Since Case and Stieger merged the new company has consolidated its production and for the wide open prairie the multi-wheelled Stieger versions have been the main stay of Case farm sales. The big and most popular unit is the twelve wheeled 9380. Rick Martin the agricultural territory manager for Swift Current's Redhead Equipment Ltd. said that the Quad Trac version of the 9380 was extremely popular in the United States. Apparently the tracked version of this machine creates less soil disturbance and actually can out pull the twelve wheeled versions simply because it has more surface contact.

The use of tracked equipment for field work is not new but what is new is the popularity of it with Cat doing quite well with their full tracked system. The advantage of using a tracked vehicle is that in the environment of today where trash cover and low levels of tillage are so important to efficient land management. By reducing the amount of compaction and still allowing the tractor to pull massive implements there is a tangible improvement in productivity. The Quad Trac's swiveling chassis produced even less disturbance than the Cat which, though using rubber tracks still has to use braking to turn and throws up some dirt as it does so.

Turbocharged and aftercooled, the dependable, 360 SAE gross engine horsepower Cummins N14 engine features the perfect blend of torque rise, power and fuel efficiency. The engine also features a new, electronic fuel control.

You get an unmatched view to the front, sides and rear from the cab of a QUADTRAC tractor with 51 square feet of glass. Likewide, visibility through the rear window gives you an unobstructed view for implement hookup.

These tractors can be equipped with some nice extras, including specialty mirrors and lights. Additional rear-view mirrors, now part of the deluxe cab option, are mounted on the external ROPS posts and provide added visibility for wide implements or grain carts. Also part of the deluxe cab option, as well as part of the optional field lighting package, are two more field lights on the nose of the tractor for improved night-time operation.
