ENGINE DETAIL
The Steiger Panther III PT-350, powered by a robust Cummins VT903 turbocharged V-8, generates 350 hp, providing strong torque for demanding applications, such as heavy tillage or pulling large implements. Its 14.8L displacement and high compression ratio of 15.5:1 optimize fuel efficiency and performance under load, although maintenance of the turbocharger and cooling systems can be critical due to the increased thermal stress. Note the significant oil and coolant capacities (38 qts and 60 qts, respectively), which suggest prolonged intervals between servicing but necessitate careful management to prevent overheating in prolonged operations.
