Introduction
Steiger 9180 Four-Wheel Drive Tractor
The Steiger 9180 is a heavy-duty four-wheel drive tractor produced between 1986 and 1990 in Fargo, North Dakota. Designed for large-scale agricultural operations, this machine represents a significant era in high-horsepower tractor engineering, focusing on traction, durability, and sustained performance.
Engine and Powertrain
The tractor is powered by a Cummins NTA-855, a 14.0-liter, 6-cylinder turbocharged and aftercooled diesel engine. It delivers 375 horsepower at a rated engine speed of 2100 RPM. With a peak torque of 1131 lb-ft reached at 1400 RPM, the engine is optimized for high-load pulling applications. The powertrain features a full power shift transmission providing 12 forward and 2 reverse gears, coupled with a hydraulic wet disc clutch.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The Steiger 9180 utilizes a closed-center hydraulic system with a total flow capacity of 40 gpm (151.4 lpm) and a system pressure of 2500 psi. It is equipped with 3 to 4 remote valves to operate various implements. The rear hitch is a Category IV configuration with a lift capacity of 14,000 lbs (6350 kg), allowing for the management of heavy tillage equipment.
Mechanical Construction
Built on a four-wheel drive chassis, the tractor features outboard planetary final drives to handle high torque loads. Steering is managed via a hydrostatic power system, providing necessary control for a machine with a 141.5-inch wheelbase and a shipping weight of 28,000 lbs. The standard cab includes air-conditioning to ensure operator comfort during extended field operations.
Conclusion
The Steiger 9180 is engineered for demanding agricultural tasks that require high traction and significant pulling power. Its robust engine, heavy-duty drivetrain, and substantial hydraulic capacity make it a suitable choice for large-acreage farming and intensive soil preparation.
