Introduction

Case IH Steiger 435QT Articulated Crawler Tractor

The Case IH Steiger 435QT is a high-horsepower articulated crawler tractor produced between 2008 and 2010. Manufactured in Fargo, North Dakota, this machine is engineered for large-scale agricultural operations requiring significant traction and heavy-duty performance.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a 12.9-liter, 6-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with 24 valves. It delivers a rated power of 435 hp at 2000 RPM, with a maximum power output reaching 478 hp. The engine features a compression ratio of 16.5:1 and is Tier 3 emissions compliant. Maintenance features include an air cleaner with dual paper elements and an oil capacity of 31.0 liters.

Transmission and Drive System

The Steiger 435QT utilizes an articulated crawler drive configuration, equipped with 30-inch tracks to maximize surface contact and minimize soil compaction. Power is managed through a powershift transmission providing 16 forward and 2 reverse gears. Steering is facilitated by a hydrostatic power system, and braking is handled by integrated hydraulic wet disc brakes.

Hydraulics and Hitch

The hydraulic system is designed for high-demand implements, offering a total flow of 40 gpm, with optional configurations reaching 55 gpm (High-Flow) or up to 90 gpm (Twin-Flow). The tractor includes 4 to 5 hydraulic valves and a Category 4N rear hitch capable of lifting 19,728 lbs at 24 inches behind the lift point.

Operator Environment and Electrical

The operator station features a standard cab equipped with heating and air conditioning, with a luxury cab option available for increased comfort. The electrical system operates on a 12-volt architecture, supported by two batteries with a 1000 CCA rating and a 175-amp charging system.
