Introduction

Steiger Puma 1000: A Heavy-Duty 4WD Tractor

The Steiger Puma 1000 is a four-wheel-drive agricultural tractor produced between 1986 and 1988 in Fargo, North Dakota. Designed for high-traction applications, this machine belongs to the era of large-scale, high-horsepower articulated tractors.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a CDC 6CTA liquid-cooled, six-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. With a displacement of 8.3 liters (505 cubic inches), it produces a gross power output of 190 hp at a rated speed of 2100 RPM. The engine delivers a maximum torque of 618 lb-ft at 1500 RPM, providing the necessary pulling force for heavy field implements.

Transmission and Drivetrain

The Puma 1000 features a full power shift transmission providing 12 forward and 2 reverse gears, allowing for on-the-go shifting without clutch use. Power is transferred to the ground through a four-wheel-drive system with inboard planetary final drives. Steering is managed via a hydrostatic power system adapted for the articulated chassis.

Hydraulics and PTO

The hydraulic system utilizes a closed-center design with a pump flow capacity of 27 gpm (102.2 lpm) at a pressure of 2500 psi. It supports two to four valves to accommodate various hydraulic attachments. An optional independent rear PTO is available, operating at 1000 RPM with a 1.75-inch shaft.

Operator Environment and Dimensions

The tractor is equipped with a standard cab featuring air conditioning to ensure operator comfort during extended work cycles. The machine rests on a 120.38-inch wheelbase and has a shipping weight of 17,000 lbs, with a maximum operating weight capacity of 24,000 lbs. It is supported by hydraulic disc brakes for reliable stopping performance.

Conclusion

"The Steiger Puma 1000 is engineered for demanding heavy-duty agricultural operations, offering a balance of high-torque engine performance and robust chassis construction suitable for large-acreage farming."
