New Steiger Quadtrac Series Tractors

Case New Holland Corporation has released a new line of Quadtrac Tractors with increased performance and efficiency along with more operator comfort.  The first thing to point out about the new line of Quadtrac tractors is the use of the new 12.9 liter FPT Powertrain Technologies Tier 4A engine. 

The new Tier 4A engine meets the emission regulations of 2014 which gives owner’s comfort in knowing that the engine in their tractors will be the same for years to come.  The Tier 4A model of the 12.9 liter FPT Powertrain Technologies engine incorporates the fuel saving Case IH SCR Technology with a Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) tank producing a ten percent decrease in operating cost.  The higher horsepower Steiger 550 and 600 engines use a two-stage turbocharger to give the operator responsiveness at low rpms and peak power at high rpms.  The new engines also offer a ten percent power growth when it is needed in difficult working conditions giving the operator the necessary power to get the job done on time.

The new line of Quadtrac tractors have also been equipped with a sixteen speed full powershift transmission giving the operator a smooth transition from gear to gear even while pulling a load in working conditions.  The new transmissions are set up with larger gears and clutch packs to transfer the increased power to the ground with long term durability.  The transmissions are completed with axles capable of carrying 66,000 pound operating loads.  These transmissions are capable of carrying more weight than any tractor on the market today giving operators and owners the capabilities to pull large equipment to cover more acres per day.  The Quadtrac uses a flange-type axle to be able to generate the torque required for the unbeatable traction produced by the revolutionary four-track design.

The four independent tracks offer the best traction a least amount of slippage on the market.  This design also distributes weight better for reduced compaction while pulling heavy equipment. The new track system uses a lug drive system that provides continuous drive force in all conditions while limiting friction, heat and wear for increased durability.

The new Quadtrac tractors have incorporated a suspended cab to stabilize the cab in all directions and reduce vibration and deliver a smoother consistent ride in rough conditions.  Along with the new suspended cabs Case IH has also incorporated a multi-control armrest bringing all the controls of the tractor to the operator’s fingertips.  Combine this with the forty degree right swivel seat to give the operator a better view of implements without straining their neck to look behind the tractor and Case IH has maximized operator comfort and performance.

The new Quadtrac tractors have raised the bar for performance and efficiency in high horsepower tractors on the market.  These tractors also provide the operator with increased comfort to work long hours in a comfortable environment.  Case IH continues to produce efficient powerful tractors that provide owners with a low cost option to handle large farming operations.  Look for the new Quadtrac tractors to be at the front of the high horsepower tractor industry in the future.
