STEYR M 958 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Steyr M 958 tractor is powered by a Perkins 903.27T turbo diesel engine, delivering 58hp at a rated RPM of 2250 and generating a strong torque of 164 lb-ft at 1400 RPM. Its 3-cylinder design and 2.7L displacement provide a balance of power and efficiency, making it suitable for light to medium agricultural tasks such as tillage and feeding. However, the limited power output may pose challenges for heavy-duty applications, where competitors might offer higher horsepower options.

STEYR M 958 ENGINE
The Steyr M 958 is powered by a Perkins 2.7L 3-cylinder diesel engine, which offers reliable performance and good fuel efficiency for medium-duty applications. With a 19.3-gallon (73.1L) fuel tank, it provides extended operational time between refueling, advantageous for tasks such as plowing or heavy lifting in the agricultural sector. However, the smaller size of the tank relative to larger models may necessitate more frequent stops for refueling during prolonged work periods.

TRANSMISSION
The Steyr M 958 features a synchro transmission, allowing for smoother gear shifting and minimizing engine load during gear changes. With a total of 16 forward and 8 reverse gears, it offers enhanced versatility for various agricultural tasks, enabling optimal speed and torque management for different field conditions. However, the complexity of the gear system may present a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with multi-gear tractors, potentially affecting efficiency initially.

MECHANICAL
The Steyr M 958 tractor features a versatile 4x2 and optional 4x4 multistage four-wheel drive (MFWD) system, enhancing traction and stability on varied terrains, particularly beneficial for agricultural applications on slippery or uneven surfaces. Its hydrostatic power steering offers exceptional maneuverability, reducing operator fatigue during extended use, while the 16-speed transmission facilitates optimal performance across diverse field conditions. However, the reliance on disc brakes may necessitate more frequent maintenance under heavy load conditions than drum brakes, potentially impacting longevity in some scenarios.

STEYR M 958 TIRES
The Steyr M 958 tractor features Ag front tires sized 340/75R20 and rear tires sized 14.9R30, providing a balanced weight distribution essential for optimal traction and stability on varying terrains. The larger rear tires enhance flotation in soft soil conditions, while the front tire specification contributes to improved steering responsiveness. However, operators should consider the potential challenge of limited ground clearance with the standard tire sizes in rocky or uneven terrain scenarios.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Steyr M 958 tractor features a substantial wheelbase of 83.5 inches (212 cm), providing enhanced stability during operation, particularly when navigating uneven terrain. Weighing in at 6,064 lbs (2,750 kg), it can effectively handle larger implements for agricultural tasks, though its mass may limit maneuverability in tighter spaces. The combination of front tires measuring 7.50-18 and rear tires at 14.9R30 suggests a balanced load distribution, optimizing traction and reducing the risk of soil compaction during fieldwork.
