Just have their little quirks. Versatile a little handier, simpler-- the RABA axles have more parts and can cost more to repair- plus a lot more steel to handle.

The electrical bulkhead connectors on Steigers are a PITA. Prefer the Versy Trans to the road ranger.

Had problems with the hyd pump on PT270 with the 3306 motor- didn't like running Valmar units. Also hydraulics on Steigers tend to be leaky.

The big complaint - the air conditioner on Steiger blows out on your knee and elbow and took me 7 yrs to get rid of the arthritis- Versy has a nice cool breeze right in face- ah.

Story used to be that the green was worth more in States, red more in Canada.

Now I would say the one in best condition would be the best tractor- so close you aren't going to lose going either way.


Oh, I nearly forgot - the Steiger is one step higher than versy- if you are getting on and off a lot it counts up by the end of the day!

See- there are real important differences between these tractors.
