Amazing 4wd Tractor Collection STEIGER

[@aswedishhorrornerd4853]

Those old detriot diesels always puts a smile on my face. Great to see the old iron still running strong.

[@darrelfuhrman8217]

The last green Steiger is on my cousin’s farm north east of Glasgow Montana. It was sold out of Town & Ranch Servicenter, run by the Potter boys. Don told Bitz? that Bill really wished that he could have gotten a Steiger last year when they were green. Bitz put in the delete codes. Bill’s Steiger came in green with Lion on it instead of red with numbers. Don did not tell Bill that the tractor was coming in green. I was mounting the blade on it when Bill saw it for the first time. Bill was speechless! When Larry told me that I was working on the last green Steiger ever built, I was surprised. Hello from north east Montana.

[@nellsonstout7001]

Okay now that’s one of the coolest comment section stories I’ve ever seen on this channel! Crazy to think that out of how many green Steigers there are that it’d be the last

[@johnnyh1965]

Wow that’s just a stunning collection of all those beautiful vintage big horse four-wheel-drive tractors ! ! ! 👍

[@bigtractorpower]

It is always neat to visit this farm.

[@phmoffett]

I saw my first Steiger at a John Deere dealership in Kingman, KS. I never saw one running and would like to some day. I grew up on a small farm in North Texas. Believe it or not, we used John Deere "G", John Deere "A" and Farmall F-20. That was all the power we needed.

[@trekzilladmc]

The Euclid tractor is my favorite. I've always enjoyed seeing homemade tractors built from whatever was laying around.

[@4gauge10]

I hope that the family will restore every one of those tractors,not just for historical reasons,but considering that a brand new 500+hp. 4-wheel-drive will set you back a cool $500-K or more,it just makes since.

[@jons7677]

I used to run a 4568, beast of a tractor. You could still hear it a day after shutting it down. V8 with straight pipe.

[@bigtractorpower]

I hear you on that no pun intended. Those IH V8s let you know where they are working.

[@doctorevil7352]

What an awesome collection of rare machines. Hoping to see more in future videos.

[@oukvantha]

Yes, I agree.

[@uwedeeke8165]

i would like to add one comment thank you very much for posting all these videos on u tube i am suffering from emphysema am on home oxygen so this is my past time i love these and other videos about old farm equipment thank you very much

[@bigtractorpower]

I am sorry to hear about your health. I am glad these videos can get you out in the field. I enjoy getting to share these machines especially classics. Thank you for letting me know about your viewing.

[@uwedeeke8165]

thank you for the quick response my health is my own fault i smoked to much anyway thank you

[@marksinn3173]

Labor day I'm going to Rollag to see the dedication of the steiger barn at the Western Steam thresher reunion. They'll have the first steiger and a few other ones that day. I'll try get some pics and videos.

[@kurtreinhardt6789]

Thanks for tour- lots of history all in 1 place

[@michaelbaumgardner2530]

Awesome treasure trove,thanks a bushel for the follow up I love the 71 series Detroit's and my favorite was the one and only kta series Cummings.Absolutely awesome video !!!

[@joshp4.0]

I noticed that 16:47-19:06 was the same clip from last year. I was wondering what happened to all of those tractors, particularly the old Wagner WA17 and Steiger that were way off in the woods. Have any of them over there moved at all? I personally love the old, rusty, all original tractors like those, so I had to ask.😁

[@bigtractorpower]

Good memory. You are a dedicated viewer. 😁👍 It was 95 degrees yesterday and the grass was tall out there were I filmed last year so I went with the same clip to show all the Steigers. They have not changed in a year.

[@molyneuxchilled2526]

Great tractors. I'm from New Zealand and there isn't a lot of Steigers here but I did do a seeding in Western Australia back in 1979 and the farmer had two panthers. The old one a 290HP and the new one a 320hp. Great video.

[@Czecher262]

No words for this vid. Just numbers....24 out of 10. And congrats on 150k. See you at 1m.

[@kirkmadsen6758]

I realize it would be a real workout & long day, but it sure would be appreciated & nice if we could see the inside of these tractors. It would be interesting to see the placement of the hydraulic levers, throttle control, what options were in the cab, types of seats & just what the interior of each looks like. Maybe bring a young high school kid along to climb in & out of them for you!

[@rexjohnson5109]

Great lineup of aged iron it is to the Waltham’s credit for not only assembling all these historic tractors but the fact they all run is amazing thanks for sharing

[@scottbelinda3509]

Would love to be there in person to see thoses tractors. Thanks for the great video. Can't wait to see the next video.👍

[@ericlakota6512]

I never knew stger built all thease 4×4s like the ford i love that ford 40 and wish u had wd60 but theirs on on youtube

[@CoalChrome]

I spotted an AC 440. I actually have a 1:16 model of it, 1 of 2500 made.

[@CoalChrome]

If I remember, on one of your older videos, there was a yellow 2200 with the "fatso" tires on it.

[@mrih1586]

I really enjoyed this video. Would have been great if you could have included the horse power rating of the early Steigers. Feel sure very few people know. Thanks for sharing what you do know.

[@ZekenStreak]

What an outstanding collection. Thanks for the informative vid. I too would like to hear some of them working in the field. Cheers.

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

Thank you. It is an honor to have so many tractor fans tuning in.

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

@@bigtractorpower you are welcome!!!! Thank you for finding everything and gathering all the information..to make your great videos to show us!!!

[@Muffin_Masher]

An AC-440 was the main tractor at the family farm when i was little, it got demoted a couple of times but it's still there and does some work every now and then, sadly even though it sounds amazing the little V8 just can't compete with the newer inline sixes of its big brothers with 100+ more horses

[@SuperAliceleo]

Thank You for sharing this video and the detailed commentary Jason, take care and have a great day.

[@mikeandcolleenk9831]

Omg i love them. Beautiful collection . Where are they located?

[@mikeabresch3827]

I.love these tractors

[@drakehamm1797]

What was up with the coop cougar 2 that had the inside duals wider than the outside ones

[@bigtractorpower]

It is a plowing dual set up. The center large tire is the main tread. If the tractor in tillage finds a wet spot the narrow tire grabs and adds extra traction. It was a common set up in the 70’s.

[@lawnfarmer]

Forgot to mention the GMC 9500 longhood truck with a V series Detroit diesel 😁

[@RyTrapp0]

Being a bit of an 'old soul traditionalist'(almost every vehicle I've owned has been a stick shift - I'm not a fan of today's 'road cocoons') if you will, but with a thing for cutting edge technology too(hypocritical interests - go figure), I'm REALLY into modernisation. Taking old cars, rebuilding the engine with modern parts, adapting it for aftermarket electronic fuel injection, maybe add a turbo or two, modern shock & spring package underneath, etc. Taking old stuff and rebuilding it with new components, modern technology, but keeping the classic look, maybe don't even worry about the bodywork at all. Anyway, I would LOVE to modernize one of those Steigers - drop in an early electronic diesel(a Cat C18 would be pretty damn cool...), maybe put a set of more modern axles under it to get some modern brakes and differentials(electronic selectable lockers?), replace all the lighting with modern halogens+LEDs, obviously we need to adapt some modern electronics inside the cab(though an outright cab swap to something from the late '90s-early '00s might be the best option versus attempting to add all the new stuff to the old cab), GPS, whatever else would be needed to allow for this classic tractor to work relatively seamlessly with modern equipment in a modern operation(modern modern modern). Think of it like the custom car industry, people want old cars turned into perfectly modern daily drivers/track cars/race cars underneath the body; imagine doing this with 1970s tractors - an old Steiger out in the field with brand new Deeres and Cases, but not giving anything up to them in performance and capability because everything under the skin has been modernized and upgraded. Surely there's some old rich farmers out there that would love to have their "dream Steiger" or "dream Big Bud" built with today's hardware! Lol

Great history of those Steiger tractors on this video. Have you seen a Tribine harvester in action?? That'd be great to see if you come across one.

[@bigtractorpower]

I have not filmed the Tri Bine. I sure would like to get one.

[@noahh4904]

Have any idea of where it was sold in Pennsylvania?

[@bryanrupple7441]

That was great! Thanks

[@nellsonstout7001]

There’s one error. The repowered tiger 800 wasn’t barn built. It was Fargo built and apparently repowered at the barn. The tiger 800 is the series 1 tiger. The 2250 is the barn built prototype

[@bigtractorpower]

This Tiger 800 was built at the barn. The first factory Steiger was the Wildcat I in 1969. The 2250 and Tiger 800 set the styling for series I.

[@nonamenolastname8600]

Make a video about this company's history

[@bigtractorpower]

I am working on it. I lack filming three models in the Steiger history over the past 60 years to complete the full story. Stay tuned.

You can tell by those valve covers that its going to have a "mean sound"

always so weird for me to see 4wd tractors doing field work without gps. I hardly know of any 4wd in use of any vintage here in Saskatchewan that doesn’t have a gps of some sort. Wether it be autosteer or just guidance

[@natureshorts88]

I am your biggest fan give me one

[@piperdoug428]

Wonder how many serial No.1’s went through a scrapyard and no one noticed.

[@marksinn3173]

All the early steigers are still on the right side of the gate at the scrap yard

[@bigtractorpower]

In tractors in general more than a few numbers ones have probably been scraped. Often owning the first built as a new owner may not be desirable as all bugs may not have been worked out. As a collector it’s a prize to have. Luckily all these early Steigers are still around.

[@fivedotsdave9723]

I wonder how these big tractors, like the one pulling the cultivator at the start of the film, were able to run cool enough when they would be doing heavy work,

[@bigtractorpower]

I think they do run hot. That is why they cut the Vs in the front to help get air around the engine. They were big big machines in their day but not built for comfort.

[@darrelfuhrman8217]

Huge radiators with bigger fans. Hello from north east Montana.

[@nellsonstout7001]

The Vs were often not enough and the grills were modified. The 3300 looked at here is a good example of that.

[@CheeseMiser]

I want to own a barn built stieger one day

[@bigtractorpower]

It would be cool to own one. Only 126 were built.

[@minenotyours9031]

Why was the yellow one an industrial version

[@bigtractorpower]

It was sold for industrial use. Very rare variation.

[@darrelfuhrman8217]

bigtractorpower In Larslan Montana, north east of Glasgow there is a industrial Steiger barn tractor with a 8 way factory blade. On the rear is a back blade that smooths out the dirt that the front blade is pushing. Our neighbor bought it to cover in sewer lines and septic tanks.

What's the significance of the V in the grill?

[@bigtractorpower]

It was cut out to help the engine cool.

[@nellsonstout7001]

And to add to what Jason has said, unfortunately the V wasn’t often enough, so you’d see the grills modified quite frequently
