ENGINE DETAIL
The Steiger Bearcat IV CM-225 features a robust Caterpillar 3306DIT engine, delivering 225 hp at 2100 RPM, with peak torque of 730 lb-ft available at 1300 RPM, making it suitable for demanding agricultural tasks requiring high pulling power. Its large displacement of 10.5L allows for efficient fuel combustion and enhanced performance during heavy-duty operations, while the 12-volt starter system simplifies starting in cold conditions. Challenges may include weight management due to the significant oil and coolant capacities (29 qts and 52 qts, respectively), which can affect mobility in certain terrains.

TRACTOR HITCH
STEIGER BEARCAT IV CM-225 TIRES
The Steiger Bearcat IV CM-225 tractor features an agricultural front tire size of 23.1x34, paired with versatile rear tire options, allowing for adaptability to various field conditions and crop types. The larger rear tire sizes (up to 30.5x32) may provide improved traction and flotation in soft soil, while narrower options aid in maneuverability in tighter spaces. However, tire selection will directly affect the tractor's weight distribution and soil compaction, necessitating careful consideration based on specific operational scenarios.
