The finalists

The legendary Plus name is making a comeback in the Steyr tractor range, with the pre-view of a new five-strong series of 80-120hp Plus models set to succeed the brand’s Kompakt range. With the small tractor segment representing the largest market volume in Europe, the new Steyr Plus brings to the sector the latest technology within a compact package that is clearly identifiable by striking new hood styling with integrated road and work lighting.

Powered by FPT F5 3.6-litre four-cylinder engines that are turbocharged, intercooled and feature commonrail fuel injection, and incorporate FPT’s Hi-eSCR2 compact emissions technology to meet Stage V emissions regulations, the new tractors produce up to 506Nm of torque (on the largest model), and have a fuel/DEF capacity of 128.8/9.6 litres. The Steyr Plus Transmission is a 40kph 24F/24R with two-speed powershift and electro-hydraulic powershuttle and is available with additional creep speeds. The Plus series tractors also benefit from a brake-to-clutch feature that allows one-foot drive disengagement and braking when, for example, at a road junction or working with a loader.
