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 />
