Case IH Quadtrac – the four-track articulated tractor from Fargo: the number as the hp class, CVX for stepless drive, large Cummins diesels, 270 to 407 kW, 22,750 to 24,960 kg unladen weight
The Quadtrac range is Case IH's four-track large tractor: an articulated machine in which four independently suspended rubber-track units replace the wheels of the classic Steiger design, for better traction and lower ground pressure at very high drawbar power. Case introduced the Quadtrac in 1996, built at the Steiger plant in Fargo, North Dakota; after the merger into Case IH the range continued under the CNH umbrella. The number in the designation – 385, 470, 540, 580, 620 and so on – traditionally states the engine output in hp, the CVX suffix marks the stepless variant. They are powered by large Cummins diesel engines.

The register lists here 14 versions with 270 to 407 kW from engines of around 12,880 to 12,882 cm³ displacement, unladen weights from 22,750 to 24,960 kg, gross weights from 24,500 to 30,000 kg, lengths from 7,613 to 7,800 mm and a width of 2,997 mm.
The Quadtrac is the tractor of large-scale arable farms in North America, eastern Europe, Russia and Australia, where in direct draft of heavy tillage and seeding equipment it competes with wheeled tractors of comparable output; its main argument is even power transfer at lower ground pressure.
On used machines, the condition of the rubber tracks and mid-rollers, the tension of the track units, engine and transmission hours, hydraulics and electronics, and the cab all matter; spare parts and track sets run through CNH and independent agricultural workshops.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
