ENGINE DETAIL
The CaseIH Steiger 600 Quadtrac features a robust Iveco 6-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 12.9L, delivering a maximum power output of 660hp at 2100 RPM. Its two-stage turbocharging, coupled with intercooling and aftercooling, provides enhanced performance and efficiency, particularly beneficial for heavy tillage and demanding field operations. However, its Interim Tier 4 emissions system utilizing selective catalytic reduction (SCR) requires regular AdBlue replenishment, which can introduce additional operational costs.
