Introduction
Steyr 1200 Agricultural Tractor
The Steyr 1200 is a heavy-duty agricultural tractor produced by the Austrian manufacturer Steyr between 1972 and 1975. Designed for demanding field operations, this model occupies the 115 horsepower segment, reflecting the engineering standards of the 1970s.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 6-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 6.0 liters (364.7 ci). It produces a rated power of 115 hp (85.8 kW) at 2200 RPM. The engine provides a maximum torque of 282 lb-ft (382.4 Nm) at 1600 RPM, delivering consistent pulling force required for heavy tillage and draft work.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Equipped with a synchro transmission, the Steyr 1200 offers 12 forward and 6 reverse gears, allowing for precise speed selection during field operations. The standard configuration is a 4x2 2WD system, with a 4x4 MFWD (Mechanical Front Wheel Drive) option available to improve traction in difficult soil conditions. Steering is assisted by a hydrostatic power system to reduce operator fatigue.
Hydraulics and Implements
The hydraulic system provides a total flow of 9.4 gpm (35.6 lpm). The rear hitch system features a lift capacity of 8,379 lbs (3,800 kg), suitable for handling various mounted implements. The rear Power Take-Off (PTO) supports both 540 and 1000 RPM speeds, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of powered agricultural equipment.
Dimensions and Weight
The machine has a wheelbase of 102.0 inches (259 cm) and an overall length of 173.2 inches (439 cm). With a base weight of 10,981 lbs (4,980 kg), the tractor offers the necessary mass for stability. It is typically fitted with 11.00-20 front tires and 18.4-38 rear tires to ensure adequate ground contact and load distribution.
Conclusion
The Steyr 1200 serves as a robust platform for mid-to-large scale farming operations of its era. Its combination of a high-torque 6-cylinder engine, synchro transmission, and substantial lift capacity makes it well-suited for heavy-duty field tasks and draft-intensive applications.
