How good is that? Two massive Tigers running together in a field. Truly, the Series 'III' Stiegers are what every other 4wd tract measures up to. As was mentioend in the comment below, they were and still are. Majestic!

[@heatmoon]

Stiegers still rule the fields like they did when i was a kid growing up on a small grain farm in the 80s and early 90s. So well engineered and well built, big heavy tractors that can pretty much pull whatever you hook up to it, it could pull a house off it's foundation if you wanted

[@MichaelTJD60]

The Cat 3408-powered ST470 is a dream tractor of mine. I can only imagine what it's like listening to that big V8 Cat purr all day long.

[@heatmoon]

How many would you find still running a V8. Coming from a farm family V8 tractors were short lived because they aren't as reliable and used more fuel. Just saying coming from experience a V8 is not what you want and there's a reason v8s aren't and haven't been used in decades. Sure like the sound of a big block V8 though, used to have a Charger with. 440 mag so i get the love of the sound

[@nellsonstout7001]

@@heatmoonthe 3408s actually held up pretty well. So far I’ve only seen one of the 3408 tigers repowered

[@bobsmith1814]

I love seeing classic stiegers in the field plowing and discing the field

[@SimonKL11]

Steigers are great prairie monsters😃💪 the sunflower disk does a great job😉👍

[@garylam6233]

That Steiger is a beast of a tractor , The limousine of the field seems to work as good as a lot of the new stuff . I’m not a farmer just enjoy your videos and make observations of the farmers operation and equipment working from my sofa unfortunately! Always wished I could have worked in this line of work I had a few summers as a young man on large farms bush hogging and repairing fences then became an electrician! But it got in my blood and I wish it had became a reality ! Thanks so much Enjoy all the videos Keep um coming God Bless Our Farmers they deserve so much better just like our veterans!

[@TimKrenz-j8t]

❤😊 I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE VIDEO 😊❤ I REMEMBER DRIVING ONE OF THOSE TRACTORS ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO WITH A SCRAPER BEHIND IT WITH A BIG RIPPER TOOTH ON THE SIDE TO BREAK UP FROZEN GROUND SO IT WOULD THAW OUT !! IT WAS BY BELLE PLAINE MN 😊❤

[@gerryspang5917]

We have a Tiger 3 with a 450 h.p. Engine and at overhaul time turned it into a 525 after cooled engine, also managed to find a spare engine from a truck and even has a Jacob’s Engine Brake but is only a 450 horsepower. It is big and can really get the work done

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool. Thank you for sharing.

Yes the steiger tiger . Are a beast , like the 325 panther . Good solid tractors , and those CAT and CUMMINS engines , are great .

That's a very impressive sight, of two massive tractors and machines working together! Something you don't see here in the UK

[@johnspartan3465]

Very true, I think they sold a lot of the big ford 4wd tractors here back in the 80’s but these days you tend not to see many big tractors it’s a shame

[@fredscott9090]

My retired nabor had a late barn built ? and st 310. We run a 9420 deere mostly on 30 ft 2660 vt and gold digger plow.

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool on both Steigers. Only 136 barn built tractors were made from 1963-1969. The 9420s is one of my favorite John Deere four-wheel-drives.

The steiger is a tractor I've always wanted, we run versatile 500, 900, and 1150 on our farm currently

[@georgestirewalt8508]

I think this is one of your best videos ever. The filming and clearly, was outstanding and the weather was just right. And your voice as narrator has never been better. Oh and it helps to have an All Starr cast of real American tractors and disk. And those Operator's are so kind to The Real Green Machines. Hollywood couldn't have done any Better.

Fantastic footage apart, it sure is an education learning about the background of these iconic tractors.

I'm blessed to now own a st 450. It was number 20 off the line in 1979. It has the 1150 Cummins set at 525 HP. New paint. American iron.

Very cool. Great tractor.

[@EDBZ28]

these guys a class-act...what a couple of beautiful Steiger Tigers...with matching Sunflower disks! I have so much respect for farmers who run older, nice tractors & equipment. I can't get over how Steiger doubled the weight with the 450. I also can't believe you could buy a monster disk like these featured for just a bit over 100k a little over 10 years ago...a year ago I heard from a neighbor who priced a new John Deere 30', so just a 3-section, for 130k!

[@bigtractorpower]

A 50ft disk now is $176,000. As much as a the tractor was new.

[@EDBZ28]

[@justat1149]

@@EDBZ28 The guy who owns these two Tigers is local to me. He’s got a huge collection of classic 4WD tractors. He has two Big Bud 600’s, at least three Series III Tigers, he has one of the few Steigers the Dole Plantations in Hawaii used, along with various others. They’re quite the common sight in my part of Southern IL

@@justat1149 very interesting. Sounds like a very well-to-do operator. Thx for sharing. I’m from WNY and have been through IL 3x in my life and loved every time.

After all these years of working in the paddock they are still very desirable. There were quite a lot of Steiger’s here in Australia. I would happily farm with a rebuilt tiger 111.

Remember being at the Purdue tractor pulls when I was in college early 80's before they sold to CaseIH... They had a couple on display,,, was always a fan!!! What's funny is you can take a 3406/6NZ these days and make reliable 800hp, back then they were 400... Not many 3408's around...

When we first got these tractors a rep and a mechanic from cummins came to our farm and turned the injection pump up to make the kta put out 525 hp they said 450 hp was to low for the kta 1150

The KTA 1150 is an impressive engine. The Tiger IV made is to 525 factory. Woods and Copeland offered a 600 hp model with a KTA.

I have heard that there were 18 built, and a majority of them went to Australia. There are definitely more than two. I have seen a picture of one in Australia and I know a farmer who owns two of them here in the United States. Hopefully next year, I will be able to film them out in the field.

Not that I know off. A 35 foot disc really gives a good finish the water you go. The harder is to keep the wings running as even as the center. This 50 is heavy duty.
