Design and operation

The Case Steiger 500 is a heavy-duty tractor designed to meet the needs of the market, as well as the requests of Case's potential customers. Of course, this is a powerful car with unique traction characteristics. The developers have placed the main emphasis on torque and off-road capability rather than the top speed, which is around 40 km/h, like most other models. The maximum potential of this tractor can be revealed in large-scale and labor-intensive agricultural, construction or rescue work. This is facilitated by the use of original technical innovations. Advanced body design, balanced characteristics and a whole range of electronic systems - all this made the Case Steiger 500 one of the leaders among heavy wheeled station wagons.

Brief performance properties:

• High productivity for all types of field operations
• Increased towing power and torque
• Easy maintenance and good maintainability
• Outstanding tractor performance parameters are maintained throughout the entire service life of the product

The Case Steiger 500 tractor can, without fear, be subjected to extreme loads - both on country paths and in severe off-road conditions with deep ruts, muddy soil and other obstacles. Of course, such high cross-country ability was made possible thanks to dual wheels. At the same time, the wheels themselves have impressive dimensions and are endowed with a deep tread pattern. Due to this, the tractor confidently clings to slippery wet soil, and the huge diameter of the tires allows it to overcome the deepest obstacles. Support for a large number of attachment options allows you to install a variety of tools to perform tasks in different fields of activity - from earthmoving and construction work to rescue operations. In addition, you can install a ballast weight, which will ensure a smooth ride, maneuverability and optimal load distribution along the axles. The weight of the ballast weight can be changed depending on the weight and type of attachments:

1. The tractor turned out to be relatively small, and its dimensions are quite consistent with the heavy class. The main implement of the tractor is designed for a load capacity of 20 tons. Working with such voluminous loads is made possible thanks to the use of advanced control systems, as well as high-strength moving modules. The hydraulically controlled articulated frame deserves special attention. Its rotation angle can reach 13 degrees. Of course, this improved the already good maneuverability of the machine, which is very important when performing work in cramped conditions
2. The power plant is a diesel V6 FPT Cursor 13, generating over 540 horsepower and providing a torque of 2,300 N/m. The working volume of the power plant is 12.9 liters. The power unit is equipped with auxiliary electronics, which ensure economical consumption and are environmentally friendly. For example, let's pay attention to an ideally configured pump-injector injection. Its operating efficiency is complemented by proprietary Case IH SCR technology, which is responsible for reducing fuel consumption and reducing harmful emissions. In addition, the motor is equipped with effective liquid cooling, thanks to which you can work at maximum speed for a long time without fear.
3. The Full Poser Shit Transmission is a proven basic transmission. It has 16 forward gears and two reverse gears. This number of speeds made it possible to achieve the best maneuverability, smoothness and a large margin of safety. The driver is given the opportunity to choose the most optimal speed mode depending on the load. Speeds are switched manually, and the center differential lock is adjusted manually or automatically. Please note that the ability to work with absolutely any attachment – ​​mounted, trailed and stationary – is provided by a coupling device with a power take-off mechanism. Its maximum speed is up to 1000 rpm. In addition, the capabilities of the tractor chassis are expanded due to all-wheel drive and high ground clearance
4. An axial piston hydraulic pump is an integral component of the tractor, ensuring stability of the operating pressure in the machine’s hydraulic system. Its productivity is up to 216 liters of liquid per minute. The standard lifting device is capable of handling loads weighing up to 2.4 and 5 tons, depending on the modification. At the same time, the lifting capacity of the three-wheel rear linkage of category III/IV reaches 9 tons
5. The Case Steiger 500 tractor is equipped with a functional cabin that has the current standard of protection against corrosion and other external influences. Robust all-metal construction made of high-strength alloy, multi-layer heat and noise insulation - all this ensures safe and reliable operation in harsh Russian conditions. The cabin design includes a climate system, as well as ergonomic controls. For example, consider the convenient and compact joystick located on the right handle of the driver’s seat. With its help you can control the main working parts of the tractor, which is very convenient. The seat and steering column can be adjusted depending on the operator’s build and adjusted to his height and dimensions. Wide glass area, including an available sunroof, provides ideal visibility within the permissible working area
6. Built-in safety system protects both the tractor and the operator from ill-considered actions. For example, if the permissible load is exceeded, the limiter is triggered. In extreme cases, the operator may intervene in the situation. This or that problem is detected automatically and displayed on the central touch display. In addition, you can find out about a malfunction using a sound signal. Thus, the driver will always be aware of all events happening with the tractor. The degree of load, the position of the implement, temperature and oil pressure control - all these and other indicators are displayed on the touch screen.

Digitalization and accelerated information exchange

Data exchange is based on simple and easy-to-use AFS Connect technology. It is an integral part of the tractor control system and allows you to achieve new levels of performance. AFS Connect is based on three system components:

• AFS Pro 1200 display provides superior visibility day and night, with four channels for connecting external cameras, Bluetooth® wireless technology for pairing with mobile devices, and remote display connectivity;
• The AFS Vision Pro operating system is as easy to use as your smartphone or tablet. Interaction with the system is carried out using the touch display or the rotary selector handle;=
• AFS Vector Pro receiver optimizes signal correction parameters, from basic (WAAS and AFS 1) to medium (AFS 2) and high (RTK and AFS RTK+) accuracy levels;
• “The AFS Pro 1200 display is a key component in tractor control. You can move, drag and scale any objects you see on the display.

Reviews

• Yaroslav, Kyiv. Our utilities are happy with this tractor. The equipment is capable of performing urban and agricultural tasks, because various mounted implements can be connected to the tractor. A reliable device for every day, but it requires high-quality fuel, and under load it can overheat, especially in hot weather.
• Dmitry, Novosibirsk. Case Steiger 500 is a compact and productive tractor with dual wheels. You can connect any attachment to the machine, and work anywhere - digging the ground or transporting loads, clearing areas of construction and household waste, dragging heavy concrete structures. At the moment, our equipment works in public utilities and performs various tasks. The tractor was purchased second-hand and has now been in operation for more than five years. The cooling system began to work worse, the engine began to overheat. The gearbox works late, which is why the dynamics suffer, but this is not critical for the tractor. Steiger is very expensive to maintain.

Remote support

The AFS Connect portal is a cloud-based interface for accessing the systems of the new tractor series. It allows farm managers to accurately manage their organization, fleet, and data from a desktop or mobile device from anywhere without having to worry about securely transferring data to and from the cloud. Users can log into AFS Connect and see live field operations, fleet information, agronomic data and more in real time, as if they were in the cab of each machine.

Additional communication capabilities also provide a variety of support functions, reducing downtime and allowing operators to spend more time on field work. The remote viewing feature allows a plant manager or dealer employee to see what the operator sees on the new AFS Pro 1200 in-cab display and provide assistance or training. Dealers are also provided with a remote service support and diagnostic function to promptly determine the need for maintenance and supply the necessary spare parts without visiting the farm. Now dealers can remotely update software directly on the tractor using wireless communication.
