Who else just loves the sound of old diesel tractors
@RichardS-qh8miАй бұрын
What an absolute beast! The gargantuan grunt of these big tractors never fails to impress. Pulls 14 plowshares like they’re not even there.

First and foremost, your Tiger looks like new, well looked after and appreciated for what it is. 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 on 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 but 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 these 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.

Thanks very much for your video. I had the great privilege when I was 17 years old to operate the second 450 in Australia which was in central west NSW. It was obviously the Cummins early model. Such a stunning machine and will always be a great memory for me. It was bought to compliment a 310 hp Panter 2 that was also an awesome machine. Many great memorys. Again thanks for the video and God bless you all from Australia.

@jamesbarbour840010 ай бұрын
A fair few Steiger 'STs' used Raba axles, hence the connection - I think the Hungarain tractor frames may be based on Series II Steiger frame designs, perhaps someone can correct me ? The 'ST' Tigers, both 450 and 470 models utilised Steigers' own K594 axle, a serious piece of 'metal' in its own right, and was a double reduction unit. Wasn't aware that there was also a 525hp model in this range ? Which engine did that use ?
