STEYR 970 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Steyr 970 tractor, with its WD301.87 turbo diesel 3-cylinder engine, offers a favorable power-to-weight ratio at 70hp and 197lb-ft torque, making it well-suited for moderate agricultural tasks and loader applications. However, the relatively low rated RPM of 2300 may limit its performance in high-speed operations, and the narrow power band could necessitate careful gear selection for optimal efficiency. Pros include good torque availability at low RPMs (1300), enhancing its capability for heavy pulling and traction in challenging terrains.
