Case IH Red Power Day
Anniversary Quadtrac
Developed from the articulated tractor knowledge inherited by Case IH when it acquired Steiger and its Fargo , North Dakota factory in 1986 , Quadtrac development began in the late 1980s , when engineers began studying headland-scrubbing and traction-loss associated with turning twin-track differentiallysteered rubber tracked crawlers , plus loss of ground contact when traversing undulating ground . The first public showing of a Quadtrac prototype was at the 1992 US Farm Progress Show . Development work included cable-reinforced tracks and a patented sealed mid-roller design .
Based on a 360hp 9370 tractor , the production Quadtrac was launched in September 1996 , also at the US Farm Progress Show , this time held in Amana , Iowa . The machine then made its European debut the following February at the SIMA show in Paris .
In 1998 , the 360hp Quadtrac was joined by a 400hp model ,
the two now being numbered as the 9370 and 9380 . Two years later the range was replaced by an all-new 375- 440hp STX line with new cab and styling . Since then , as well as finding favour on large farms worldwide , Quadtracs have also been used to twice break the world 24-hour ploughing record , most recently in 2005 , when an STX500 and Gregoire Besson 20-furrow reversible covered 320.5ha ( 792ac ). Further records achieved have included a charity gathering on July 28 , 2012 , of 50 working Quadtracs in one UK field to raise money for Cancer Research .
Today , the range offered to European farmers spans five models from 525-692hp ( max ), and while competitive machines are now available , Quadtracs retain unique design features such as their triple mid-roller design for full load bearing along the track , plus proven drivetrains and 20 years of manufacturer and dealer knowledge .
