STEYR 988 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Steyr 988 tractor features a robust WD 412.41 4-cylinder diesel engine with a 4.4L displacement, providing 85hp and 217lb-ft of torque at 1500 RPM, which is advantageous for tasks requiring substantial pulling power at lower engine speeds. Its bore and stroke dimensions (4.25x4.72 inches) contribute to effective thermodynamic efficiency, making it suitable for varied field operations. However, the rated RPM of 2400 may restrict high-speed applications, presenting a challenge in scenarios demanding rapid field maneuverability.

TRANSMISSION
The Steyr 988 features a synchro transmission with 12 forward and 6 reverse gears, providing smooth and efficient gear shifting, ideal for varied agricultural tasks. The availability of multiple gear ratios enhances versatility, allowing for optimal adaptation to different field conditions and speed requirements. However, the complexity of the synchro system can lead to higher maintenance requirements compared to simpler gear mechanisms.

MECHANICAL
The Steyr 988 tractor offers versatile drivetrain options with a choice between 2WD and 4WD, allowing for better adaptability across varying terrains. The hydrostatic power steering enhances maneuverability, particularly in tight spaces, while its 12-speed transmission provides a balance of speed and torque for diverse agricultural tasks. However, operating in rough terrain with 2WD may limit traction, and maintenance of the hydrostatic system can require specialized knowledge.
