It’s the biggest announcement Case IH Australia/New Zealand has made around its tractor range, and it’s about to be introduced to customers around the country.
The Steiger® 715 Quadtrac® has reached Australian shores, the brand’s most powerful Steiger ever and currently the highest horsepower tractor available in the local market.
With an engine rated for 715 continuous horsepower (533 kilowatts) and 778 peak HP (580 kW), the Steiger 715 delivers “power with purpose”, putting more power to the ground to do more in a day, while being agile and versatile enough to navigate a single lane of traffic.
“With the arrival of the Steiger® 715 Quadtrac®, combined with the new Steigers we launched to the local market last year, it positions the range as one of Case IH’s most flexible tractor offerings,” said Justin Bryant, Case IH ANZ Steiger Product Manager.
“This is a major, and very exciting, announcement for our brand and we’re extremely proud to finally have it here and available for Australian and New Zealand customers to order.”
Features include:
- New heavy-duty undercarriage with a longer track design for improved traction and flotation to match the tractor’s high horsepower, while still reducing soil compaction and delivering more power to the ground;
- Higher three-point linkage capacity and full engine power through the whole working range of that three-point linkage;
- Improved visibility from the operator’s cab with newly re-styled cab interior, redesigned bonnet and exhaust and increased LED lighting power;
- Increased road speed;
- 16-speed PowerDrive powershift transmission;
- Increased fuel capacity to allow longer stints in the paddock;
- Easier daily service with 31% greater access from re-designed engine hood, debris shields easily removed without the need for tools, giving greater access around the engine;
- Newly-designed exterior cab roof styling with integrated overhead grab rails for safe access right around the cab, powerful LED work lighting and integrated antenna for implement tyre pressure monitoring; and
- State-of-the-art cab with optional dual Pro 1200 displays for increased functionality, ventilated and heated leather seat, telescoping steering wheel with memory lock, and a leather MultiControl armrest.
“This is the largest, most powerful tractor Case IH has produced and as part of the Quadtrac family it further complements the proud history of this dynamic range which has been a leader in tractor power and efficiency since 1996,” Justin said.
“The large-scale broadacre sector of our industry has been demanding more power, and we’ve delivered with the Steiger® 715 Quadtrac®, which is ideally suited to what these farmers need, and to our - at times - demanding and challenging conditions.”
In Australia, the Steiger® 715 Quadtrac® joins the MY24 AFS Connect Steiger model offering announced in August of last year, which includes Rowcrop Wheeled models from 425 – 525HP; Wideframe Wheeled models from 555 – 645HP; Scraper models 555 – 645HP; Quadtrac models from 475 – 645HP; and Rowtrac models from 425 – 525HP.
The Steiger® 715 Quadtrac® is about to embark on a tour of dealerships around the country, with local customers able to place orders now, for delivery beginning later this year, ready for winter cropping 2025.
