4-WHEEL DRIVE
TRACTOR
HEADQUARTERS
Once You Own A Four-Wheel-Drive Tractor,
The Key To How Profitable It Is Comes Down To
THE AMOUNT OF WORK IT DOES, HOW MUCH FUEL IT
USES, AND HOW MUCH UPKEEP IT TAKES.
A COUGAR DOES
MORE WORK.
The Cougar’s "large
displacement and high
torque rise Caterpitfar and
Cummins engines have
consistently given Steiger
the extra reserve of pulling
power In fact, these 280
horsepower Steigers ac
tually outperform higher
horsepower tractors by
delivering more of their
engine horsepower to the
drawbar This high per
centage of engine to
drawbar horsepower means
that with a STEIGER Cougar
you get more of the power
you're paying for
Steiger selects engines, transmissions, and other components from a wide range of
sources So while other manufacturers are generally forced to sell only what they
build, Steiger can pick from the newest and most efficient technology on the maiket
The components are then carefully engineered into a machine that can consistently
outperform and outlast the competition A COUGAR keeps its upkeep to a minimum
IF YOU COMPARE A COUGAR IV TO THE OTHERS,
SOONER OR LATER, YOU'LL OWN A STEIGER

A COUGAR
SAVES FUEL
You pay for a tractor once
You pay for fuel everytime
you put the nozzle in the
tank But Steiger has
engineered this four wheel
drive to squeeze more
power out of every drop of
fuel than any other tractor in
its class The difference
between the fuel efficiency
of a Cougar CM-280 and
most other tractors can save
you enough money each
year to buy your family a
new TV or refrigerator or
other appliance
