THE WORLD RECORD HOLDER

This Series from Case IH combines the tradition of the legendary
STEIGER tractors with the requirements of the 21st century.
No compromise large acreage technology for maximum productivity as proven in the industrys highest accolade: the 24 hour ploughing
World Record.
More choice in the top power class. STEIGER and QUADTRAC tractors are tuned for
maximum performance and offer total ease of operation and cab comfort. This Series
offers large agricultural operations more choice than ever in the power class from
394hp(CV) / 290kW to 548 hp(CV) / 403kW: four models that differ not only in their
horsepower, but also in their technical conception, in three variants, making it possible
for every enterprise to decide which model best meets its requirements.
Based on the experience of 50 years of Steiger production at the Case IH facility in Fargo,
North Dakota, the tradition of STEIGER tractors continues with two series.
STEIGER the legendary articulated tractor. Four equally sized large wheels, four wheel
drive and a long wheelbase transfer all the power to the ground.
QUADTRAC - the flagship has four independently suspended crawler tracks and a 3.91m
wheelbase. Optimum traction and ground adjustment at all times with minimum ground
pressure make this the tractor for the heaviest ground conditions.

CAB AND CONTROLS

Unmatched comfort and convenience.
Case IH equip the STEIGER and QUADTRAC tractors with the stunning
Surveyor cab. From the expansive curved glass and forward sloping
hood to the comfortable Optima seat and ergonomic armrest controls,
the Surveyor cab creates the ultimate operator environment.
A one-piece curved front windshield, ultra-narrow hood and slender steering column contribute to an exceptional view. The back
window has the same panoramic outlook to let you hook-up and watch the widest implements. Instrumentation in the right-hand Apost is perfectly positioned at eye level to keep you informed. Monitor basic operating systems and track critical functions with the
advanced Performance monitor. The right-hand armrest control console can be fully adjusted to fit your chosen position. Intuitive
placement of controls reduces operator effort. The entire console moves with the air-suspension Optima seat, so you can find the
perfect position for the job. The new Surveyor cab has an estimated 75dB(A) sound level. For excellent night vision, the cab comes with
a standard lighting package that is much more than standard. With 55-watt lamps lighting the way, youll quickly see the difference
on your first night-shift. For those who like to run just as long after the sun goes down, a highintensity discharge (HID) light for the
centre of the grille is available.

Appreciate the panoramic productivity.

When youre driving a big tractor with big

implements, you need a big cab with big
visibility to the front, sides and rear.
Thats exactly what you get from the
stunning Surveyor cab.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

Ready to run reliably.
At the heart of every STEIGER and QUADTRAC tractor
is an engine designed to deliver maximum horsepower
with enhanced efficiency.
Electronically controlled engines in the STEIGER and QUADTRAC tractors ensure peak power growth without burning unnecessary fuel
for lower costs. Torque rise of up to 40 percent lets you get through tough spots without downshifting. Drawbar pull holds steady even
as conditions change in the field and torque peaks with 2563Nm at 1400rpm. When engine rpm drops under rated load, the engine
provides additional power to give you up to 54 more horsepower. With that kind of power growth, you have the boost you need to lug
through low spots and other difficult terrain. Perfect power transfer. The most important factor in a powershift is not the total number
of gears you have to choose from, but how many are in the primary working range. Thats where the 16-speed Full Powershift really
stands out with nine gears between 5 and 13kph. Depending on tyre size, this gives you 0.8kph speed splits in the working range - and
a better chance at finding the perfect speed for any job. The AutoSkip shift feature for the STEIGER and QUADTRAC tractors skips
automatically every other gear between 4 and 13 to help you get up to speed for faster transport. Pressing the Select Shift button on

HYDRAULICS, PTO AND DRIVELINE

High capacity means higher
productivity.
To make the most of a new Series four-wheel drive,
specify high-capacity hydraulics, heavy-duty hitch and
powerful PTO. When you need to lift, lower, and power
implements, these systems help you do more work.
High performance hydraulics. The hydraulic system of a STEIGER and QUADTRAC tractor provides power for steering, remotes, power
beyond, and the three-point hitch. A standard 151lpm (159lpm on QUADTRAC 535) pump relies on an efficient pressure-flowcompensating (PFC) system that delivers the correct flow and pressure where its needed when its needed. Specify the 208lpm (216lpm
QUADTRAC 535) high-capacity pump for intensive hydraulic operations such as air seeders and beet lifters.
Huge lifting capacity, excellent response. To operate mounted tillage tools, planters or drills, equip this tractor with a factory-installed
threepoint hitch (not available on scraper versions). Youll instantly have a lift capacity of up to 8949kg on QUADTRAC models. The
raise/lower switch and position control are within your natural reach on the armrest console.
True pulling power. STEIGER and QUADTRAC tractors have
the advantage where it really mattersat the drawbar. Thats
the common denominator used to size tillage tools to the
tractor. The centre-pull drawbar design efficiently transfers
engine horsepower into pulling power. Unlike competitive
units with drawbars mounted much farther behind the
articulation joint, the drawbar of this tractor is just 250mm
from the pivot point for maximum power transfer and
increased frame strength.

 Conventional articulated steering gives the QUADTRAC

Series full-power turns within 5.7m with minimal ridging.
Easy-effort steering in all conditions allows you to do more
work in less time, without levelling ridges left on
headlands.

TRACTION
Maximum traction with
minimum compaction.
Case IH engineers first introduced the QUADTRAC
design in 1996 and it has led the industry ever since.
Like its predecessors, the QUADTRAC tractor continues
the tradition of setting new industry standards.
The QUADTRAC 385, 435, 485, 535 in a version with 76 or 91cm tracks practically floats through the fields, giving you a smooth ride
with less soil compaction. That can result in better seed placement, a healthier root zone, uniform germination and higher yields.

 The proven track design of a Case IH

QUADTRAC tractor features positive

drive, self-adjusting tension and selfcleaning rubber belts.

As weight transfer is the key to putting power on the ground, the QUADTRAC tractor maintains an ideal 50/50 weight distribution under full
draft loads. Unlike a two-track system, which shifts weight from the front to the rear of the track, the QUADTRAC design evenly divides
the weight under load to an almost identical PSI load at the front and rear of the track. Two-track systems transfer more weight to the rear,
which decreases traction in the front and increases compaction at the rear. Another advantage of the QUADTRAC design is the positive
drive system. Lugs engage with bars on the drive wheel to eliminate internal slippage and help ensure minimal ground slippage.
A QUADTRAC tractor offers full-power turns under load, unlike two-track systems that
vary power to each track during turns. This makes it more efficient in contour and hillside
operations because no additional power is required to turn. Thanks to its built-in weight,
a STEIGER or QUADTRAC tractor offers an advantage over competitive four-wheel drives.
Greater gross vehicle weight reduces the amount of additional ballast needed for peak
performance and pulling power. When necessary, weight can be added to the front or
back by attaching cast brackets to the tractor frame. With the correct ballast, right tyres
and recommended PSI, a Series STEIGER tractor will respond with more pulling power,
a smoother ride, and maximum fuel efficiency.

 The QUADTRAC tractor is built to pivot

and oscillate for constant track-to-soil
contact over rolling terrain.

SCRAPER APPLICATIONS
Built to work in the dirt.
Steiger scraper configurations designed with added durability to
handle demands of earthmoving applications.
A Case IH Steiger 4WD tractor is just as at-home on a land-leveling site or commercial scraper crew as it is in the farm fields. Special scraper versions of the Steiger 385,
435, 485, and 535 tractors have heavy scraper axles, heavy-duty drawbars, built-in frame weight and powerful engines with rugged transmissions. Also standard on all
scraper models are differential locks, backup alarm, tow cable, and beacon lights. For safety on the farm and on the construction jobsite, these tractors are ROPS and
FOPS certified. A special scraper quick-hitch drawbar with tow cable works well with most popular scraper brands. All this adds up to speedy hauling cycles to help you
move more dirt in a day, boosting your business productivity and profitability.

 The scraper tractor configurations

rugged chassis has the durability

needed for heavy loads, and responsive
hydraulics for the cycle times you
demand.

 For cutting to grade precisely and

automatically, the electronic hydraulic

system of a Steiger tractor interfaces
with popular laser-control systems,
eliminating the need for expensive addon valves.
