Wh
WHEN YOU
CAN HAVE THIS
STEIGER ADVANTAGES OVER
FRONT-WHEEL ASSIST
TRACTORS
More traction from having all drive
tires the same size.
Less compaction because tractor weight
is distributed more evenly from front to
back.
Increased productivity because Steiger
has more drawbar HP.
Less production expense because
Steiger does more work per gallon of
fuel.
Better maneuverability because
Steiger’s articulated steering permits
short turning radius.
Proven Steiger reliability from simple
tractor design and proven industrial
strength engines and drive train com
ponents.
