We drove over 2000HP of AFS CONNECT STEIGERS!｜Behind the scenes CASE IH testing grounds

CASE IH invited us out to their testing grounds in Arizona to take the brand new AFS CONNECT Steigers for a spin! It was a riot! Only issue was the airline wouldn't let us check the 620 Quadtrac and bring it home.

The technology and operator comfort and fuel economy , on all brands of these new tractors is certainty incredible but they'll never have the charector or sheer brute appearance of your Big Buds !! And 40 years from now I doubt your kids will be rebuilding them !! I love new machines and todays farms demand them but raw steel is hard to beat !! Very envious of your opportunity to go play with all those beautiful toys !!!

Gone are the days of turn plows, disk harrows and row markers on the planter. Following those marks on the ground to keep your row spacing correct. When we were farming, we used a John Deere 494A (4 row/38 inch centers) planter. It got the job done but it wasn't fast doing it. Our only tractor was a 4020 John Deere. But we got the job done with what we had to work with. Thank you all for taking us with you on this adventure!!!

As an 85 year old that grew up farming with a team of horses, the development and sophistication of the modern tractor is nothing short of amazing. I lived in Shelby MT during the 50-60s and immediately recognized the SWEETGRASS HILLS when I first saw your videos. Brought back lots of memories, knew many people from all over the county. Leo now in Idaho

That is great, glad to hear you are from here! I'm sure you've seen so much change throughout the years! This town has changed a lot and sadly is going the way small towns go in the modern day, closing businesses.

We express the same with 'No trespassing." We use the New Holland smarttrax on our fields, since it is the richest, blackest soil in New York. Never have been stuck. Although replacing the track, one time, middle-of-nowhere, was quite time-consuming. Love the ride quality & we cannot manage to get it stuck no matter the terrain. Keep-up the great work (videos)& exhaustive farming. Americans, love Farmers.

The great thing about this all is that CASE IH (and Steyr in Europe) listens to the needs of their customers. I have been driving Steyr for over 15 years now and the improvements they make are well thought-out and meets the demands of the customers. The new layout of the side arm a beauty. The Pro 1200 looks so easy to use. Can't wait til they are also available on the smaller tractor series like we use in Belgium. The CVX or CVT transmission is a masterpiece and a pleasure to drive. Other brand drivers are always amazed when they see how easy this transmission the power of the engine distrubeds to the ground. In those 15 years of driving we only had one major breakdown of the transmission and that was when we had 12000 operatinghours.

[@spu5990]

[@carlstevens4981]

I do love the stieger, they are some amazing machines. But I was using a 2016 john deere 6215, the guidance system on that was amazing. And so easy to use, you can program the lights on memory, set the headlands, use A/B lines or full field programs. I couldn't believe how easy it was, and it's all set up as you need it. You just press the button once you turn around at the end. You can change mid run. I was told the case system was a very difficult one to use. Its good that its easy now.

I have always had a soft spot for the steiger tractor. But this is way cool l loved the whole experience that you took me on through this film. The only wish l have is that these tractors were in the original Steiger green. They. Are a very cool tractor. The fact that it now let's the owner/ operator diagnose any potential problem on the farm through the dealer is a major plus as this reduces the downtime a and frustration that propriety rights can cause the owner. This is a major advantage in owning and running a tractor.
