Introduction

Steiger Panther IV SM-325: Heavy-Duty Articulated Tractor

The Steiger Panther IV SM-325 is a high-horsepower four-wheel drive tractor produced between 1984 and 1985 in Fargo, North Dakota. Designed for large-scale agricultural operations, this model represents the heavy-duty engineering characteristic of the Steiger line during the mid-1980s.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a Komatsu 6-cylinder, intercooled turbocharged diesel engine with a displacement of 11.0 liters (674 ci). It produces 325 horsepower at a rated engine speed of 2100 RPM. The engine is liquid-cooled and utilizes a 12-volt starter system, providing the necessary torque for demanding field tasks such as heavy tillage and pulling wide implements.

Transmission and Drivetrain

Power is transferred to the ground through a Spicer SST 1010 constant mesh transmission. The system incorporates a 2-speed transfer case, providing a total of 20 forward and 4 reverse gears. This wide range of gear ratios allows the operator to match ground speed precisely to specific field conditions and implement requirements.

Hydraulics and Chassis

The vehicle features an open center hydraulic system equipped with 3 or 4 valves to operate external hydraulic equipment. Maneuverability is facilitated by an articulated power steering system, which is essential for managing the unit's 129-inch (327 cm) wheelbase. Braking is handled by hydraulic disc brakes, ensuring controlled stopping power for a machine weighing approximately 29,000 lbs (13,154 kg).

Dimensions and Tires

The Panther IV SM-325 is designed with a wide footprint for stability and traction, utilizing 23.1-34 agricultural tires on both the front and rear axles. The front and rear tread widths are adjustable, ranging from 79 to 136.3 inches (200 to 346 cm), allowing for configuration adjustments based on row spacing or specific field stability needs.

Conclusion

"With its robust Komatsu engine, articulated frame, and substantial weight, the Steiger Panther IV SM-325 is engineered for high-draft applications. Its standard cab configuration and reliable mechanical drivetrain make it a practical choice for large-acreage farming operations requiring significant pulling power."
