Steiger 1700

The Steiger 1700 is a powerful and rugged tractor with a 4x4 4WD chassis, suited for heavy-duty agricultural applications. It is driven by a 6-cylinder Detroit Diesel 6V53N engine that delivers 195 horsepower and operates at a rated RPM of 2800. The tractor's manual transmission has 9 forward gears, allowing it to tackle a range of tasks with efficiency. The substantial wheelbase of 126 inches provides stability, while the weight of 18,300 lbs ensures traction in various field conditions. The tractor wears large agricultural tires, 18.4 inches wide and 30 inches in diameter, both front and rear, making it well-suited for work over uneven terrain. Measuring 96 inches in width and 88 inches in height, the Steiger 1700 might present access challenges in more confined spaces or among tightly spaced crop rows. The key distinctive feature of this model, besides its robust engine and transmission, is its reliability and ease of maintenance, exemplified by the use of a Donaclone dry type air cleaner system.
