Introduction
Steiger Lion 1000: Heavy-Duty 4WD Tractor
The Steiger Lion 1000 is a high-horsepower four-wheel drive tractor manufactured in Fargo, North Dakota, during the mid-1980s. Designed for large-scale agricultural operations, this machine focuses on high tractive effort and versatility for demanding field applications.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Caterpillar 3406 DITA turbocharged diesel engine. This 14.6-liter, 6-cylinder liquid-cooled unit produces 375 hp (279.6 kW) at a rated speed of 2100 RPM. It delivers a maximum torque of 1266 lb-ft (1716.7 Nm) at 1400 RPM, providing the necessary pulling power for heavy implements.
Transmission and Drive
The drivetrain features a full power shift transmission offering 12 forward gears and 2 reverse gears, allowing for on-the-fly shifting without manual clutching. Power is transferred to all four wheels through outboard planetary final drives, supported by a hydraulic wet disc clutch system.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system utilizes a closed-center, load-sensing, pressure-compensating design. It provides a pump flow of 40 gpm (151.4 lpm) at 2500 psi (172.4 bar), supporting 3 or 4 remote valves. A Category IV rear hitch is available for heavy-duty implement attachment.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
The unit features a wheelbase of 141.5 inches and an overall length of 281 inches. It is equipped with a factory-standard cab including air-conditioning to ensure operator comfort. The tractor has a shipping weight of 29,000 lbs, with a maximum operating weight capacity of 40,000 lbs.
Conclusion
The Steiger Lion 1000 is a robust, high-capacity tractor engineered for heavy tillage and large-acreage farming. Its combination of a high-torque Caterpillar engine, full power shift transmission, and substantial hydraulic output makes it a reliable asset for intensive agricultural tasks.
