Fuel Efficiency is becoming more and more
important to today’s farming operation. Cost
conscious farm operators should take a good,
long look at Steiger.
Recent independent tests have shown that
Steigers do more work on less fuel than any
other tested four-wheel drive tractors. In fact,
comparing results of the twenty tested models
currently on the market, Steiger won the first
four places in horsepower hours produced per
gallon of fuel. The test proved that Steiger
tractors get the most work out of every gallon of
fuel!
* According to official observed independent tests.
