Introduction
Steiger Cougar KR-1225: Four-Wheel Drive Agricultural Tractor
The Steiger Cougar KR-1225 is a four-wheel-drive agricultural tractor manufactured in 1985 in Fargo, North Dakota, USA. Designed for heavy-duty field operations, this model represents the high-capacity engineering typical of Steiger's articulated tractor line during the mid-1980s.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Cummins LT-10-A 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. With a displacement of 10.0 liters, it delivers a rated power of 225 hp (167.8 kW) at 2100 RPM. The engine utilizes a liquid-cooling system and is equipped with an electric starter for reliable operation.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The drivetrain features an articulated steering system and a two-speed power shift transmission. This configuration provides 20 forward and 4 reverse gears, organized into five gears across two ranges, allowing for precise speed adjustments tailored to various agricultural implements.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is a closed-center load-sensing type, providing a pump flow of 30 gpm (113.6 lpm) through three valves. The tractor is equipped with an independent rear power take-off (PTO) operating at 1000 RPM at the engine's rated speed of 2100 RPM, facilitating the use of high-demand power-driven machinery.
Dimensions and Chassis
Weighing approximately 24,800 lbs (11,249 kg), the Cougar KR-1225 is built for substantial traction. It rides on 18.4-38 tires on both the front and rear axles. The chassis supports a standard cab environment for the operator and utilizes hydraulic disc brakes for stopping power.
Conclusion
The Steiger Cougar KR-1225 is engineered for large-scale farming applications requiring significant horsepower and high torque. Its combination of a robust Cummins engine, articulated steering, and advanced hydraulic flow makes it a durable solution for heavy-duty traction and implement operation.
