TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Steyr 86 tractor features a 4-speed gear transmission complemented by a 5-speed creeper option, allowing for versatile speed control during operations such as tillage or plowing. The additional creeper gears enhance low-speed torque, making it ideal for precision tasks like seedbed preparation. However, operators may face a learning curve to fully utilize the transmission's capabilities, particularly in transitioning between gear ranges effectively.

Gears 4 forward and 1 reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The Steyr 86 tractor features a creeper transmission system allowing for enhanced low-speed maneuvers, which is advantageous for tasks requiring precise control, such as plowing or tilling. With 5 forward and reverse gears, it provides flexibility in various terrains, although the limited gear range may be a challenge in high-speed applications. Ideal for small to medium-sized farms where tasks demand careful handling and versatility.
