TRACTION AND DEALER INSTALLED ACCESSORIES<br />

MAXIMUM TRACTION WITH<br />

MINIMUM COMPACTION<br />

In addition to the extensive range of standard<br />

equipment, Case IH offer a comprehensive choice<br />

of dealer <strong>in</strong>stalled accessories, which are available<br />

at extra cost.<br />

Four <strong>in</strong>dependent tracks<br />

Full power turns with m<strong>in</strong>imal ridg<strong>in</strong>g<br />

Built-<strong>in</strong> weight for easier ballast<strong>in</strong>g<br />

Choice of tyres or tracks<br />

Case IH eng<strong>in</strong>eers first <strong>in</strong>troduced the QUADTRAC design <strong>in</strong> 1996 and it has led<br />

the <strong>in</strong>dustry ever s<strong>in</strong>ce. Like its predecessors, the <strong>STX</strong> Series QUADTRAC tractor<br />

cont<strong>in</strong>ues the tradition of sett<strong>in</strong>g new <strong>in</strong>dustry benchmarks.<br />

The QUADTRAC 380, 430, 480 or 530 <strong>in</strong> a version with 76 or 91cm tracks<br />

practically “floats” through the fields, giv<strong>in</strong>g you a smooth ride with less soil<br />

compaction. That can result <strong>in</strong> better seed placement, a healthier root zone,<br />

uniform germ<strong>in</strong>ation and higher yields.<br />

As weight transfer is the key to putt<strong>in</strong>g power on the ground, the QUADTRAC<br />

tractor ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong>s an ideal 50/50 weight distribution under full draft loads. Unlike<br />

a two-track system, which shifts weight from the front to the rear of the track,<br />

the QUADTRAC design evenly divides the weight under load to an almost identical<br />

PSI load at the front and rear of the track. Two-track systems transfer more weight<br />

to the rear, which decreases traction <strong>in</strong> the front and <strong>in</strong>creases compaction<br />

at the rear. Another advantage of the QUADTRAC design is the positive drive<br />

system. Lugs <strong>in</strong>tersect with bars on the drive wheel to elim<strong>in</strong>ate <strong>in</strong>ternal slippage<br />

and ensure m<strong>in</strong>imal ground slippage.<br />

A QUADTRAC tractor offers full-power turns under load, unlike two-track<br />

systems that vary power to each track dur<strong>in</strong>g turns. This makes it more efficient<br />

<strong>in</strong> contour and hillside operations because no additional power is required to turn.<br />

Thanks to its built-<strong>in</strong> weight, a <strong>STEIGER</strong> or QUADTRAC tractor offers an advantage<br />

over competitive four-wheel drives. Greater gross vehicle weight reduces the<br />

amount of additional ballast needed for peak performance and pull<strong>in</strong>g power. When<br />

necessary, weight can be added to the front or back by attach<strong>in</strong>g cast brackets to<br />

the tractor frame. With the correct ballast, right tyres and recommended PSI, a<br />

Series <strong>STEIGER</strong> tractor will respond with more pull<strong>in</strong>g power, a smoother ride, and<br />

maximum fuel efficiency.<br />
