STEYR M 963 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Steyr M 963 features a Perkins 903.27T turbo diesel, providing efficient power delivery at 63 hp (47 kW) with a torque peak of 176 lb-ft (238.7 Nm) at 1400 RPM, ideal for substantial fieldwork. Its compact 3-cylinder design with a 2.7L displacement enhances maneuverability while maintaining fuel efficiency, making it suitable for medium-duty tasks on smaller farms. However, operators should be mindful of less torque output compared to larger tractors, which may limit performance in heavy-draft applications.

STEYR M 963 ENGINE
The Steyr M 963 tractor is powered by a Perkins 2.7L 3-cylinder diesel engine, providing a balance of efficiency and torque for various agricultural tasks. With a fuel tank capacity of 19.3 gallons (73.1 liters), it offers extended operational range, ideal for medium-scale farming without frequent refueling. However, the smaller engine displacement may lead to limitations in power for heavier towing or larger implements, necessitating careful selection of attachments based on operational demands.

TRANSMISSION
The Steyr M 963 features a synchro transmission that allows for smooth gear changes, enhancing operator comfort and productivity during fieldwork. With 16 forward and 8 reverse gears, it offers excellent versatility for various agricultural tasks, enabling precise speed control in diverse terrain or crop conditions. However, in challenging environments, the synchro system may require more skill to operate optimally compared to an automatic transmission.

MECHANICAL
The Steyr M 963 features a versatile chassis with optional 4x4 MFWD, enhancing traction in diverse terrains, which is advantageous for agricultural tasks requiring stability. Its hydrostatic power steering offers improved maneuverability, particularly in tight spaces, while the 16-speed transmission allows for tailored speed control, optimizing efficiency during operations. However, selecting the 4WD option may increase maintenance complexity and cost compared to the 2WD variant.
