Have had many.A Bearcat II. A bearcat IV. A 9370. A 435 Steiger and now a 450 quad track. I believe the Bearcat IV was my favorite. It was the first high horsepower dependable tractor that was on this farm. Loved the sound of that 3306 cat. Ran that thing for many years. Plenty of gears to choose from. Good fuel economy. The down side it didn't like running hydraulic motors. So when the air seeder showed up it didn't last long. The 435 was a jumper. Couldn't keep it from bouncing. But we were really pulling that tractor. The Quad. It just pulls and walks up and down the field. Thanks for the video.

I worked for Steiger in the Late 70's in South Australia, we serviced the Southern Hemisphere.....mostly Aussie clients (Big Country here).... I have a deep spot in my heart for there tractors.... I used to respray them, unload them off the trucks, fit the wheels as the customer desired and sometimes took them to the Shipping docks for places far away ( usually Western Australia)...not in that order. The engines were Cummins or Cats....both were good power plants.....I did prefer the Cats though ( just my opinion for no justifiable reason both are great) . They both had a 240w (Aussie) power inlet in them which baffled us Aussies.... they were to keep the engine fluids from freezing overnight.....something we have no need for here but educated us that there are other places on Earth than needed them. They were shipped to us from Dakota, I remember sending them a "Telex" (remember that old tech) asking why the paint job was runny and looked like shit.....their response was " It's minus 40 here, were doing the best we can".....us Aussies had no recourse to that, a totally valid reason.....and hard to comprehend for some of us...... usually Management. Occasionally, we would get a shipment with one of the Tractors having a six pack of American beer on the seat of one of them......The Dakota guys where great....we sent then thanx by "Telex" it's a shame we couldn't respond to them in kind. .....if there's any out there reading this "Thanx mate, it was always a joy to to get your gifts.....I think no-one actually drank the beer but kept them as souvenirs.....foreign beer was really rare back then. The Panther was a big seller in Oz ....however we had a huge order for 21 Tigers in Western Oz.....the Boss had an aerial photo of these in a "V" formation ploughing from the Client......Fucking awesome! Back then the Tiger was AU500+K (In the 70"s...Fuck)!......The buyer was however an American with a great Idea...."nuff said. I think Steigers were the most overengineered Tractors on the Planet.....saw a Bearcat that the owner only had to replace the Uni Joint in 40 years, and that was something they could do themselves. I love seeing the stuff like this.......Brings back many good memories......thanx Mate.

We never put ballast in the tires, always ran it at 7-8 miles an hour. Pulled a 47’ IHC Vibrachisel or 48’ of IHC Diskalls for seeding.

Steiger really is an icon in my mind. Built in my home state for one thing. Also, on a 4-H trip in the mid 70's, I got to tour the brand new Steiger factory in Fargo. An experience I will never forget. They were producing, at the time, for other brands as well. One of them being the allis chalmers 440. Little did I know at the time, that I would be a hopeless allis fanatic, starting about 20 years later Andy still going strong today. Also, Steiger produced a row crop tractor in the early 80's, that utilized several allis chalmers drive train components. So if you see a green Steiger with bar axles vs outboard planetaries, it's has the allis components. One memorable Steiger, that was sold brand new by the dealership that I was working at in the late 80's was equipped with an Allison automatic transmission. Talk about weird, getting into a 360 horsepower tractor, thinking that there should be a couple sticks coming out of the floor that take two men and a boy to move, and instead, a little tiny lever on the console to select the gear, and not even a clutch pedal. I realize that's common now, but wasn't normal for the era. Thanks forget the great history lesson

These machines were based on the Cougar II modell. The factory produced a couple of thousand of them mainly for the local market but there were some items sold throughout Europe. The engine was a MAN licence RÁBA engine 245 hp later 250 hp ( the majority of them was this type ) there were some bigger hp models produced in a very limited number ( 300, 320 even a 500 with two engines ) The transmission was always a mechanical Spicer 1010A with a double disk dry clutch . And of course the axels were those which you could also see on the original US made Steigers - manufactured here in Hungary. These machines were the "leading horses" of the Hungarian agriculture in the '80s. We have 3 of those machines - still operational. Repowered by JD 8.1 engines.

I have a bit of a rare one myself. I have a factory green 1987 panther 1000. Nice old girl. Has a pretty easy life now, all she does is push snow in the winter, and pulls harrows in the spring/fall.

That is awesome. The last green Steiger was a Lion 1000 in July 1989. Two green 9280s were built, a green 535 in 2007 and a green 580 in 2018. That is neat yours is a post merger model.

It's funny how things work out. Steiger made the first Ford 4wd tractors until their merger with Versatile. Now, once again the high horsepower New Holland's are Steiger tractors painted blue.

International Harvester owned part of Steiger before the merger with Case. But in a last ditch effort to save it self IH sold its share of Steiger, I believe to Tenneco.

Andy it is interesting how things come around to be in tractor production.
@bigtractorpower2 жыл бұрын
Bill IH owned 20% of Steiger from 1973 to 1982. IH sold its shares to Deutz. Tenneco acquired Steiger in November 1986 and merged it with Case IH.

I watched the whole video hoping to see one of the high horsepowers pulling 2 or 3 pans. Hauled a lot of dirt with Cat scrapers but didn't get a chance to do it with a multi pan set-up.

Cool video. My favorites are the Steiger Tiger and the case ih Steiger 9370. I’m wondering if when case nh merged all under fiat, did they continue to keep the same platform, so-to-speak, with all the modern “Steigers”, or is it just a name-sake at this point?

I’m dead serious I live in Doug Stigers old house (not his childhood one) it’s pretty big. He planted a crap ton of trees and sometimes he drives out to make sure we’re taking care of them. Truth be told most of them are dying but there’s over 3,000 trees in the yard and it’s a hassle to keep up on all of them.

We had a 1980 cougar 251 with a Cummins the bank said that I was through farming so they sold it in 1985. I just hope that if I had continued farming that I would have kept that tractor, it was simple enough that I could fix it. Not today

Was surprised you actually mentioned the 9260 everyone seems to forget about them! We have one I’m pretty sure dad and grandpa bought new or next to new and at one point was mainly used to pull our 1482 pull type then after our auction sale became the main field tractor pulling either 50ft harrows or 40ft morris neverpin air drill, till last year uncle and cousin bought a tj530 and a 40ft 5710 bourgault with a 6450 cart

9130. Rowcrop special. Three point and pto. I don’t know why anyone would have bought a 7140 instead of these. Changed the oil today. 10020 hours. The only things done have been a fuel pump and brakes. An amazing tractor wish they had ones of this quality still that were easy to work on. Added led lights gps and metric radials. Those add ons are probably worth more than the tractor.
