STEIGER 1250 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Steiger 1250 tractor, powered by a Detroit Diesel 4-53N engine, delivers 130 hp at a rated RPM of 2300, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications with efficient power transmission. The dry-type Donaclone air cleaner enhances engine longevity by effectively filtering particulate matter, although it may require more frequent maintenance compared to oil-bath types. Ideal for farming and industrial tasks, this tractor's four-cylinder configuration offers a balance of fuel efficiency and sufficient torque for challenging terrains.

STEIGER 1250 ENGINE
The Steiger 1250 is powered by a Detroit Diesel 4-cylinder engine, known for its durability and efficiency, making it suitable for heavy-duty agricultural applications. With a substantial 90-gallon fuel tank, it offers extended operation time, ideal for large fields or extended tasks without frequent refueling. However, the 4-cylinder configuration may limit torque output at very low RPMs compared to larger multicylinder engines, potentially affecting performance in extreme conditions or heavy loads.

TRANSMISSION
The Steiger 1250 tractor features a 12-speed forward transmission, allowing for precise control over power delivery and speed adjustments, which is beneficial for varying field conditions. The multi-speed gearing facilitates efficient performance in tasks like tilling and heavy hauling. However, operators may face a learning curve to optimize gear selection for different agricultural applications.
MECHANICAL
The Steiger 1250 features a robust 4x4 4WD chassis, enhancing traction and stability across various terrains, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications. Its 12-speed transmission allows for precise speed control, optimizing performance for tasks such as plowing and towing. An optional cab offers operator comfort; however, this may add weight and affect maneuverability in tight spaces.

STEIGER 1250 TIRES
The Steiger 1250 tractor is equipped with 18.4x26 agricultural tires on both the front and rear, providing a balanced footprint for traction and stability in the field. This tire size is ideal for moderate to heavy-duty applications, allowing for effective weight distribution and improved maneuverability in various soil conditions. However, operators should consider potential challenges in tight turns due to the larger tire size, which may require careful navigation in confined spaces.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Steiger 1250 tractor features a 108-inch wheelbase, which provides stability during heavy tillage operations but may limit maneuverability in tight spaces. Weighing 13,800 lbs (6259 kg), its substantial mass enhances traction, especially in challenging terrains, though it may cause soil compaction. The use of 16.9x26 tires front and rear offers a balanced footprint for effective weight distribution, ideal for large-scale farming scenarios, yet may require careful management of tire pressure to optimize performance and minimize field damage.
