ENGINE DETAIL
The Steiger Panther KP-1325, powered by a robust Cummins NTA 855 turbocharged diesel engine with a displacement of 14.0L, delivers substantial power output of 325hp at 2100 RPM. Its dual dry air cleaner enhances engine efficiency and longevity, while the 14.1:1 compression ratio optimizes fuel combustion for improved torque and performance. However, the heavier weight and size may limit maneuverability in tighter spaces, making it best suited for large-scale agricultural applications and heavy-duty towing scenarios.
