Introduction
Case IH Steiger 555 Articulated 4WD Tractor
The Case IH Steiger 555 is a high-horsepower, articulated four-wheel-drive tractor designed for large-scale agricultural operations. Manufactured in Fargo, North Dakota, this machine represents a core model in the Case IH Steiger series, engineered for heavy-duty primary tillage and high-capacity field work.
Engine and Power Delivery
The tractor is powered by a 12.9-liter, 6-cylinder, 24-valve turbocharged diesel engine. It delivers a rated power of 547.4 hp (408.2 kW) at 2100 RPM, with a maximum gross power output reaching 605.6 hp (451.6 kW). The engine is liquid-cooled and meets Tier IV emission standards, utilizing an electric starting system.
Transmission Systems
Operators can choose between two transmission configurations: the PowerDrive full power shift, offering 17 forward and 2 reverse gears, or the CVXDrive continuously variable transmission, which allows for infinite speed control. Both options facilitate efficient power transfer to the ground via a four-wheel-drive system.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The Steiger 555 features a closed-center hydraulic system with a base pump flow of 42 gpm (159.0 lpm), capable of supporting 4 to 8 remote valves. An optional high-capacity configuration is available to meet the demands of advanced implements. The rear hitch is a Category IVN type with a lift capacity of 22,750 lbs (10,319 kg) at 24 inches behind the lift point.
Operator Environment and Chassis
Built on a 154-inch wheelbase, the tractor utilizes articulated power steering for maneuverability despite its size. It is equipped with automatic front and rear differential locks to maintain traction in varying soil conditions. The standard cab includes integrated air conditioning, designed to maintain operator comfort during extended hours of operation.
Conclusion
The Steiger 555 is a robust, high-performance solution for demanding agricultural tasks requiring significant drawbar pull and hydraulic capacity. Its combination of advanced transmission options and heavy-duty chassis construction makes it suitable for large-acreage farming and intensive field applications.
