I have a Steiger Bearcat 270 w/Caterpillar 3306 in it. I have a 13 shank, 16 foot JD #712 disc chisel and a IH #800 9-18's plow for it. On the chisel plow doing 7 acres an hour here in central Wisconsin clay soils it will use about 1 1/4 gallons per acre, sometimes a little less. On the moldboard plow doing 5 1/5 to 6 acres an hour will use 1.5 to 1.7 gallons an acre. Repairs and maintenance is basically oil and filters. Any parts if ever needed are Caterpillar and Spicer-- available from heavy truck parts. Anything that is Steiger specific comes from Case-IH. Hope this helps. Just do not get a tractor with the Cummins 903 V8 or the big V8 as in IH 4586. They are high RPM motors and will take a lot of fuel. Also they expensive motors to repair.
