Hagen Brothers farms,Goodrich ND | I owned an early Versatile (68) and still have a pair of older Steigers (84 model series 4 Panther and 85 1000 series Cougar. Both brands were good tractors, all Cummins powered. The old manual trans Versy is hands down easier to change a clutch, they appear to have a lower profile and ride better.
The Steigers are brute tough with much thicker metal in things like frame and fenders, a little tougher to service than the Versy, but not much You rarely have to add ballast to a Steiger, you got it in the form of thick steel. |
