Steyr Absolut CVT – large tractors 6185, 6200, 6220 and 6240 with continuously variable transmission since 2019, six-cylinder diesels from 132 to 176 kW with 6.7 litres displacement, built in St. Valentin
The Absolut CVT is Steyr's flagship series, built since 2019 at the St. Valentin plant. The CVT suffix stands for continuously variable transmission, which regulates travel speed independently of engine speed without steps; the four-digit number after Absolut CVT reflects the respective power tier and rises from 6185 to 6240. As part of the CNH group, the Absolut CVT shares its technical base with comparable series from Case IH and New Holland, while competing on the market under the Steyr name.

The register lists four versions here with 132 to 176 kW from six-cylinder diesel engines with a uniform 6,728 cm³ displacement. Rated speed is 2,200 rpm, unladen weight is 8,350 kg with a length of 5,017 mm, a width of 2,682 mm and a height of 3,090 mm.
With its continuously variable transmission, the Absolut CVT is aimed at large arable farms and contractors who want to stay in the optimal speed range without gear changes under varying draft loads, such as ploughing versus road transport, and competes there with the CVT large tractors from Fendt, Case IH and John Deere.
When buying used, check the condition of the CVT transmission and adherence to its oil-change intervals, tightness of the hydraulic system, wear on the clutch packs in the drivetrain, and the software versions of the engine control unit. Parts and diagnostics run through the CNH dealer network for Steyr.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
