The 50-year history of the Steiger tractors began at the Steiger family farm in Red Lake Falls, Minnesota. John Steiger and his sons Douglas and Maurice decided that the best way to meet the need for a more powerful tractor was to build one. They were so successful that neighbors began asking for their own. The Steigers produced the first five models in their family barn.

Demand soon outstripped the available capacity, and production moved to Fargo, N.D. Over time, production grew into new facilities and reached global markets, and technical improvements led to greater performance enhancements.

Among the Steiger models introduced over the years is the Steiger Quadtrac, an agricultural innovation that remains unmatched anywhere in the industry. In March 2005, the Plowing World Record was broken by a Case IH Steiger STX500 Quadtrac tractor, plowing 793 acres (321 hectares) in just 24 hours. The 2008 model year also marks the 10th anniversary for the Quadtrac.

This Gold Signature Edition Steiger tractor is one of just 50 being built by Case IH to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Steiger tractors in 2008. The special edition will be on display at fall farm shows and available next year at selected Case IH dealerships.

In a move designed to excite both dealers and customers, Case IH will unveil "Gold Signature Edition" Steiger and Magnum tractors at the 2007 Farm Progress Show. Sporting a distinctive and contemporary gold and red paint scheme, these limited edition tractors will carry commemorative decals, each personally signed by Randy Baker, president of Case IH.
