The work of two tractors
and two men.
“Yesterday, one man went out and
chisel plowed 130 acres of about
average-going for us. The fields weren’t
hilly and there was some long rows and
some short rows. It was the case of doing
130 acres in 10 hours. That’s 13 acres an

“Getting my crop in on time means
a whole lot - and my Steiger has done that.
It assures me that I will get all my work done
and get a better seedbed for my soybeans
at the same time. Before I wasn’t getting my
work done with 2-wheel drive, because I
didn’t have any hired labor. Now I can loaf
and do 10 acres an
hour. That’s some
change from
when I was a boy
working for my
Daddy. Then we
were happy doing
25 acres a day,”

hour. We’d surely be running two
tractors and two men in the system we
had before. This tractor and the wider
chisel plow cuts your turns in half.
That’s something most people don’t
think about, and the maneuverability on
the turns is no worse than a smaller
tractor,” says Abe Barley
“I’d quit farming before I’d
give up my Steiger”
says Bob Miller
“Hitching an anhydrous tank to
my 15 tooth chisel, I can chisel
and apply nitrogen in one step at
the rate
of 10
acres
per hour.
Quite a
time and
labor
saver,
this
tractor.”
