Steiger Panther KP-1360

Last Updated: July 2024

Overview

The Steiger Panther KP-1360 is a robust, articulated 4-wheel drive tractor known for its significant power and flexibility in heavy-duty agricultural tasks. With a powerful Cummins NTA 855 turbocharged diesel engine, it offers 331.32 hp at 2100 rpm, capable of handling large-scale workloads. The liquid-cooled 6-cylinder engine produces a maximum torque of 1128 lb.-ft. (1530 Nm) at 1400 rpm and has a torque rise of 37.3% with a 9.9% power increase at 2100 rpm. It is paired with a 12-speed full power shift transmission providing 12 forward and 2 reverse gears, accommodating a variety of operations. This model features articulated power steering, an electro-hydraulic wet disc clutch, and comes with a hefty operating weight of 35,500 lbs, enabling it to exert considerable force in fieldwork. The tractor's drive system is designed for challenging terrain, with a closed center hydraulic system that enhances its efficiency in performing various agricultural duties, such as plowing, tilling and harvesting. Additional performance metrics include a maximum force exerted of 12450 lbs (55.37 kN) at hitch points, a pump delivery rate of 19.2 GPM (72.8 l/min) at minimum pressure and rated engine speed, and a hydraulic power of 36.0 HP (26.8 kW) at a delivery pressure of 2740 psi (189 bar). The fuel efficiency at standard PTO speed (1000 rpm) is 16.80 Hp.hr/gal (3.31 kW.h/l), with a fuel consumption of 19.01 Gal/hr (71.95 l/h) at 2110 rpm.
