ENGINE DETAIL
The Steiger Bearcat IV KM-225 tractor features a robust Cummins LT-10-A turbocharged diesel engine with a displacement of 10.0L, providing significant power output of 225hp at 2100 RPM and impressive torque of 732 lb-ft at 1300 RPM. The engine's broad operational RPM range (1700-2100 RPM) allows for versatile performance in various agricultural applications, although it may require careful management to avoid over-revving. Notably, the substantial oil and coolant capacities (36 qts and 64 qts, respectively) enhance thermal stability and reduce maintenance frequency, making it suitable for extended operational hours in demanding conditions.
