The Right Track: Steiger^® Quadtrac^® vs John Deere 9RX Four-Track

Watch as producers compare the Case IH Steiger Quadtrac tractor and the John Deere 9RX tractor. You’ll see their raw reactions during the test drive and hear about the design and performance features of each machine.

Ten experienced track operators compared the Steiger Quadtrac 620 tractor and John Deere 9620RX tractor. From ride quality and visibility to fuel efficiency and serviceability, see which design features they felt were superior on each machine.

Listen to how former John Deere owners reacted to the Case IH Steiger Quadtrac tractor vs. the John Deere 9RX tractor driving experience.

One of the first things producers noted was the difference in ride quality. In the Steiger Quadtrac tractor, comfort comes from the patented suspension system and in-cab operating environment, including the MultiControl armrest, single monitor control, heated and ventilated seats, footrest pegs and 40-degree swivel seat.

Good visibility not only made the test drive safe, it made it easier to see the drawbar to hook up the implement and go. The Steiger Quadtrac tractor cab features 68 square feet of glass and a forward-sloped hood for 360-degree visibility.

Maneuvering one of the biggest tractors in agriculture could be a difficult task. But not for the Steiger Quadtrac tractor. An advanced steering system reduces operator input for better control on the road and in the field. This means smoother operation, increased predictability, and an impressive turning radius.

Noise is another indicator of comfort. In the event video, listen to the difference in noise levels. With less movement and less noise, the Steiger Quadtrac tractor provides a more comfortable environment for the operator who spends long days in the cab.

There’s no time for downtime. With the Steiger Quadtrac tractor, the 600-hour engine oil change interval and access to air filters and batteries makes for easy serviceability. Easy meaning a few latches as opposed to taking off bolts and side panels.

Once operators tried the green stairs, the benefits of the red stairs became clear. One producer who participated in the test drive was exceptionally tall; another had an aging father who still helped around the farm. They both quickly commented on the ease of cab entry and exit.

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology is simply the most efficient and powerful diesel emissions-control technology there is.

Better fuel economy of the Steiger Quadtrac tractor vs. the John Deere 9RX four-track tractor was experienced by customers during the test drive event.

The oscillating tracks of the Steiger Quadtrac tractor provide greater ground contact. The result is better traction and less slippage.

The Steiger Quadtrac tractor has power you can feel in the cab. It can be lugged at lower engine rpm, producing more torque than competitive tractors, especially in tough field conditions.

Fuel efficiency combined with higher power means producers can more efficiently cover more acres in a work day.
