Steyr is something of a 'Cinderella' within the CNH group; everybody knows the name but it doesn’t register as a major brand in this part of the world.The entity, however, appears to be increasingly active in raising its profile (albeit overseas, where the tractors are actually marketed and sold) with a further two announcements of changes to its range.

FPT 6-cylinder engine

The first concerns the introduction of a new compact, six-cylinder model which produces 145hp (pictured below). This follows hot on the heels of its sister brand - Case IH - launching the Maxxum 150 CVX last month.Both tractors are powered by the same FPT N67 (6.7L) series engine. When fitted with this motor, the tractors enjoy a near 6% torque increase over the equivalent 4.5L, four-cylinder models.

Emissions levels comply with Stage IV Final, thanks to patented HI-eSCR2 after-treatment technology, according to FPT.The new tractor is known as the Profi 6145 CVT, to differentiate it from its four-cylinder stablemate in the Steyr range - the Profi 4145 CVT - which offers the same power output from a smaller-capacity engine.There are 15 individual models in Steyr’s Profi range. The six-cylinder engine is available on all three model designations: the Profi; Profi Classic; and Profi CVT.Transmission options mirror those of the Case IH Maxxum range.

Terrus now stage V ready

In other news from Steyr, the top-of-the-range Terrus models (see main/featured picture and below) now comply with Stage V emissions regulations.

According to the company, NOx emissions are reduced and Stage V is achieved thanks to "13 FPT-owned patents without design modifications to the engine".
