It will be interesting to see what CNH do with the cabin and on board computer system which some people have complained about as getting long in the tooth.

Is there a CVT version of the Quadtrac/Steiger or are they all still powershift?

Think they have a CVX line of Quadtracs now.

Doubt the cab will have changed much. The cab and operating system were fully overhauled in all Steiger and magnum tractors a couple years ago

On Board computer system was updated a few years ago. If I remember right, they were the first to have a digital centre dash behind steering wheel. Hardly outdated

Is there still a place for one of these in the U.K. with the shift to reduced tillage across the board? Not many large outfits are full tillage ploughing any longer. Fuel prices and the move towards carbon credits have seen to that.
Is an expensive subsoiling tractor for once every 5 years isn’t it?

What about the farms growing spuds, beet, etc or sticking with ploughing. I would agree that the number of farms who would potentially find a home for one has been curtailed but there are still plenty of 300hp type machines about which would be replaced with a single one of these to pull a wider drill. It's not for everyone, that is for sure.

Never seen a quadtrack in a potato environment. It can’t sit in the beds so it’s limited to initial tillage work. Even a grower with 1000ac couldn’t justify it to plough everything then turn around and subsoil it. Those two passes in fuel would today be £160-£200 per HOUR. Big root crop growers run things like Fendt 939 because they can sit them in the beds and then the next day put it on a trailer to haul seed to the field etc.

They will clearly sell a few in the U.K. but I can’t see them being big sellers like they have done over the last 20 years or so.

Once went to warwikshire on to a 6500 acre farming organization they were drilling with a quit track and it was making it grunt the drill was 8 mters really hard reddish clay.

Think who you are referring to was on here at some point a while back .

2019 my brother used one on a trailer alongside the harvester. It was the only thing that could get out the field. Plus it pulled the harvester when it got stuck.

Claas doing the same releases their new monster!

A few years ago a contractor over here on the Island had one. Got put on a fert spinner, as it was so wet nothing else could get out in the spring.

Round here, most root vegetable primary cultivation involves one pass of a "Keeble Progressive" tillage train. Quadtracks and 9RX s are perfect for that.

Call me old fashioned if you like, but I much preferred the “square” look of the last of the green Steiger tractors / 9000 series Case, than these new rounded looking things
They just look so much more like a no nonsense working machine, than some blinged up show pony fashion exercise ?

yes, I know it’s not a Quadtrack, but it IS a 9000 series Case that links its DNA directly to Steiger


and it is mine
