HEAVY-DUTY HEAVYWEIGHT FINDS
WORK IN NEW FIELDS
Steiger & John Deere - Side by Side comparison
A Case IH STEIGER four-wheel drive
tractor is just as at home on a landleveling
site or commercial scraper crew
as it is in the farm fields. Whether you
need to pull scrapers, dig catfish ponds,
grade slopes, or level land for roads and
building sites, these tractors are specially
designed with added durability to handle the demands
of dirt-moving applications.
Ideal for an ejector-type scraper or a carry-all, special
scraper versions of the STX380, STX430, STX480, and STX530
tractors have heavy-duty axles, heavy-duty drawbars, built-in
frame weight and powerful engines with rugged transmissions.
Also standard on all scraper models are differential locks,
backup alarm, tow cable, and a beacon light.
For safety on the
farm and on the construction jobsite, these tractors are ROPS
certified and FOPS certified. An engine brake is available
on STX480 and STX530. This engine brake will slow the
tractor down providing less demand on the brakes.
With up to 530 rated horsepower (399 kW)
and up to 54 more horsepower (40 kW) on call,
the high-torque Cummins engine keeps on
lugging, even as the load fills. Speedy
hauling cycles help you move more
dirt in a day, boosting your business
productivity — and profitability.
Ready to be reliable, STX Series scraper tractors
have the reinforced, rugged chassis to make short work of
the heavy loads and nonstop cycles you demand.
Add weights to ballast for the best
performance with full scraper pans. The
powertrain can efficiently pull scrapers at
speeds above 4 mph (6.5 kph) with engine
speeds above 1700 RPM. A special
scraper quick hitch drawbar with tow
cable works well with configurations
for most popular scraper brands.
High-capacity hydraulics from a 55 GPM (208 LPM) system
to the Twin Flow™ system of 90 GPM (340 LPM), with up to nine
remotes provide the correct flow and pressure for laser
guidance or manual operation. For cutting to grade precisely
and automatically, the electronic hydraulic system of an STX
Series tractor will interface with popular laser-control systems,
eliminating the need for expensive add-on valves.
An integrated leveling system is available
to interface with laser-guidance systems
on remotes 1 and 3. Monitors mount
within easy reach in the comfortable cab
of an STX Series STEIGER tractor. No
need to buy extra valves — the hydraulics
respond automatically and accurately to
laser input or manual operation.

For added convenience, a tow cable is standard equipment on scraper tractors.
A backup alarm is also standard equipment to alert others on the job site when backing up the tractor.
High-tech electronics and high-capacity hydraulics provide an ideal interface for laser-guidance systems such as
