There are other four
wheel drive tractors. But
Steiger is preferred here in
the East by more farmers
farming more than 1000
acres than all the other 200
plus drawbar HP four wheel
drive tractors combined.
Why? The answer is simple.
Steiger Tractors have been
proving themselves in the
fields of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and
Delaware for the past seven years.
Steiger Tractors are dependable, like a Farmall M.
Steiger uses rugged components' designed for
construction equipment. Engines such as Cat and
Cummins. Drive-line components; such as Spicer and
Allison. Steiger uses plate steel for their hoods, not
fiberglass. Steiger guarantees its drive-line com
ponents for 2-years. Steiger Tractors we sell are
backed-up by Hoober Service Specialists and a stand
by-tractor.

than the others.-Our
perience with large tillage equipment enables us to
match the proper tillage tool to the proper tractor for
your particular operation. Less slippage means in
creased efficiency.
Steiger Tracers are comfortable like a Lincoln
Continental. Steiger’s Safari Cab is quieter than other
200 plus HP four-wheel drive tractors. They are
roomy and the large contoured seat takes the torture
out of thos elong spring days. Air-conditioning and an
AM-FM stereo tape player are standard equipment.
Steiger Tractors are priced like a Chevrolet. Price a
Steiger by the pound, by the drawbar HP, or by the
acre.. Then compare. You’ll see you can’afford this
Cadilac of four-wheel drive tractors.

Steiger Trectors save fuel,
like a Volkswagen Rabbit.
Steiger’s simple drive train
converts a larger per
centage of engine HP to the
drawbar than other 4-wheel
drive tractors. Steiger’s
drive train efficiency
translates into more work
performed per gallon of fuel
