354-608 hp

Your life is all about growing things — crops, livestock, your business, even your family. For 60 years, Steiger series tractors have helped producers like you get more from the job in demanding conditions — and do it all in comfort. Every year, Case IH is committed to finding new ways to help you maximise your yield potential and return on investment, while at the same time minimising your fuel and fluid consumption, work hours and stress. Everything on a farm makes a difference, and it all needs to work together. And once it works, Steiger looks for how it can work even better.

Superior performance and efficient power forged through relentless innovation

Unmatched 4WD adaptability
From 400 to 600 horsepower, five Steiger models with numerous configurations provide versatility that can be customised for your application and operation.
- Durable, effective and reliable models that include Quadtrac® and Rowtrac four-tracked row crop systems, which are easy to steer and also reduce, or eliminate, berming.
- Choice of transmissions: time-tested and fuel-efficient PowerDrive powershift or the intuitive and easy-to-operate new CVTDrive continuously variable transmission.
Increased productivity
Producer input is the driving force behind every Steiger tractor design enhancement.
- From standard features like exclusive full-cab suspension and superior 360-degree visibility to creature comforts including a 40-degree swivel seat and split-wide electric mirrors, Steiger tractors are designed for comfort and productivity.
- An advanced steering system provides greater control with less input to reduce fatigue and keep producers in the field longer. It acquires the guidance lines 20 percent faster than the previous system, providing smoother steering — more like that of a car.
Get more done with less
The Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory — the ultimate proving grounds — demonstrated exactly what we mean by Steiger Strong: producers get power, performance and productivity that leads to lower total cost of ownership.
- Tests at the Nebraska lab found the complete North American Steiger tractor lineup (370 to 620 horsepower) features best-in-class power, torque and overall fluid efficiency.
- For producers, this means more power to the ground and implements, better fluid efficiency and reduced fluid and labour costs.
Create a better growing environment
The High-Efficiency Farming approach that’s built in to all Steiger tractors and Case IH equipment helps maximise every input and every season.
- Consider how even the smallest improvements — such as exclusive footrest pegs on your tractor or automatic pin drop, for easy single-operator implement hookup — could make a big impact.
- Rethink productivity to improve input precision; the answer could be a smooth-shifting PowerDrive or an efficient CVTDrive to save fuel expenses.

More options built precisely for your operation

Whether you’re pushing silage or pulling the largest implements available, there is a Steiger configuration built for the job. Choose from numerous configurations to find the best fit to increase power, performance and productivity in your operation.

- Four models mean the operator can match tractor power to the scraper system (carry-all or ejector, single or tandem).
- The new Scraper CVT model will quickly adjust to changes in load. Perfect for any scraper operator on the construction site.

High-Performance and efficient engines

Today, there are more than 71,000 Case IH FPT high- horsepower engines with nearly 36 million operating hours at work in North America. In Australia, Tier 2 engines feature common rail fuel systems, offer power, performance and fuel economy with no active exhaust cleaning or AdBlue required. They also deliver more low-end torque to allow the engine to lug down and recover more quickly.

Case IH FPT 12.9-Litre engine
The Steiger 400, 450 and 500 feature a single-stage turbocharger with a common rail fuel system. The Steiger 550 and 600 models feature a two-stage turbocharger system with separate cooling systems for each turbocharger. This delivers 30 percent faster response under load.
- A factory-installed engine-braking option is available on all 12.9-litre engine models.
The Steiger cared by Case IH experts from concept to calibration
The engines in Steiger tractors are built by Case IH sister company FPT Industrial, which has manufactured more than 640,000 SCR engines in 2016 alone and is among the top engine manufacturers in the world.
- Case IH and FPT engineers, design and test these engines at the BurrRidge, Illinois, facility. That’s the same place where our highhorsepower tractors are engineered, ensuring we maintain an exceptional standard of durability and reliability.
- The close alliance between Case IH and FPT also means that Case IH service technicians are expertly trained to maintain engines at any local Case IH dealership.

Powerdrive Powershift

The time-tested and proven PowerDrive powershift offers reliably smooth shifting and reduces operator fatigue, along with Diesel Saver™ Automatic Productivity Management (APM) to save fuel.

The high-efficiency powerdrive

The rugged Case IH PowerDrive powershift transmission i featured on all Steiger tractors. The 2017 Nebraska Tractor test Laboratory proved the Steiger 620 tractor, featuring a PowerDrive transmission, generated the most fluid-efficient horsepower and maximum pull in the world.
The dependable transmission you've come to love just got better
The PowerDrive transmission was designed for efficient operation that helps a producer work more productively. In fact, Case IH engineering tests have proven the enhancements to the PowerDrive can save up to 5 percent horsepower.
- Twenty percent faster shifting speed for faster and smoother shifting, especially while roading or transporting equipment between paddocks.
- The PowerDrive transmission also features larger, helicalcut gears and clutch packs that deliver years of service while transmitting up to 670 peak hp to the ground for large-scale farming.
Key applications

Improve overall productivity with Diesel Saver APM, proven to save fuel. It also helps a producer work more simply, with easier, more positive shifts by maintaining constant clutch pressure. An example of the Diesel Saver APM at work: while planting at a constant 10 kph, a producer can save up to 24 percent on fuel and still achieve the desired plant population. The PowerDrive is ideal for tillage and scraper applications as well as planting, seeding, spraying and more.

The most efficient power available

The first continuously variable transmission engineered for an articulated 4WD tractor, CVTDrive represents the highest-horsepower continuously variable transmission in the industry — 558 peak hp on Steiger 500 hp models. It provides all new opportunities for your operation or line of work. Once the speed is set, the operator is free to focus on the application for improved performance. And CVTDrive provides steady speed change to maintain full power to the ground at speeds as low as 1 metre per minute.

New transmission - Same dependable Steiger frame
The CVTDrive is not just a new transmission. It’s an intelligent transmission designed specifically for the rugged Steiger frame and paired with advanced controls and technology found in Maxxum®, Optum®, Puma® and Magnum continuously variable transmission tractors.
- Tri-point Oscillation
- Structural steel fuel tank
- Heavy 5-in. bar axles

- Features familiar controls, including the integrated split-throttle on the MultiControl Armrest found in Magnum, Optum, Puma and Maxxum CVTDrive tractors.
- In addition to the MultiFunction Handle, an inching pedal controls the tractor, delivering greater control when hooking up implements, packing/pushing loose material, loading and more.
- Active stop holds the tractor stationary on any terrain, making it easier to start and stop on inclines without using the clutch and brake.

Here's how CVTDrive turns possibility into productivity

Steiger CVTDrive tractors have no off-season. Discover how the new CVTDrive puts you in greater control of every application — from planting to harvest. In every application and at every speed, simply set the split-throttle to your desired engine range, and field speed will be maintained.

Planting and seeding
Make the most of short planting and seeding windows with the Steiger CVTDrive.
- Maintaining a consistent speed with constant hydraulic flow ensures planting and seeding accuracy — even in tough, fast-changing conditions.
- In situations where a producer would traditionally have to shift to maintain ground speeds — such as turning or covering rolling terrain — the CVTDrive keeps speed constant to maintain accuracy.
- Without needing to stop and shift, the air seeder fans receive continuous hydraulic power for more accurate populations, reduced plugging an optimal performance.
Nutrient application
Whether sidedressing nitrogen postemergence with a toolbar or performing strip-till in the spring or fall, the CVTDrive shines in nutrient application. With the CVTDrive, get the right speed and the right rate at the right time.
- Focus on precisely controlling every input.
- Using the intuitive CVTDrive controls, a producer sees less overlap, more accurate application and better overall crop health.
Grain cart operation
The CVTDrive ensures a producer’s grain cart works in perfect harmony with the combine.
- Using the exclusive preset controls switch easily between three preset speeds mid operation.
- Go from creeper speed to a high speed to catch up to the combine, then decelerate to match the combine’s pace and fill on the go.
- The CVTDrive helps keep a producer’s grain carts running so they can keep the combines running — there’s never a moment of downtime.
Hauling heavy loads

Steiger tractors with CVTDrive are ideal for pulling slurry tankers, forage carts, trailers and any load a producer’s operation demands. With the Advanced Steering system, it drives like a pickup with features like preset speed control and active stop, which simplify road transport to keep producers moving — even under the heaviest loads.

Tour the Steiger 500 Quadtrac with CVTDrive

Two exclusive Case IH technologies — Quadtrac five-axle track design and the new CVTDrive continuously variable transmission — combine to offer producers a wide range of possibilities to maximise opportunities in their field and for their operation. Take a closer look at exactly what goes into the Steiger Strong features that open up new paths to profit for you — right down to the paint job.

CVTDrive

The first articulated high-horsepower four wheel drive tractor with a continuously variable transmission. Available in 10 configurations with up to 558 peak horsepower.
Intuitive CVTDrive Controls

An integrated split-throttle control on the MultiFunction Handle allows the engine to work throughout its entire range to achieve the perfect balance of power and efficiency. Once the operator sets the desired speed, the CVTDrive automatically selects the most efficient transmission range for the desired load — eliminating the need for clutching and shifting.
Bright lights

Available LED lighting packages provide daytime visibility during nighttime field work, improving productivity and safety at the end of a long day. High-visibility LED marker signals increase visibility to other vehicles when operating on the highway or side roads.

Factory-integrated precision technology

Built directly into every Steiger tractor, Advanced Farming Systems (AFS) components, including the AFS Pro 700 display,AFS AccuGuide™ autoguidance and AFS AccuTurn**, deliver intuitive precision farming solutions that reduce waste and increase efficiency year-round.
Tri-point oscillation

Tri-point oscillation provides the perfect mix of strength and balance when transferring power to the ground, from tillage and planting to nutrient placement and land leveling. Better yet, it’s engineered into every Steiger tractor.
Exclusive track technology

Some equipment trends come and go, but producer feedback continues to prove that interest in tracks has never been stronger. The Steiger Quadtrac features four individually driven, positive drive, oscillating tracks. Each track puts five axles on the ground so it can bend and flex gracefully, maintaining constant contact with the ground for a better ride, optimal ground pressure, superior flotation and better traction.

Tour the Steiger 600 tractor with powerdrive powershift

This is the machine that sets Case IH apart from all the rest. The Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory proved the Steiger 600 with PowerDrive powershift transmission leads the industry in power. Yet, take a closer look at the features and details, which, in combination with efficient horsepower, drive lower total cost of ownership and make producers Steiger Strong.

Proven engines

The Case IH FPT engine has passed every challenge and is built with efficiency in mind. Case IH FPT 8.7-L and Case IH 12.9-L engines incorporate patented fluid-saving SCR-only technology for greater productivity and lower operating costs that produce more power using less fuel.
Powerdrive powershift technology

The time-tested and fluid-efficient PowerDrive powershift does more than just shift gears. With the latest Steiger enhancements, it takes 20 percent less time to shift from first gear to 16th gear, saving you fuel, lowering operating costs and reducing fatigue. And during shuttle operation, a producer can change direction 38 percent faster than before.
Standard advanced steering system

The Case IH Advanced Steering system that gives an operator smoother and more precise control of the tractor and implement at every speed now comes standard on every Steiger tractor. Transitioning between roading and field operations is easier. And unlike previous systems that required four full side-to-side-turns for field applications, this system only requires 3 1/2 turns.
Structural steel fuel tank

Every Steiger fuel tank is made of durable structural steel, unlike competitive offerings. This important design difference adds additional weight and strength to the Steiger chassis.

Quality paint goes the distance

What’s on the inside is just as important as what’s on the outside when it comes to equipment resale value. The Class 6 automotive paint found on all Steiger tractors is proven to last four to six times longer than paint that had previously been used, providing greater resilience to harsh UV sunlight for a long-lasting finish.
Standard heavy-duty axles

All Steiger tractors feature massive heavy-duty axles that can carry up to 30,000 kilograms of gross vehicle operating weight. These enormous axles are 5.5 inches in diameter with 18-bolt hubs and also feature unparalleled braking and hydraulic pressure for feel and modulation. It all adds up to greater strength and durability.
Most powerful wheels on the market

It’s one thing to produce a lot of horsepower. The Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory proved the Steiger 620 wheeled tractor does that better than any other and the Steiger 580 set the second-highest drawbar fuel economy ever recorded. But, what really matters, and where the Steiger lineup excels, is moving this industry-leading power efficiently throughout the tractor and, ultimately, to the ground and implement being pulled. Superior tractive capabilities using automatic differential locks reduce slippage in difficult field conditions.

Comfort that keeps you going, in any conditions

Comfort is a priority when you spend long days in the field. Thanks to input from our customers, we are always advancing features in the Steiger Surveyor™ cab, the largest, and one of the most comfortable cabs in the industry on a row crop chassis. The cab is quieter than previous models and includes added noise reduction enhancements, so you can talk on your phone or multi task as needed to run your business. Case IH Steiger tractors work for you with a cab that allows greater freedom of movement in your seat for uncompromised operator visibility and engineering that stabilizes your ride. All with controls that are in your reach and easy to use.

Hard work shouldn't be a pain in the neck
- The Case IH industry-leading 40-degree right-hand swivel seat in Steiger tractors provides an exclusive 360-degree full field of vision that keeps operators from having to strain their neck all day.
- The cab, radio and HVAC controls are on the upper right, too, so everything is within easy reach.
- The AFS AccuGuide autoguidance system frees the operator up to look back and check on implement operations. The seat and controls design makes doing work easier on the body, so it can stay productive longer.
Cruise through long days in the industry's first suspended cab
- Exclusive 4-point cab suspension stabilizes front-to-back, side-to-side and up-and-down motions.
- Enjoy a smooth ride regardless of terrain with shock-absorbing components at each corner of the cab.
- A combination of springs, dampers and mounts fully isolate the cab from chassis-created vibrations.
- The fully suspended four-post cab suspension system eliminates repeated jarring and bouncing.
Every vital tractor operation - One simple controller
- Case IH MultiFunction Control Handle puts 85 percent of the controls operators use most at their fingertips.
- Adjust speed, gears, direction and much more without even raising an elbow.
- MultiFunction Control Handle features large raised backlit buttons with a distinct touch.
- Exclusive, separately activated front and rear automatic differential locks help maintain control through tough spots while reducing in-field compaction. This standard feature automatically engages and disengages, ensuring ease of use.

Innovative production only Case IH offers

The Case IH Steiger Quadtrac features four individually driven, positive-drive oscillating tracks. Each track puts five axles on the ground, so it can bend and flex gracefully, maintaining constant contact for a great ride, optimal in-row ground pressure, superior flotation and better traction. That ground contact, even on the toughest terrain, isn’t just fancy engineering — it’s real performance for tough conditions and maximum productivity. And, the undercarriage is maintenance-free with on-the-go track self-tensioning and clear bearing caps for easily checking fluid levels.

The most powerful tractors available are also easy to steer
Industry-leading strength does little good without intuitive control over it. Fortunately, Quadtrac delivers.
- Articulated steering of Steiger Quadtrac and Rowtrac tractors operates like typical 4WD wheeled tractor.
- All four tracks remain on the ground, with equal torque transferred during turning.
- Manoeuvres under load with no loss of traction. Two-track systems disrupt power transfer during turning.
- Quadtrac steering remains easy and positive under all conditions.
Unmatched effectiveness with four independent tracks
Take a closer look at why four tracks serve an operation better than two:
- Steiger Quadtrac provides better flotation and traction with four individually driven oscillating tracks that create more ground contact area.
- Increased contact area minimises compaction and improves soil tilth.
- Full power to each track during turns allows these models to turn tightly without causing berming and pull hard with minimal soil disturbance, maintaining soil health and improving seedbed conditions.
- Proven Quadtrac and Rowtrac designs deliver a clear advantage over all competitive track systems.
- Exclusive self-tensioning track system.
Positive-drive system delivers more durablity and reliability
Continuous power and automatic adjustments are just two of the ways this system works to a producer’s advantage.
- Exclusive Quadtrac five-axle positive-drive design delivers more usable power a producer can depend on.
- Quadtrac lugs interlock with bars on the drive wheel, eliminating slippage between the drive wheel and track.
- Positive drive delivers continuous power at all times, even in a wet or slippery spot.
- Unlike friction drives in competitive two-track systems, the Steiger Quadtrac and Rowtrac positive drive adjusts automatically between friction and positive drives, under transport or light loads, which reduces wear, friction and heat — and increases durability.
Maintenance-free undercarriage
It’s simple: less time spent keeping a tractor running means more work getting done. We listened to producers and made maintenance as straightforward and as simple as possible.
- Completely maintenance-free undercarriage with exclusive self-adjusting track tension and clear-cap sight gauges to easily monitor lube levels, helps producers easily monitor fluid levels.
- In the past, daily undercarriage maintenance on “crawler” tractors could consume large amounts of time and money, minimising any productivity advantage producers might see.

Maximum uptime is always on our mind - Because it's always on yours

Planting and harvesting seasons don’t wait for downtime. To get maximum yields, you need to stay up and running. Steiger tractors are designed to keep you there. From the rugged frame construction to the heavy-duty powertrain. And Case IH dealers are certified to maintain every component of your tractor, including the engines. When you buy a Steiger tractor, we want you to use it. Not wait for it to be usable.

A heavy-duty frame with tri-point oscillation for the most demanding work

Steiger tractors have always featured a frame that’s built of ½-inch-thick (12.7 mm) steel and a longer wheelbase with built-in weight for better traction. Steiger tractors are designed with equal front-to-rear weight distribution that provides you optimal power to the ground and can be adapted to meet your specific needs and application.
Quick and easy daily maintenance
- All transmission, hydraulic/axle and engine fluids are serviced at ground level.
- Exclusive 600-hour engine oil change intervals.
- A right-hand service door and ladder make it easy to service components in and on the cab, clean cab glass and communicate with someone outside the right side of the tractor. The right-hand service door also provides access to the electrical cutoff switches during tractor storage.
The proof is in the finish

Upgraded paint quality — Class 6 automotive-grade paint provides 50 percent longer life and less fading, increasing your resale value.
A fuel that lasts as long as the tractor
- 1780 litres (470-gallon) fuel tank for 15 hours of nonstop work.
- Structural steel fuel tank is built right into the frame, adding extra strength and durability to the chassis.

Testimonials

Tim and Richie Gleeson

Natya, Victoria

“This has been a good transition: these Quadtracs do exactly what we bought them to do. We haven’t had to seed down a single sand hill since — at all. We just go straight up and over, no problem.”
Ed and Fiona Simson

Premer, New South Wales

“It was brilliant for us because there was no compaction and no wheel slip. It just disappeared, so we weren’t getting holes dug by wheels pounding, and because there was no slippage, tyre wear became non-existent. The efficiency of the tractor went up and the turning was really good, but on top of that, the comfort and smoothness of the whole tractor were brilliant.”
