Introduction
Steiger Panther IV CS-360: High-Capacity Four-Wheel Drive Tractor
Produced by Steiger in Fargo, North Dakota, between 1984 and 1985, the Panther IV CS-360 is a heavy-duty four-wheel drive tractor engineered for large-scale agricultural operations. This machine represents the high-horsepower segment of the mid-1980s tractor market.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Caterpillar 3406 DITA, a 14.6-liter, 6-cylinder liquid-cooled turbocharged aftercooled diesel engine. It delivers 360 horsepower at a rated 2100 RPM. The engine is characterized by a high torque output of 1145 lb-ft, which peaks at 1200 RPM, providing the necessary lugging ability for heavy draft applications.
Transmission and Drivetrain

The drivetrain features articulated power steering and outboard planetary final drives, ensuring efficient power delivery to all four wheels for improved traction in demanding field conditions.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system utilizes an open-center design with a pump flow capacity of 31.3 gpm (118.5 lpm) and a system pressure of 2250 psi (155.1 bar). The tractor is equipped with 3 to 5 hydraulic valves to manage various implements and features a Category III rear hitch.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
The chassis features a 132.5-inch wheelbase and weighs approximately 27,314 lbs in shipping configuration, with a maximum operating weight of 34,000 lbs. The operator station consists of a factory-standard cab equipped with air-conditioning to maintain operator productivity during extended duty cycles.
Conclusion
The Steiger Panther IV CS-360 is a robust, high-performance tractor designed for heavy cultivation and large-scale traction requirements.
