x2 2WD chassis, provides limited traction in challenging terrains, making it suitable primarily for flat, dry conditions. Its mechanical rear differential lock enhances traction on slippery surfaces but may struggle in steep or rugged applications. The open operator station and manual steering offer simplicity and ease of maintenance, but may compromise operator comfort and control during prolonged use.

STEYR 84 TIRES

The Steyr 84 tractor features agricultural front tires sized 5.50-16, providing good maneuverability and stability during field operations, while the larger rear tires 8-28 enhance traction and load distribution. This combination is optimal for medium-duty tasks, offering an advantage in both row crop applications and light soil tillage. However, the limited tire sizes may restrict performance in heavy-duty conditions or extremely muddy terrains, necessitating careful consideration of operational environments.
