Introduction
Steiger Panther 1000 Four-Wheel Drive Tractor
The Steiger Panther 1000 is a heavy-duty four-wheel drive tractor produced in 1986. Manufactured in Fargo, North Dakota, USA, it belongs to the Cougar 1000 and Lion 1000 series, designed primarily for large-scale agricultural operations requiring high tractive force.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Caterpillar 3406 DITA turbocharged diesel engine. This 6-cylinder, 14.6-liter unit delivers 335 hp (249.8 kW) at a rated speed of 2100 RPM. It produces a maximum torque of 1131 lb-ft (1533.6 Nm) at 1400 RPM, providing the necessary pulling power for heavy implements.

The machine features four-wheel drive with outboard planetary final drives to manage the high power output and ensure traction in demanding field conditions.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is a closed-center, load-sensing, pressure-compensating type, which improves efficiency by adjusting flow based on demand. It provides a pump flow of 40 gpm (151.4 lpm) at 2500 psi (172.4 bar). The tractor is equipped with 3 to 4 valves and features a Category IV optional rear hitch.
