All-new Cervus CVT – flexible and compact design

Our view 'From the Cab' this month takes in the all-new Cervus CVT, which has seen Steyr Traktoren enter a completely new tractor category
The operator benefits from a cab that is one of the quietest in its class.

The all-new Cervus CVT comprises the 360hp 6360 Cervus CVT, the 390hp 6390 Cervus CVT, and 435hp 6440 Cervus CVT (maximum power outputs). They make up a new flexible compact design equally suited to ballasted heavy draft cultivations and to unballasted high payload tasks such as transport or front/rear hitch work, according to the company..
The new Cervus CVT models bear the new Steyr styling, and feature new daytime running lights. The operator benefits from a cab that is one of the quietest in its class, while the comfort afforded by its semi-active suspension is complemented by a new independent suspended front axle. The result is maximum comfort that enhances in-field productivity, while smooth high-speed travel and haulage are assured on the road, according to the company.

Tech packs

Three configurable tech packs allow customers to match their Cervus CVT to precision farming needs. Each includes integrated solutions such as Isobus compatibility and tractor implement management (TIM) for plug-and-play touchscreen tractor-implement interaction, Easytronic II with GPS trigger to automate implement headland management, and S-Turn II for full headland steering and implement automation. All models feature Connectivity Included, for lifetime access to FieldOps for real-time farm management data, remote monitoring, and informed decision-making.

Greater performance 

Cervus CVT tractors are designed around a structural engine sump, for maximum tractor strength and minimal vibration. Powering the Cervus range is an 8.7L FPT Cursor 9 six-cylinder turbocharged and intercooled engine used for the first time in a Steyr tractor. Ownership costs are minimised thanks to specification ranging from long 750hr service intervals to a low idle feature that reduces engine speed when the tractor is stationary. A 680L diesel capacity cuts refueling downtime.
Steyr’s latest continuously variable transmission development is a new 4x2 range CVT which, for the first time, has a maximum top travel speed of 60km/hr, to boost haulage efficiency, minimise travel time and get fieldwork underway faster. A new central tyre inflation system (CTIS) is the first integrated package available from Steyr. It enables tyres to be deflated to their minimum pressures for fieldwork, for a longer footprint that maximises traction and fuel economy while minimising compaction, before being reinflated within five minutes for full-speed road travel. The system features a twin-cylinder compressor incorporating idle management to minimise power consumption. Three pressure memory settings can be stored, and the compressor can also supply an external air line for machine cleaning.
With a 12,400kg base weight, the new Steyr Cervus CVT models have an 18,000kg maximum permissible gross vehicle weight, enabling the handling of high payloads to do more in each journey. The new Cervus CVT has the implement handling ability to match its power and traction, with an 11,760kg rear linkage lift capacity and up to five double-acting high-flow remote valves plus optional Power Beyond supply. A dual hydraulic pump provides 360L/min of oil flow. Up front, an optional 5,800kg electronic front hitch features pressure control that is adjustable via the Multicontroller armrest, to provide even consolidation with implements such as front packers. It can be supplemented by two double-acting spool valves and a 1,000/1,000E rpm PTO option.
