Introduction
Steiger Panther IV KM-360: Heavy-Duty Articulated Tractor
The Steiger Panther IV KM-360 is a high-horsepower four-wheel drive tractor produced between 1983 and 1985 in Fargo, North Dakota, USA. Designed for large-scale agricultural operations, this machine focuses on high-torque output and structural durability for demanding traction tasks.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 14.0-liter Cummins NTA-855-A engine. This 6-cylinder, liquid-cooled, turbocharged, and aftercooled diesel unit produces a rated output of 360 horsepower. It generates 1,200 lb-ft of torque at 1,400 RPM, providing the necessary force for heavy tillage and large-scale implement operations. The operating range is set between 1,700 and 2,100 RPM.
Drivetrain and Maneuverability
Power is transmitted via a Spicer SST 1010 constant-mesh 10-speed transmission coupled with a 2-speed transfer case, offering a total of 20 forward and 4 reverse gears. The tractor utilizes an articulated steering system to manage its large frame, supported by hydraulic disc brakes. This configuration is engineered for high-traction applications where precise steering of a heavy chassis is required.
Hydraulics and Operator Environment
The hydraulic system features an open-center design with a pump flow capacity of 28.6 gpm at 2,250 psi pressure, supporting between 3 and 5 valves for external implement control. The operator is housed in the Steiger Safari Cab, which comes standard with air conditioning to maintain comfort during extended field operations.
Dimensions and Weight
With a wheelbase of 129 inches and a total length of 253.6 inches, the Panther IV KM-360 is built for stability. The shipping weight is 26,653 lbs, with a maximum allowable weight of 34,000 lbs, allowing for significant ballasting to maximize traction during heavy-duty field work.
Conclusion
The Steiger Panther IV KM-360 is a specialized tool for high-acreage farming environments. Its combination of a high-torque Cummins engine and robust articulated drivetrain makes it suited for intensive pulling tasks such as heavy plowing and large-scale cultivation.
