Introduction

Steyr 6170 CVT Utility Tractor

The Steyr 6170 CVT is a utility tractor produced between 2003 and 2007. Belonging to the 6155-6190 CVT series, this model is engineered for heavy-duty agricultural operations requiring high power output and operational flexibility.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is equipped with a 6.6-liter (402.8 ci) Sisu 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. It generates 171 horsepower (127.5 kW) at a rated speed of 2100 RPM. The engine produces a peak torque of 535 lb-ft (725.5 Nm) at 1400 RPM, providing consistent lugging power for demanding fieldwork. It utilizes a liquid-cooling system and a 12-volt electric starter.

Transmission and Driveline

Power is delivered through a continuously variable transmission (CVT), which provides infinite forward and reverse speed control without the need for traditional gear shifting. The machine features a four-wheel drive system for enhanced traction, paired with power steering and wet disc brakes for reliable control and safety during operation.

Hydraulics and PTO

The hydraulic system operates at a pressure of 2973 psi (205.0 bar) and delivers a total flow of 34.3 gpm (129.8 lpm) across 5 valves, supporting complex hydraulic implements. The rear power take-off (PTO) offers four speeds (540/540E/1000/1000E), while the front PTO is rated at 1000 RPM, allowing for the simultaneous operation of front and rear attachments.

Capacity and Dimensions

The tractor is built on a 111.5-inch (283 cm) wheelbase with a total weight of 14,930 lbs (6772 kg). It is equipped with a Category III/II rear hitch capable of lifting 21,830 lbs (9902 kg), complemented by a front lift capacity of 8,822 lbs (4001 kg). It runs on 540/65R28 front and 650/65R38 rear agricultural tires.

Conclusion

The Steyr 6170 CVT is a versatile utility tractor designed for operators who require precise speed control and high lifting capacities. Its combination of a high-torque Sisu engine, CVT transmission, and comprehensive hydraulic and PTO configurations makes it suitable for intensive mixed-farming tasks and heavy-duty traction work.
