It’s truly the “Year of the Tractor” for Case IH as the company announces seven new or redesigned tractor models at this year’s Farm Progress Show. The headliner, the new Steiger® 715 Quadtrac, is the company’s most powerful tractor ever with a 715 horsepower-rated, 778 peak horsepower engine1. The Steiger 715 sets a new bar for performance, delivering more power to the ground in a nimble four-track design.
In Farmall’s 100th year, the brand also provided a glimpse of what’s in store for the next century of Farmall by unveiling the Farmall® 75C Electric. This new tractor is transforming the industry with the smartest electric tractor. The Farmall 75C Electric offers diesel-like performance with an average 4-hour run time and fast recharging, plus significant operational savings.
