Fiat F-130 DT or Steyr CVT 130?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the F-130 DT has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the CVT 130 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Steyr CVT 130 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 115% (65.0 L/min / 17.2 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Steyr CVT 130 suits road haulage better on this data: 30% (2,400 kg / 5,291 lb) more maximum permissible mass.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “the same stated configuration”. Measured figures are compared only with measured, claimed only with claimed, at the same test condition; differences within each figure’s tolerance are not called.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Steyr CVT 130 has 115% more hydraulic flow (65.0 L/min / 17.2 gpm) than the Fiat F-130 DT (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Steyr CVT 130 is 15% heavier (820 kg / 1,808 lb) than the Fiat F-130 DT (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Steyr CVT 130 has 30% higher maximum permissible mass (2,400 kg / 5,291 lb) than the Fiat F-130 DT (both maximum permissible mass, as stated by the source).
- The Steyr CVT 130 is newer: production began 10 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Transmissions differ in kind: the Fiat F-130 DT has 16 to 32 forward gears and the Steyr CVT 130 is stepless (CVT) — not called.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the F-130 DT has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the CVT 130 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the F-130 DT: lift 610 mm behind the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Fiatagri F130 DT”); the CVT 130: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Steyr CVT 130”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, a creeper range and PTO independence.
