In Early February, Case IH revealed it will be giving operators of model year 2025 Steiger four-wheel drive Quadtrac tractors an option for a smoother ride, especially during road transport.
The machines will also spend less time on the road with a faster 40 km-h travel speed.
Those advantages will come thanks to the new HDS suspension system for the track modules, which will be an option on 2025 Steiger Quadtracs.
“We have a new track system on the Steiger four-wheel drive,” said Morgan Dietrich, tractor segment lead for Case IH in North America.

Advanced field robotics, including laser and high-voltage electricity, is transforming agriculture with AI-driven precision, lower labour costs, and reduced soil disturbance.
“At the National Farm Machinery show we released the HDS, Heavy Duty Suspension. Now we have a fully active hydraulic suspension system on our Steigers with a faster transport speed.
“We have a longer track that helps with heat dissipation. And the big thing there is long-term durability of not only the tractor, but the operator. We have a 40 percent reduction in vibration at the operator’s seat in transport. We’re taking those big jolts and jostles out of the whole tractor. We’re sucking it up in that suspension system of the tracks.”
HDS has greaseless design with a load-sharing hydraulic suspension and self-tensioning tracks. The brand expects to begin accepting model year 2025 tractor orders around this June.
