Why is the 1/16 Steiger Panther so sought after? Let's take a look.

[@calebyron6535]

I wish they would come out with the green ones again. I have the wild about Steiger and the industrial yellow one. They clearly still have the mold for it and the Steigers sell because they have been coming out with a 1/16 scale for the last three or more years now. Don’t get me wrong I like the black and yellow one that I have but that Steiger green is just eye catching and iconic.

I got the cougar one of that when I was really little still have. Lots of play with that one. We have a real panther like that one on our farm. If anyone’s interested I recently started my own channel.

Can you do a video on a John Deere 8650 or 8630 custom

[@SouthernFarmingTV]

I have one

[@HalFastIndustries]

now imagine if one came on Amazon...

[@jicaseman928]

I love stiegers as well but you have to admit ji case does not get the recognition they deserve in the toy world

[@framfull]

Had the full size Panther, now I cant find one like this🤡

POV: 9 months later Girard sells one for $900

[@FortheLoveofTractors]

It's insanity out there in the auction world right now.

[@LowEndPCGamer100]

may main problem with these modern ertl models, is that they dont have the thru axles like the older ones do, not to mention that you cant find a KP/CP series panther anywhere first hand anymore, not worth it in my opinion. maybe im just nostalgic of classic ertl but my point stands.

[@RJ1999x]

Steiger never had through axles, other then the one model built on an Allis Chalmers 4W chassis

[@LowEndPCGamer100]

@@RJ1999x there were a ton of steigers in 1/16th scale with thru axels, such as the ever so common cp1400 with the triples, it may have been custom but there were a ton around, and many many ertl steigers had thru axels as well. jus ta preference i never grew out of, i think it adds a little charm to the model, so i hold no value in a model that has glue axels.

[@RJ1999x]

@@LowEndPCGamer100 you are talking toys I'm talking real tractors, they all had planetary on the outside and band duals, with the exception of the 1000 series Cougar I believe, it had a PTO and 3 PT and row crop axles, and the chassis was bought from Allis Chalmers. No real life series 3 had an axle

[@jamesbarbour8400]

@@RJ1999x Steiger made the AC 440 for Allis Chalmers in the early 70s, and Steiger built all their own chassis - they did not buy them form an external source. This particular model is of an automatic, narrow frame Steiger, hence the designation ' PTA' on the bonnet. This tractor is what Fords FW series artics was based on. It also sports the correct Steiger S34 three planetary outboard reduction units on the axles. Steiger also manufactured tractors for IH, again back in the early 1970s. Differences required by IH were use of its own axles and engines (V8 - 550), not sure about the transmission though - would have to consult the relevant literature which I don't yet have. Also the bonnet styling was altered to reflect the then current design of IHs own two wheel drive tractor line. Some say that because of the use of IHs own componentry, that the tractors were weak in those aspects, the V8 engine in particular, proving to be troublesome, if revved too high, which it generally was, as that's the only way to get a decent performance from a V8 - they're not known for their torque reserve further down the power band. Pretty much every other tractor that Steiger made for other competitors, were as standard spec, unlike the IHs, the only differences being the paint scheme and model number identifiers specific to those badge engineered tractors. How can a tractor have no axles - not much good without them.....

[@RJ1999x]

@@jamesbarbour8400 you are completely wrong. Steiger bought the drive train for the 1000 series row crop with PTO from Allis Chalmers. Was the same drive line used on the 4W305. The automatic was in the PTA models only. You are reading internet knowledge , I'm talking in reality. Every tractor has axles, Green Steigers only used outboard planetary axles and band dual, the row crop tractors needed a gap, so it has to have inboard planetary and a bar axle with the wheel clamped on. This is based on actual reality, as I own them and use them in real life, not farm simulator .

[@tctoytractors9325]

What's sad is this tractor is selling for $600 now

[@jackkonnof4106]

Yep i saved mine for scrap price. I hope to restore it one day. Till then it gives my neighbors something to complain about.
