I bought the first 325 Stieger Panther that came into the State of Michigan. The engine was a 3406 Cat and was as good the day that I sold it as it was when new. That is where its good points end. The air conditioner was at it's best just a trifle bit better than nothing at all. Dry clutch meant very short lived behind a 325 horse farm tractor. Banded duals, when you could keep them tight, with about three inches spaced between them meant that the least bit sticky spot they loaded up and stayed that way till you were on your way home and they would unload several hundred pounds of dirt on the road. Planetary gears in the outboard hubs would heat up after about an hour of use on a hot day to the point you could fry eggs on them. This they had a remedy for as they would change them out from the three planetary gears that rotate around the sun gear to the five gear arrangement for about four thousand dollars a corner. The hydraulic system was so maxed out that if the chisel plow had new teeth on it you had to stop to raise it at the end of the field. The suck of new teeth would overcome the hydraulic system but after you used it for a couple of days they would wear off enough so you could raise it on the go. The next closest thing that comes to mind that I was glad to see go down the road was the last load of dairy cows.

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945.
