Case IH says farmers don t need to sacrifice productivity to meet new emissions regulations. The proof, the company says, is in its six models, the Steiger 350, 400, 450, 500, 550 and 600 at corresponding hp. The Steiger 350, 400 and 450 maintain the heavier steel frame of the larger Steiger tractors, but are built narrower frame for row-crop tractors. Available on the Steiger 450, 500, 550 and 600 hp, the Steiger Quadtrac has four individually driven oscillating tracks that reduce compaction and provide better flotation and traction in the field.
The largest Steiger tractors are powered by a 12.9-litre FPT Powertrain Technology engine. It is Tier 4A compliant with fuel-saving Case IH SCR technology for 10 per cent lower operating costs than previous models. The Steiger 550 and 600 models use a two-stage turbocharger that offers low-r. p.m. responsiveness and superior boost at high revs. Inside the industry s first suspended cab is the MultiControl Armrest, which offers simple comfortable controls.

Case IH says the Steiger Quadtrac models give optimal ground pressure, superior flotation and better traction. It reduces compaction with all four tracks remaining on the ground and with equal torque transferred during turning. With the Steiger Quadtrac positive drive, it adjusts automatically under transport or light loads.
