Introduction
Steyr 8180: Heavy-Duty Agricultural Tractor
The Steyr 8180 is a high-performance agricultural tractor produced between 1987 and 1993. It belongs to the 8170 series and is engineered for demanding field tasks, combining mechanical robustness with significant power output.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by the Steyr WD 612.96, a 6.6-liter turbocharged diesel engine. This 6-cylinder unit produces a rated power of 165 hp (123.0 kW) at 2200 RPM and generates 468 lb-ft (634.6 Nm) of torque at 1400 RPM. The engine is liquid-cooled, ensuring thermal stability during prolonged heavy-load operations.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The machine features a synchromesh transmission providing 36 forward and 12 reverse gears, allowing for precise speed selection across various operations. Power is transferred via a hydraulic wet disc clutch to a four-wheel drive system. Maneuverability is enhanced by power steering, while traction is managed through mechanical front and rear differential locks.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system utilizes an open-center design with a standard total flow of 11.6 gpm (43.9 lpm), which can be optionally increased to 15.9 gpm (60.2 lpm) for more demanding implements. The rear hitch is a Type III category, offering a substantial lifting capacity of 14,332.5 lbs (6,501 kg).
Dimensions and Physical Specifications
With a wheelbase of 106.3 inches (270 cm) and a total operating weight of 13,770 lbs (6,246 kg), the Steyr 8180 is built for stability. It is equipped with 18.4R28 front tires and 20.8R38 rear tires, providing the necessary footprint for heavy traction requirements.
Conclusion
The Steyr 8180 is a heavy-duty tractor designed for professional agricultural environments requiring high engine torque and substantial lifting capacity. Its combination of a multi-gear transmission and high-strength hydraulic system makes it suitable for complex tillage, heavy haulage, and large-scale implement management.
