Case IH Steiger – Large Articulated Tractor With Quadtrac Option
The Steiger series traces back to the US manufacturer Steiger Tractor, founded in 1957 and acquired by Case IH in 1986; the register lists models from 2001 to 2019. Output ranges from 260 to 450 kW, with models rated in horsepower spanning 350 to 600 hp, using six-cylinder engines.

Besides the classic articulated wheeled version, Case IH also offers the Steiger series as the Quadtrac, with four independent rubber-tracked undercarriages, identifiable from the corresponding model designations in the register. PTO output of one recorded model is 379 hp, and lift capacity reaches up to 8,948 kg.
Within the Case IH range, the Steiger sits as the largest tractor class for operations with very high draft requirements, such as large-scale tillage in North America and Eastern Europe. For a used model, distinguishing the wheeled version from the Quadtrac matters, as maintenance demands and intended use differ considerably.
