Introduction
Steyr 182: Standard-Tread Agricultural Tractor
The Steyr 182 is a classic two-wheel drive agricultural tractor produced between 1957 and 1959. As part of the 182a series, this machine was designed as a robust standard-tread utility tractor for mid-century farming operations.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by the Steyr WD 213c, a liquid-cooled, 2-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 2.7 liters (162.4 ci). It produces a gross power output of 35.5 hp (26.5 kW) at a rated speed of 1700 RPM, with a net power of 31.6 hp (23.6 kW). The engine features a 21:1 compression ratio and is equipped with a 12-volt electric starter system.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Equipped with a mechanical gear transmission, the Steyr 182 offers 6 forward gears and 1 reverse gear to accommodate various field tasks. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a 2WD configuration, supported by a mechanical rear differential lock to enhance traction in challenging ground conditions.
Hydraulics and PTO
The machine features a rear Power Take-Off (PTO) shaft operating at a standard speed of 540 RPM, achieved when the engine is running at 1470 RPM. This allows for the operation of various implements common to agricultural work of that era.
Dimensions and Handling
The Steyr 182 has a wheelbase of 183 cm (72.1 inches) and an overall length of 282 cm (111.3 inches). With a base weight of 1920 kg (4233 lbs) and a maximum capacity of 2919 kg (6437 lbs), the tractor provides necessary stability. It utilizes manual steering and mechanical drum brakes, and features an open operator station for visibility.
Conclusion
The Steyr 182 remains a representative example of late 1950s agricultural engineering. Its combination of a reliable 2-cylinder diesel engine, mechanical transmission, and standard-tread design makes it suitable for general-purpose farm work, maintenance tasks, and as a collectible machine for enthusiasts of vintage agricultural machinery.
