Introduction
Steyr 84 Standard-Tread Tractor
The Steyr 84 is a standard-tread agricultural tractor produced by the Austrian manufacturer Steyr between 1956 and 1963. Positioned as a versatile workhorse for small to medium-sized farming operations, this model is characterized by its mechanical simplicity and robust construction.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by the Steyr WD 113a, a single-cylinder, liquid-cooled diesel engine with a displacement of 1.3 liters (81.2 cubic inches). It delivers a gross power output of 17.8 hp (13.3 kW) at a rated speed of 1750 RPM. The engine features a compression ratio of 21:1 and is equipped with a 12-volt electric starter system.
Transmission and PTO
The drivetrain offers two configurations: a standard 4-forward and 1-reverse gear system, or an optional 5-speed creeper transmission to accommodate slow-speed tasks. The rear Power Take-Off (PTO) operates at a standard 540 RPM, which is achieved when the engine is running at 1500 RPM.
Mechanical Features and Dimensions
Built on a two-wheel drive chassis, the Steyr 84 features manual steering and mechanical drum brakes. It includes a mechanical rear differential lock to improve traction in field conditions. The machine has a wheelbase of 165 cm (65 inches) and a total weight of 1220 kg (2690 lbs), providing a stable platform for general agricultural duties. The operator station is of the open type, ensuring clear visibility.
Conclusion
The Steyr 84 remains a representative example of mid-20th-century tractor design, favored for its durability and ease of maintenance. Its specifications make it suitable for light traction work and field operations where maneuverability and reliability are prioritized.
