Case IH Quadtrac – 20 Years of Being on Track
Case IH will celebrate 20 years of its industry-leading Quadtrac range at this year’s LAMMA show - The first Case IH Quadtrac was shown to US farmers in 1995.
The most powerful series production tractors in the world, the Case IH Quadtrac has always been the most successful when it comes to delivering the highest pulling power for wide working widths while implementing efficient, ground-conserving tillage and drilling concepts.
Case Quadtrac
When the first Quadtrac was sold in the UK it quickly set the industry benchmark in terms of lugging power, traction, protecting the ground and fuel efficiency - appreciated by arable farmers around the world for its productivity, reliability and high level of driving comfort.
To date, 540 of the award-winning range have been sold in the UK – the first of which was used on a large arable farm in Lincoln.
The latest generation includes the top-of-the-range Quadtrac 620, which has a power rating of 628 hp and a maximum power output of 692 hp. Four independently driven tracks offer a constant contact area of more than 5.6 square metres – around 25% more than other tractors in this class. It adds up to increased traction, reduced ground pressure and virtually zero slip, even in damp or difficult conditions.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary, the Case IH stand at LAMMA will feature an early Quadtrac 9370, along with other prodcuts in its portfoilo including a Magnum 380 CVX Rowtrac - voted ‘Tractor of the Year 2015’. Its Axial Flow 140 and 240 combines – both of which are available in tracked versions – will also be showcased.
There will also be a cake cutting by Helen Rainthorpe, whose father, John, was among the first farmers in the UK to use a Quadtrac. She also organised the Quadtrac Guiness World record in 2012, which took place at Hemswell Cliff, Lincolnshire, and involved 50 Quadtracs – setting a record for the most machines cultivating on one field for five minutes.
