Love those green Steigers drove my first one when I was 16 some 40 years ago thought I was king of the world
You were!!!
I’ve operated a Steiger 325. To be more specific that very tractor in the video. My dad and uncles bought that tractor brand new from the factory and sold it to this farmer in this video. Pretty neat!!
Very neat. 👍👍
How do you know that’s it? I don’t doubt you, I’m just curious.
Nellson, this IS the tractor his dad and uncles bought new. We have kept in touch since I bought it from them. I am very lucky to be this steigers caretaker after the original owners took such good care of it !
@@dougstierwalt1015 Haha thanks Doug! You’ve done a great job with restoring that tractor. It’s fun to know it’s being used rather then taking up our shed space!
Doug Stierwalt that’s neat! Like I said I didn’t doubt him. I just wondered if he knew you guys
I love these stieger tractors, have never ran or even been around one before but they are beautiful and w case buying/ using their technology that says alot about how good of a piece of equip they are. I have ran a 9380 qt for awhile, my boss man had one in the early 2000s up until about 2008 2009. I loved that tractor. It would handle our 12 row bedder or strip till like nothing I have ever seen, like it wasn't back there. I ripped the hitch off of the bedder once and two other ppl help us once and twice apiece until we got if beefed up right. I wish he wouldn't have sold that tractor, it outrides any other tractor they is on dirt or if anything soft. Never had any trouble out of it at all. I love that thing. Could be using it w big landlevel around pond I would be digging out w trackhoe and it would take the mud mostly we even a good footprint and go wherever w it. I didn't like having to use it for that but w pushing for time it was the only thing we had that would get out there and get the pond finished up before we were all spread out in the fields wide open. Best most comfortable tractors I ever been in. I liked the cab, how much seat would turn, the foot pegs, visibility, better than our new deere's now. Alot of things w those tractors is ahead of their time and they bout bulletproof
As a kid...these were the first 4wd tractors on the yard. Still brings back memories
Green Steigers really stood when they were new. It was a big deal to see one. 😁👍
Had two st 325 Steiger on my farm loved them. Ha over 20000 hrs on them when I sold them. I never had to put any money in the motors, trans, or anything. Three sets of tires on each and fuel and normal service. Best tractors ever made in my eyes.
Wow what a machine, I'm old enough to remember when those Alison transmissions were first put into trucks. the drivers loved them
I was fortunate enough to operate all the PTA series when I was younger. 225,310(2),325, Ford fw-30 (minus that 9 0 nothing poweplant) All were to retrofitted to 3406B Cats and any standard trans changed out for the Allison if not already equipped. Nose stretched out 15or 18 inches to accommodate the big cats
Tilling, bunker silo packing, corn planting, manure injection, etc.
This series was the heart and soul of a 10k head dairy..
Seeing and hearing one again literally makes my hair stand up..💕💕
Awesome to see these legends on TH-cam. Thanks man..
Love the no till setup. Great that the older tractors are still relevant in a no till auto steer farming system.🇦🇺👍
Buuut its strip-till???? Literally has till in the name🤷♀️
Cillian Galvin well I’m no corn farmer from the mid west, just a sheep and small grains farmer from the Wimmera in western Victoria Australia. What I see is the inter row left un touched and leaving the ground cover intact. Vastly different to full inversion with a disc or mouldboard plough. 🇦🇺👍
@@stevenstart8728 Of course, yes the interrow is left completely untouched but the row itself is cimpleteley tilled so its still considered tillage👍 Nevertheless its definetly a very good practise in some regions👌
I worked for a farmer back in 1985 thru 1992 and they had a PTA 325, we pulled a 15 shank chisel plow and a 54' field cultivator. Unbelievable power it had.
Very cool. What brand of Field Cultivator and Chisel did it run?
John deere field cultivator and DMI chisel plow
Very cool! I love to listen to the turbo spool up on this tractor.
I wish we would’ve had big metric duals on tractors like these, when we ran them.
My family farm used 320-450hp Woods-Copelands and a Tiger III 470 Steiger
Steiger with a straight pipe = best sound ever!
😁👍👍
Awesome as always BTP!! Thanks Jason. Two thumbs up 👍👍
as always, i cant get enough of seeing a Stieger Panther. Ty BTP
This PTA was a great find. It’s a nice variation that I have wanted to feature for quite s while.
The green ones were the best ones...
Agreed Before case bought em
Yeah back before case bought em
Great footage!!! Thanks!
Steigers are great sounding tractors👍😁 love the green machines😉👍
I have never really been around or driven any of these tractors, my uncle has a Steiger but not like this. I’ve always loved these tractors and I think they’re really cool
Thank you for watching. The PTA is a stand out. I am surprised more were not sold.
Another great video, thanks
You are one of my favorite TH-cam keep up the good Wok
Thank you I really appreciate hearing that I enjoy filming all these big tractors
That is one great sounding tractor!
My all time favorite tractor.
Great sounding steiger always wanted to drive one of those
I have only driven a gear drive Steiger myself. It would be neat to run a PTA.
Great sounding tractor.
What a beautiful sight for sore eyes
great video
My uncles had a automatic just like this one and St325 both turned up and had 855 Cummins in them. Awesome
👍👍
Again you nailed it Jason. Awsome instructive video as always. Greetings from eastern Quebec covered with 12 inches of snow, beurk ! hahahahhaa
Thank you for watching. Wow 12 inches. That is a winter wonderland for sure.
My favorite!!!!
😁👍
Love the grunt of a Cat 3406!
Very very nice jason
When I was younger I ran other steigers a 210 with 3208 cat ,ST225 ,ST 325 that was my early experience with them
Very nice line up.
Very nice 👍
Hi Jason that's a sweet sounding stiger
Hi. The PTA is a cool tractor.
WOW..... I've been around farming for most of my life and that's the first time I've heard of a automatic transmission on a farm tractor. Which we don't see many articulated 4wd tractors down in the deep south so that may be the reason but I've seen all kinds at farm shows and on the I-net but never an automatic..great video BTP 👍👍🚜🚜
The PTA is a cool tractor. Big Bud 4wds during this time period also used the Allison Automatic transmission.
@@bigtractorpower ok cool I watch welker farms too love the big buds
That makes more sense
This reminds me of when years ago and in the UK my father was sent out to put nitram on winter barley. It had snowed- a little unusual for our area- then rained, then froze, so we’re left with an solid, slick, field of ice. He went out and spread fertiliser on the ice. 2 weeks later, everything is still frozen solid, nothing is visible let alone growing and he I’d told to top it again.
I owned one and sold it... Wish I had it back she was a loyal tractor
Are you from Illinois?
Steiger 💪 power
Great sounding big tractor but don't care for the pea green color.... Thanks for the come along....
We have the Cummins powered version of this tractor. 10,000+ hrs and is relentless.
The transmission starts in 2nd gear, not 1st. If you need 1st gear whatever is behind is going to be destroyed
I still use a ST270. Snow plow, do tillage and seed with it.
There are some Steigers still working in my area but they are all a lot more faded than that one !
One of them farm the field next to my house
A Steiger with a real engine.
Lovely tractor, while I wouldn't describe the Steiger green as a beautiful colour it suits the tractor much better than the insipid FW60 white/blue colour scheme.
I so badly want a blue n white Steiger, preferably the FW60.
The first Steiger I ever ran was a 1977 FW60. It had a 903 Cummins V8 and was rated at 335 hp. I was 15 years old and felt like a boss in that tractor. Good memories!
👍👍
Thank you Scruffy.
Nice set up. What EGT's are you running? It looks overfueled starting at 3:30 minutes.
Monk Farmer this tractor has a 3406
Wow thats pretty light for the size of it.
This was pretty stand for weight in the early 80’s. The Steigers 10 years before were about 23,000 lbs. today the new ones are factory at 38,000 lbs and weight up to 60,000 lbs.
What type of work do they do in western ky, I want to start a farm down there but I don’t know if I should go no-till or light tillage for my first few years as a farmer?
You’re better off not even bothering nowadays
If you’re serious and have land,that depends on what the land was used for ,what you want to plant,and how the ground is
I wonder how they made the hydraulic fan and such work with a open center hydraulics system
Great video! Is there anyway for me to share a picture with you big tractor power?
You can email at toytractortimes@gmail.com
That looked like a great setup, machines equally matched, and the benefits of the auto box really obvious on that job. Pity you couldn’t have got in the cab on this one, but great video 👍.
It's about time to see a automatic steiger
I have been on the hunt for one for years. I grew up around several but they are hard to find these days.
@@bigtractorpower yeah I had a cm325 I sold .my cousin still has the tiger 470. The Panthers autos are hard to find no doubt
Our local dealer sold two green series 3 Steigers to a couple of brothers and one was the Tiger PTA 450 and the other was a Panther 325 or 350 not sure the smaller one was automatic, one condition of the sale is that both had to have a Sony compact color television installed. Back then around 1980 that was a huge amount of money for the pair !!!!!!!!!!!!
The farmer who farms my ground also had a PTA 325 or PTA 350, not sure which, his only complaint was fuel usage. Would love to drive one some day.
Great history. The mini TV was a big deal option for Steigers back in the day. The Tiger III was only available as an ST. There was an ST-450 and an ST-470. The PTA models ranged from 225-325 hp in the Bearcat, Cougar and Panther models.
If it had a 903 Cummins V8, it’s a 350
I lived in eastern Washington. Had both dry land and irrigated acres.
I put about 1500 hours a year on each. Also had a John Deere 7520 that did a good job also. Had a 14 foot blade on it and also used the pro for chopping and grain cart.
Nice tractor.
I made parts for them 40 years ago
I'd sure like to hear your experiences.
Have a steiger cougar that dad got years ago.
Very nice.
Like 👏👏👍👍💪💪💪🚜🚜🇧🇷🇧🇷
😁👍👍
Have a steiger pta 325 and a pt 225 Bearcats good cheap horsepower
👍👍👍
Lots of those around Colorado when there where new
👍👍
Probably thanks in part to Lewton
Panthers with the 3406 would out work and out last all other with the exception of the 1150 and 3408 powered tractors in there day
Will the corn be planted in the same path as the fertilizer was placed ???
Its not necessary to do that. The corn roots will find the band of fertilizer under the surface.
@@dmc3742 OK thanks for your reply !
@@dmc3742 we will plant right back into these strips. The soil will be warm and drier than straight no till and the fertilizer is right below the corn seed in the strip.
@@dougstierwalt1015 Advantage of having GPS I assume. The guidance should keep you right on track.
We have an 1981 st 325 we pull a 34ft Case IH 330 true tandem with
Very cool. One of the all time great tractors in my book.
bigtractorpower we like it it still works 2-3 thousand acres a year for us we are steiger all the way we have 3 Steiger tractors we are from southern Illinois if your ever in our area stop in if you want
Trying to understand, how you can talk about loosening of the soil, when you run a tractor with absolutely no give in the tyres = too much airpressure 😳😳😳.
Now that is a real Steiger not one of those red Steigers
👍👍
A red one is as real as any to my mind
I'm surprised the Ole girl has the hydraulic capacity to operate the dry fertilizer delivery system and still run everything thing else ! Tractors of that age were usually lacking in that department !!! Replacing a quarter million dollar modern tractor though !!!
It could be tweaked out. That’s the beauty of the older tractors
Stop tilling
Why? In these soil conditions it helps warm the soil in the spring. It is a good compromise between conventional tillage and no till.
