ENGINES OVERVIEW
The Steiger Cougar 1000 is equipped with either a Caterpillar 10.5L or a Cummins 10.0L 6-cylinder diesel engine, offering robust power outputs suitable for heavy-duty applications. One significant advantage is its high torque ratings, conducive for plowing and tilling in challenging agricultural terrains. However, potential challenges include higher fuel consumption and maintenance costs associated with larger displacement engines, especially under continuous heavy load scenarios.

ENGINE DETAIL 1
The Steiger Cougar 1000 tractor features a robust Caterpillar 3306B DITA engine, providing a substantial 280 hp and peak torque of 910 lb-ft at 1300 RPM, conducive for heavy-duty applications. Key advantages include its substantial displacement (10.5L) and efficient dry air cleaner with centrifugal precleaner, enhancing durability in dusty conditions. However, the relatively high coolant capacity (60 quarts) may imply increased maintenance complexity; thus, continuous monitoring of coolant levels is essential for optimal performance in prolonged use scenarios.
