Info
The Steyr 280, introduced in 1952, was one of the largest tractors of its time. The 5.3-liter four-cylinder engine, converted from a truck diesel, had a power output of 60 hp. The ZF-manufactured gearbox had 5+1 gears, with two slower gears available at an additional cost. The 280 was designed solely for towing towed equipment, so a lifting device was not available at the beginning at all.
The red 280a, upgraded to 68 horsepower, was introduced in 1958. Improvements were made in many areas, one of the most significant being the dual clutch.

The data has been collected primarily from brochures. In some cases, sources contain conflicting information. In such cases, we have attempted to select the most reliable information.
There is particularly significant variation in speed data, which varies depending on factors such as tire size. For tires, only the size most commonly used in Finland is listed.
Other changes during the model history have been addressed in the text section. For the front axle lock, the Finnish term "hammaslukko" (gear lock) is used for all 100% locks.
