DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Steiger Panther III ST-320 features 20.8-34 tires, which provide a wide surface area for improved traction and stability, particularly in heavy tillage or demanding pull applications. The large tires can be advantageous in soft or uneven terrains, reducing soil compaction and enhancing flotation. However, this tire size may limit maneuverability in tighter spaces and could increase operational costs due to potentially higher soil disruption when turning.
