Tractor Rollouts Span 25 to 778 Peak Horsepower at Farm Progress Show
Case IH is nodding to its past while focusing on the future with a 2024 lineup delivering more purposeful design, technology and performance on everything from electric power to versatile subcompacts to the company’s most powerful tractor ever – the Steiger® 715 Quadtrac®. It’s truly the “Year of the Tractor” for Case IH.
The Steiger 715 Quadtrac, already open for orders, delivers built-in power and speed to cover more ground in less time. The 715 horsepower-rated, 778 peak horsepower engine1 sets a new bar for performance, but it’s also nimble enough for any challenge.
“The Steiger 715 Quadtrac is not just our most powerful tractor to date – it delivers power with purpose. It puts more power to the ground to do more in a day, while being nimble enough to navigate a single lane of traffic,” says Tom Curley, Case IH Global Product Manager for Steiger. “With the addition of the 715, the Steiger line is positioned as one of Case IH’s most flexible tractor offerings."
With great power comes greater efficiency. This newest Steiger model introduces the new heavy-duty Quadtrac undercarriage that offers increased traction to keep up with the engine’s horsepower. But it also provides the maneuverability needed to go anywhere, with better visibility and roadability to improve the driving experience in and out of the field. Plus, with a new hood design, redesigned exhaust and LED lighting, the sight lines are a thing of beauty.
The Farm Progress Show 2023 marks the first time farmers can take this kind of horsepower to the field. At the Ride and Drive, attendees will get firsthand experience with these purposeful innovations:
An engine delivering 15% more power to meet the demands of higher-acreage operations, helping pull wider implements more efficiently. The Steiger 715 is equipped with the FPT Industrial brand new C16 TST, the twin-stage-turbine engine developed in collaboration with Case IH specifically for this tractor.
This Quadtrac’s heavy duty undercarriage and longer track design improves traction and flotation to reduce soil compaction.
Increased fuel capacity of up to 520 gal means more precious time in the field, while visibility is increased thanks to 27% more LED lighting and a redesigned exhaust.
The Steiger 715 Quadtrac gives operators better data visibility, connectivity and automation to do any job more efficiently, no matter who is in the cab. AFS AccuGuide sets the stage for pass-to-pass accuracy with customizable, repeatable accuracy levels to match any operation, while AFS AccuTurn enables hands-free steering and automatic, repeatable end-row turns. Dual Pro 1200 displays provide access to more real-time data across the fleet, so operations can make faster, more informed decisions.

“With fuel costs rising and ever-changing regulations, tractor operators need smarter, more efficient power to get the job done,” says Joe Miller, Case IH Global Product Marketing Manager for Tractors. “We know there are parts of the country looking toward electric to maintain vineyards, clear airfields or manage small herds of livestock and our electric tractor will meet these needs. For 2024, the Farmall electric tractor will be released in specific markets.”
