Steyr CVT - The "thinking" tractor

STEYR CVT tractors are equipped with a state-of-the-art electronic network, by way of which important components are permanently communicating through a continuous exchange of data. This system, the so-called S-tronic -connects engine, continuously variable transmission, EHR (Electronic Hitch Response) PTO shaft, auxiliary control units and differential lock as well as operator controls and the performance monitor using an ISO-compatible system (CAN BUS).

More comfort and greater economy
S-tronic automatically adjusts the engine to the most efficient engine speed for highest productivity. With S-tronic your CVT tractor will never exceed an engine speed of 1900 rpm.
For example, on the road S-tronic adjusts the engine speed to most economical fuel consumption, while in the field doing PTO work S-tronic concentrates on ensuring consistent PTO speed.
For large-area fertiliser application you can also select a manual mode. Then the speed ratio remains constant so the engine speed and PTO speed change in line with the travelling speed.

Continuously variable into the future
The continuously variable transmission marks the start of a new generation of drive systems. Through intelligent torque division STEYR has created the perfect continuously variable drive for every driving mode. The engine power is transmitted in part hydraulically, but predominantly mechanically: rugged technology for high performance demands. A new transmission design allows 50 kph at a reduced engine speed of below 1900 rpm.

Economical and comfortable
Continuously variable transmission combines economy and driving comfort. Engine speed is regulated electronically in the optimum speed range to minimize fuel consumption. The transmission speed ratio needed for the desired travelling speed is provided automatically, with continuously variable control.
