Steyr CVT: stepless transmission for large-scale farming, from the 6230 to the CVT 6225, 88.3 to 195 kW (120 to 265 hp), six-cylinder Sisu Diesel engines with water cooling
Since the 1996 takeover by what became the CNH group, Steyr has remained an independent brand based in St. Valentin. The CVT series represents the stepless large tractors with which Steyr has competed in the upper power segment ever since.

The register lists 7 live models, from the 6230 to the CVT 6225, built roughly between 2000 and 2009. Output ranges from 88.3 to 195 kW, or 120 to 265 hp, weight from 6,270 to 8,500 kg, displacement from 6,597 to 6,728 cm3, with six-cylinder engines throughout.
The namesake stepless CVT transmission allows travel speed to be matched to load and ground conditions without delay, avoiding the drawbar-pull interruption of classic powershift gearboxes.
The CVT series thus sits clearly above the classic 8000-series tradition, aimed at large operations with high demands on ride comfort and efficiency.
The Sisu Diesel six-cylinder fitted here now trades as AGCO Power, after the Finnish engine maker was fully absorbed into the AGCO group; spares for this engine type accordingly run through AGCO's parts logistics. When buying a used CVT tractor, besides the engine, the condition of the hydrostatic-mechanical power-split transmission matters most: gearbox oil-change intervals, the transmission electronics' fault memory and the function of the stepless adjustment should be checked on a test drive across the full speed range before buying.

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.
