The Steiger Quadtrac 715, the new top model in the Case IH tractor range, has won the Tractor of the Year 2025 HighPower Category for models of 300hp, at EIMA 2024 in Bologna, Italy. This recognition follows the Quadtrac’s earlier win of an EIMA Technical Innovation Award.
Designed to help the largest farm businesses cover ground as efficiently as possible, the latest Quadtrac minimises fuel use, labour hours and soil compaction. It features an all new heavy duty undercarriage with larger drive wheel to maximise positive drive through greater lug engagement, and a larger overall footprint boosts traction and reduces soil compaction. This is aided by rubber damped mid rollers providing cushioning to absorb shocks and compensate rolling terrain, eliminating point loading. Greater comfort allows operation at higher field speeds, enhancing workrates.
Service time is minimised through automatic track tensioning, elimination of undercarriage greasing points, clear-view oil caps and maintenance-free bushings and pins.
The pan-European judging panel of farm machinery journalists based their assessments on areas including engine performance, fuel efficiency and emission standards, transmission smoothness and reliability. Featuring an FPT Cursor 16 TST twin-stage-turbo engine, the Quadtrac 715 produces 778hp at 1,900 rpm and maximum torque of 3,356Nm at 1,400rpm. A PowerDrive powershift transmission minimises torque loss, while a Multicontroller-mounted right-hand powershuttle switch controls driving direction in combination with a left-hand steering column-mounted shuttle.
Other innovations on the latest Quadtrac include configurable buttons allowing operators to set up controls to suit preferences, AccuTurn – a fully automatic headland turn system – and up to 428 l/min of oil flow with smart torque hydraulic pump to match demanding implements. Comfort and convenience features include automatic pivoting steps and 76,620 lumens total output from a new lighting package. The new Quadtrac 715 also features AccuGuide auto steering and works with the new Case IH FieldOps™ monitoring and management app.
