STEYR 942 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Steyr 942 tractor features a WD308 diesel engine with a compact 3-cylinder layout, providing a balance between power and efficiency, ideal for small to medium farm operations. With a displacement of 2.4L and a peak torque of 111 lb-ft at 1350 RPM, it offers strong low-end performance for demanding tasks like plowing and hauling. However, at 42hp, it may face challenges in heavy-duty applications requiring higher horsepower, making it best suited for lighter agricultural tasks and maneuvering in tighter spaces.

STEYR 942 ENGINE
The Steyr 942 tractor is powered by a 2.4L 3-cylinder diesel engine, offering a balance between power and efficiency. With a fuel tank capacity of 14 gallons (53.0L), it is suited for extended operational periods without frequent refueling, although its smaller tank compared to larger tractors may necessitate more stops on long tasks. Overall, its compact design is advantageous for maneuverability in smaller fields, but may limit its capacity for heavy-duty applications.

TRANSMISSION
The Steyr 942 tractor's synchro transmission allows for smooth gear shifts, which enhances operational efficiency in varied terrain. With 16 forward and 8 reverse gears, it offers versatility for tasks requiring precise speed control and maneuverability, making it suitable for both heavy fieldwork and tight spaces. However, the complexity of the synchro system may require more frequent maintenance compared to simple transmission designs, potentially increasing operational costs over time.

MECHANICAL
The Steyr 942 features a robust 4x2 or optional 4x4 MFWD configuration, enhancing traction and stability across varying terrains, making it ideal for both agricultural and light construction tasks. Its hydrostatic power steering allows for easier maneuverability, reducing operator fatigue during long hours of operation. The 16-speed transmission provides versatility in speed control, aiding in precise work such as planting or towing, though it may require skill to optimize performance in challenging conditions.

STEYR 942 TIRES
The Steyr 942 tractor features Ag front tires sized 8.3-24 and rear tires 12.4-32, providing a balanced weight distribution for optimal traction. The tire configuration enhances stability during field operations, favoring applications in row crop farming or light to moderate tillage. However, the relatively narrow front tires may present challenges in soft or uneven terrain, necessitating careful maneuvering to avoid sinkage.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Steyr 942 tractor features a wheelbase of 78 inches (198 cm), which provides stability and maneuverability in confined spaces, making it ideal for small to medium agricultural operations. Weighing 5,204 lbs (2,360 kg), it offers a robust structure to handle heavier implements, but may require adequate power for towing in challenging terrains. Notably, the rear tire size of 12.4-32 enhances traction and lift capacity, although the front tire size of 7.50-16 may limit front-end load handling compared to larger front tires.
