Info
In the early 1950s, Steyr's lineup included 1-, 2-, and 4-cylinder tractors. The missing 3-cylinder model joined the series in 1955 with the introduction of the 45-horsepower 185. It was marketed, among other things, for pulling large combine harvesters. The standard features included a 6+1 gearbox and a dual clutch. A weight transfer system was missed. Most of the 185 units were sold to export markets.
The green 185 was followed by the red 185a in 1958. Its power was increased to 55 horsepower. As an additional option, smaller gears were available in 7+1 or 9+2 gearbox versions.

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.
