Introduction
Steiger Panther KP-1325: Heavy-Duty Articulated Tractor
The Steiger Panther KP-1325 is a high-horsepower four-wheel drive tractor produced between 1982 and 1985. Built in Fargo, North Dakota, this machine was designed for large-scale agricultural operations requiring significant traction and power.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Cummins NTA 855 turbocharged diesel engine. This 14.0-liter, 6-cylinder liquid-cooled unit delivers 325 horsepower at a rated speed of 2100 RPM. The engine features a 14.1:1 compression ratio and utilizes a dual dry element air cleaner to maintain performance in demanding field conditions.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Power is transferred through a full power shift transmission providing 12 forward and 2 reverse gears. Operation is managed via electro-hydraulic wet disc clutches, allowing for smooth gear changes under load. The drivetrain utilizes articulated power steering and outboard planetary final drives to manage the tractor's 16,012 kg operating weight.
Hydraulics and Implements
The hydraulic system features a closed-center design equipped with three valves to operate a variety of heavy implements. The rear of the tractor is fitted with a category III/IV hitch and an independent 1000 RPM rear PTO, providing the versatility required for intensive agricultural tasks.
Dimensions and Comfort
With a wheelbase of 359 cm, the Panther KP-1325 is designed for stability. It rides on 23.1-34 tires on both the front and rear axles. The operator station consists of a standard cab featuring integrated air conditioning to provide a consistent working environment during long field shifts.
Conclusion
