Steyr 40 vs Steyr 540
Verdict: Steyr 40 vs Steyr 540
The Steyr 40 and the Steyr 540 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Steyr 540 leads on rated power with 40 hp against 38 hp. Steyr 540 is the lighter machine (2,120 kg vs 4,123 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
