In 1960 the first model in what was called Steyr’s “Celebration Series” was introduced. Compared with earlier Steyrs, the new line was light, low and elegantly styled. Special attention had been paid to front‐loader operation. The two-cylinder 188 featured an entirely new engine, developed alongside Steyr’s new truck engines. The short‐stroke engine ran at a noticeably higher speed than its predecessors and delivered 28 hp. The transmission now included a range gearbox, giving 8+6 speeds. The rear axle was new and of portal design. For the first time on a Steyr there was also a weight‐transfer system sourced from Bosch. On the power take-off side, a 1,000 rpm PTO and a live‐drive PTO were provided.

The three-cylinder 190 was introduced in 1964, offering 36 hp. The suspended front axle was dropped, but otherwise the 190 was very similar to the 188.

The four-cylinder 288 (45 hp) was painted red instead of the orange used on the 188 and 190. It featured an 8+8 gearbox. In its final year, the 288 was replaced by the 50-hp 290.
