Track Technology
Steiger Quadtrac Tractors
Four individually driven, oscillating tracks of a Steiger Quadtrac tractor give you greater ground contact that rubber tires or two-track systems cannot match. The result strikes a balance between productivity and efficiency you won't find anywhere else. Better traction and less slippage. Greater flotation and reduced compaction. It's a design with a proven competitive advantage.
The four tracks of a Steiger Quadtrac tractor distribute weight more evenly and efficiently than two-track systems, reducing compaction. That leads to benefits that include better flotation and traction, and easier transport. A Quadtrac tractor distributes loads evenly across the length of each track - even with the added weight of a load putting force onto the rear tracks.
Delivering more usable power you can depend on is possible because of the exclusive Quadtrac positive-drive design. Lugs that interlock with bars on the drive wheel and track. A positive drive is continuous, even in a wet or slippery spot. The Steiger Quadtrac tractor positive drive adjusts automatically under transport or light loads that reduce wear, friction and heat - and increases durability.
Steiger Rowtrac Tractors
The Case IH Steiger Rowtrac tractor's four-track, positive drive system is the only factory integrated drive system of its kind. With equal-sized, independent, oscillating tracks, you can get in fields sooner and maximize the opportunity for high-yielding crops. It also minimizes ground pressure and reduces compaction, improves traction and makes transportation easier.
The design allows you to cover more ground in less time, even when field conditions are less than optimal.
Magnum Rowtrac Tractors
Magnum Rowtrac tractors are designed to strike the perfect balance, with tire options that fit your row width and soil type and an oscillating rear-track design that keeps the power on the ground through the tightest turns. These tractors keep four points of ground contact, which reduces surface pressure and means less weight transfer from front to rear than two-track systems. And it offers maneuverability and handling comparable to a wheeled tractor.
When you compare maneuverability and handling, Magnum Rowtrac tractors clearly takes a turn for the better. Where two-track designs may scuff the field surface on turns, create ruts and berms, and pull into soft spots, the Magnum Rowtrac tractor design maintains a larger, more balanced footprint as it nimbly works through irregular ground and headland turns. Reduced soil disturbance means more productivity from more of the field.
