Overview

The Steiger Panther III PTA-297 is a robust four-wheel drive, articulated tractor well suited for heavy-duty farming applications. It boasts a significant power output with its turbocharged diesel Cummins VT-903 engine, capable of delivering 295 horsepower with a displacement of 903 cubic inches. The tractor is equipped with an 8-speed power shift transmission with a torque converter, facilitating smooth shifting and efficient power transfer across a range of working conditions. With a large operating weight of 28,975 pounds and a wheelbase measuring 132.5 inches, the Panther III PTA-297 provides a stable and strong platform for a variety of tasks.
