Engine Make:
Steyr (likely manufactured by Steyr or a contracted supplier for Steyr)
Engine Type:
Diesel (typical for agricultural tractors of this era)
Cylinders:
Likely 6-cylinder, based on Steyr's typical engine configurations for models in this power range.
Model 8150 Horsepower:
Approximately 150 HP (Gross Engine Power). Specific net power output may vary.
Model 8170 Horsepower:
Approximately 170 HP (Gross Engine Power). Specific net power output may vary.
Injection System:
Likely direct injection, possibly with rotary or inline injection pumps.
Transmission Type:
Likely a synchronized manual transmission, potentially with a powershift option (e.g., Steyr's 'Hi-Lo' or similar).
Powershift Option:
Possible, common in higher horsepower tractors of this period to offer variable speed control without clutching.
Gear Selection:
Detailed parts for gear selectors, synchronizers, and shift forks.
Chassis Type:
Likely a robust, heavy-duty tractor chassis designed for agricultural use.
Operating Weight:
Estimated around 6,000 - 7,500 kg (13,200 - 16,500 lbs) depending on configuration and ballast. Specific figures require model year data.
Rollover Protection:
Likely available with a ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) frame or integrated cab.
Braking System Type:
Typically hydraulic disc brakes, often with wet disc brakes for enhanced durability and performance in dusty conditions.
Operator Station Design:
Cab or platform designed for operator comfort and safety, with accessible controls.
Dashboard Instruments:
Basic analog gauges for engine RPM, oil pressure, coolant temperature, fuel level, and hour meter. May include warning lights.
Power Steering:
Hydraulic power steering is standard, significantly easing maneuverability.
Pdp Connections:
Provision for Power Beyond and remote hydraulic couplings for external implements.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically 250-500 operating hours, depending on operating conditions and oil specification. Manual will provide precise intervals.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Typically annually or every 500-1000 operating hours. Manual will specify.
Air Filter Maintenance:
Regular inspection and cleaning/replacement, especially in dusty environments. Manual provides specific schedules.
Engine Oil Type:
Multi-grade diesel engine oil, e.g., SAE 15W-40 API CD/CE or higher. Manual will confirm specific grade and API rating.
Hydraulic Fluid Type:
Tractor Hydraulic Fluid (THF) or Universal Tractor Transmission Oil (UTTO) meeting specific viscosity and performance standards (e.g., UTF, CAT TO-2). Manual will specify Steyr's recommendation.
Transmission Fluid Type:
May use the same UTTO/THF as the hydraulic system, or a specific gear oil for the gearbox. Manual is critical here.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze/coolant, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Manual will specify type and concentration.
Typical Wear Points:
Hydraulic pump wear, clutch wear, PTO clutch engagement, front axle wear (especially in heavy-duty applications), and electrical connection corrosion are common for tractors of this age. Detailed diagnostic procedures in manual are essential.
Part Number Clarity:
Crucial feature of the catalog, enabling accurate identification of replacement parts for all systems.
Manufacturer Origin:
Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG, Austria. Known for high-quality agricultural machinery.
Series Context:
The 8100 series, to which these models belong, represented Steyr's advanced tractor technology in the late 1970s and 1980s, focusing on comfort, performance, and durability.
Production Period:
Likely late 1970s to early 1990s, depending on specific model iterations.
