Want the best tractors working your fields? Case IH Steiger 715 Wins Tractor of the Year

Operators wanting the best tractors to deliver the best outcomes for their business may consider the recently crowned Tractor of the Year for 2025 – the Case IH Steiger Quadtrac 715. This top model in Case’s range took out the award in the High Power Category at the International Agricultural and Gardening Machinery Exhibition (EIMA), held in Bologna Italy in November. The Quadtrac also won an EIMA Technical Innovation Award.

The awards are judged by a panel of farm machinery journalists from across Europe. Their assessments are based on a range of features including fuel efficiency, engine performance, emissions standards, reliability and transmission smoothness. According to the judges, the decision to name the 715 as the winner, reflected its ergonomics, performance, environmental care and connectivity.

The Quadtrac 715 is designed to assist large-scale agri operations to cover ground as effectively as efficiently as possible while minimising fuel consumption, soil compaction and labour.

Best Tractors – Case IH Steiger Quadtrac 715

The Steiger Quadtrac 715 features a FPT Cursor 16 TST (twin stage turbo) engine to produce 778HP at 1900rpm, PowerDrive transmission to minimise torque loss, and a powershuttle switch mounted on the multi-controller to control driving direction.

This top of the range model has a new heavy-duty undercarriage featuring a bigger drive wheel, designed to deliver maximum positive drive with increased lug engagement. Traction is increased with the larger footprint which also reduces compaction of the soil.

A number of key features have been included to minimise servicing time – auto track tensioning, clear view oil caps, maintenance free pins and bushings and greasing points on the undercarriage. The 715 includes a range of innovations including configurable buttons which allow the operator to set-up their controls to suit their specific preferences. A new package for the lighting provides increased illumination and the auto pivoting steps provide convenience for operators. This new model includes auto steering which is compatible with Case’s monitoring app. Cabin comfort is addressed with an impressive infotainment system.

The 715 is the most powerful model in the Steiger series and can suit many operators with large-scale operations. For operators requiring less power, check out the full tractor range from Case IH at your local dealership.

EIMA also announced winners in other tractor categories. The Fendt 620 Vario DP won the mid-power segment with its iD engine concept heading the list of features which impressed judges. The Utility Award went to the Steyr 4120 Plus and a sustainable award to the Fendt e107, a full-electric tractor. A new category was also introduced for the robotic tractor of the year. This was awarded to the AgXeed 5.115T2.

Cost-effective Financing Options for the Best Tractors

Acquiring new machinery can be an effective means for increasing output and efficiency and business performance. But realistically, any investment in new machinery must be cost-effective and affordable, with the decision to invest often coming down to the financing. Operators wanting the best tractors to deliver increased productivity and efficiency can source cost-effective tractors loans from Jade Equipment Finance. 

The first step in securing the most effective tractor finance is to select the credit facility that is the best match with the business set-up, accounting practices and overall financial objectives. Businesses using the accruals method of accounting can select from Lease, Rent-to-Own and Commercial Hire Purchase. Businesses that use the cash method of accounting can finance machinery with either Chattel Mortgage or Commercial Hire Purchase.

With all asset acquisition credit facilities, the tractor is accepted as security against the loan. Subject to lender approval, businesses can be approved to borrow 100% of the purchase price. This may include the machine and other attachments, systems and applications included with the purchase. This may provide an effective way to update assets without impacting current funds to make a significant deposit.

With the credit facility selected, we focus on sourcing the most competitive interest rates and most flexible terms to deliver a repayment schedule that will work with cash flow and towards meeting ROI targets. Ensuring agricultural operators can cost-effectively acquire the latest machinery to boost their performance, efficiency and productivity.
