Rated output within it ranges from 155 to 200 hp; the 9170 a sits in the lower part of that range with 170 hp. Its immediate neighbours are the 9160 a below it with 160 hp and the 9180 a above it with 180 hp. Unladen weight within it ranges from 6,050 to 6,585 kg; here the 9170 a sits at the top of that range with 6,585 kg. 228 Steyr (SLT) models across 6 series are on record.

Steyr (SLT) 9100 series – the big six-cylinder tractors of the 2000s: 9155 a to 9200 a, 114 to 147 kW from 6.6 to 7.4-litre engines

The 9100 range of Steyr Landmaschinentechnik (SLT) covers the big six-cylinder tractors of the 2000s. The type designations 9155 a to 9200 a give the power class in the first three digits, from 155 to 200 hp; the suffix a marks the model variant of this range.

The register lists here 5 versions with 114.1 to 147.2 kW from six-cylinders of 6,596 to 7,365 cc, unladen weights from 6,050 to 6,585 kg, lengths from 5,115 to 5,165 mm, widths from 2,395 to 2,450 mm and heights from 2,860 to 3,080 mm, torque from 643 to 830 Nm at a rated speed of 2,200 rpm. The engines run on either diesel or RME.

The 9100 range formed the big-tractor class in the Steyr programme of the 2000s, for large arable farms and heavy draft work with high power demand, above the mid-range ranges of the brand. In this class the 9100 range competed with the big six- and eight-cylinder tractors of other European makers of those years.

On these big six-cylinders, what counts is operating hours and service history of the engine, the condition of clutch, gearbox and four-wheel drive, the tightness of the hydraulics and lift, and on RME operation the fuel lines and filters; parts run through the CNH and Steyr network, as well as the condition of the tyres and the trailer hitch on these machines designed for heavy draft work.

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.
