These improvements are made possible through all-new Stage V engine upgrades that improve engine response time by 50% while maintaining long service intervals. An updated fuel system with next-generation fuel injection equipment along with a new fuel lift pump improve and simplify fuel supply routing, while cooling and ventilation enhancements allow for efficiency at any horsepower. At the same time, Steiger series tractors equipped with AFS Connect offer lower emissions, helping operators remain environmentally responsible while maximizing uptime and reducing operational costs.  

These power updates come with two proven transmission options. Operators will once again be able to choose between the Patented Diesel-Saver Automated Productivity Management (APM) PowerDrive powershift transmission — which remains an industry leader in mechanical power and a perfect fit for tasks such as tillage and continuous high draft loads — and the innovative CVXDrive continuously variable transmission for effortless power transfer at any speed.

 With new models providing extensive horsepower, comfort and data management improvements, the updated AFS Connect Steiger tractor lineup offers greater customization and efficiency than ever before.
