Introduction

Case IH Steiger 420 Rowtrac Articulated Crawler Tractor

The Case IH Steiger 420 Rowtrac is a high-horsepower articulated crawler tractor produced between 2014 and 2023. Manufactured in Fargo, North Dakota, this machine is engineered for heavy-duty field operations, utilizing a track-based propulsion system to optimize traction and minimize soil compaction.

Engine and Powerplant

The tractor is powered by a 12.9-liter (787 ci) FPT 6-cylinder diesel engine. It features wastegate turbocharging with air-to-air aftercooling and an electronic high-pressure common rail fuel system. The engine is liquid-cooled, incorporates a viscous fan drive, and utilizes selective catalytic reduction (SCR) to meet Tier 4 emission standards. It delivers a rated power of 420 hp (313.2 kW) at 2100 RPM, with a maximum power output reaching 462 hp (344.5 kW).

Transmission and Drivetrain

The Steiger 420 Rowtrac employs a full power shift transmission providing 16 forward gears and 2 reverse gears. Its drivetrain is based on an articulated crawler configuration, utilizing planetary final drives. Steering is achieved via a hydraulic articulated system, and the tractor is equipped with hydraulic wet disc brakes for reliable stopping power, with optional hydraulic trailer brakes available.

Hydraulics and PTO

The hydraulic system is pressure flow compensated, offering a standard pump flow of 42 gpm (159.0 lpm), with optional High Flow (57 gpm / 215.7 lpm) or TwinFlow (113 gpm / 427.7 lpm) configurations. The tractor features 4 to 8 valves. The rear independent PTO operates at 1000 RPM and is equipped with a 1.75-inch shaft to accommodate high-torque implements.

Hitch and Dimensions

The rear hitch is a Category IVN type with a quick coupler and Category 4 drawbar, capable of a lift capacity of 20,000 lbs (9,072 kg) at 24 inches. The tractor rides on 16-inch tracks with a 160-inch wheelbase, resulting in a base weight of 43,510 lbs (19,736 kg).

Conclusion

The Case IH Steiger 420 Rowtrac is designed for large-scale agricultural tasks requiring significant drawbar pull and consistent power. Its combination of high-capacity hydraulic options, robust transmission, and articulated track system makes it well-suited for heavy tillage and large-scale planting operations where traction and flotation are critical.
