ENGINE DETAIL
The CaseIH Steiger 580 features a powerful FPT 12.9L diesel engine with a two-stage turbocharger, delivering a maximum power output of 638 hp at 2100 RPM, which enhances its performance in heavy-duty agricultural applications. Its Tier 4 emissions compliance, coupled with selective catalytic reduction (SCR), ensures reduced environmental impact while maintaining efficiency. However, the complex cooling system with a hydraulically-driven fan may necessitate more maintenance and could introduce potential downtime if components fail.

CASEIH STEIGER 580 ENGINE
The CaseIH Steiger 580 features a robust FPT 12.9L 6-cylinder diesel engine, providing substantial power for demanding agricultural tasks. Its large 455-gallon fuel tank enables extended operation without frequent refueling, making it ideal for long fieldwork periods. However, the significant DEF tank capacity of 66 gallons indicates a potential maintenance consideration, as operators must monitor and refill DEF to meet emission standards and ensure optimal engine performance.
