Introduction
Steiger Turbo Tiger II ST-320 Four-Wheel Drive Tractor
The Steiger Turbo Tiger II ST-320 is a high-horsepower four-wheel drive tractor produced between 1974 and 1976. Manufactured in Fargo, North Dakota, this machine was engineered for heavy-duty agricultural operations, serving as a key model in the Steiger product lineup during the mid-1970s.
Engine and Powertrain
The tractor is powered by a Cummins VT-903, a liquid-cooled V-8 turbocharged diesel engine with a displacement of 14.8 liters (903 cubic inches). It generates 320 horsepower at a rated engine speed of 2600 RPM. The engine delivers 780 lb-ft (1057.7 Nm) of torque at 1800 RPM, providing the necessary pulling force for demanding field tasks. Power is delivered through a Dana-Spicer ST-1010 transmission, which provides 10 forward and 2 reverse gears.
Hydraulics and Chassis
The Turbo Tiger II ST-320 features an open-center hydraulic system with a total flow capacity of 43 gpm (162.8 lpm). Steering is managed via an articulated power steering system, which is essential for maneuvering this 10,886 kg (24,000 lbs) tractor. Braking is handled by hydraulic disc brakes. The machine utilizes outboard planetary final drives to manage the torque output to the wheels.
Operator Environment and Dimensions
The tractor is equipped with a standard cab that offered optional heating and air-conditioning systems to improve operator comfort during long work intervals. It has a wheelbase of 308 cm (121.5 inches) and an overall length of 619 cm (244 inches). The width is 243 cm (96 inches) when fitted with standard 23.1-30 agricultural tires.
Conclusion
With its robust Cummins engine, articulated four-wheel drive configuration, and substantial weight, the Steiger Turbo Tiger II ST-320 is designed for large-scale primary tillage and heavy draft applications. It remains a notable example of mid-1970s agricultural engineering focused on high-output performance.
