Snoopy meets the red Steiger

Robert's IH 3388 'Snoopy' posed with our STX 325 for Julian Cooksley, who was taking photos for an article (in Jan 2009 Classic Tractor magazine) comparing the two IH tractors made over 20 years apart. The Snoopy was innovative in having its steering pivot in front of the cab, and the 2002 STX has Accusteer where the first 10 degrees of articulation happens there too, if required.

Man, i know that Case IH owns the right to the Steiger name, but its almost a disgrace to call an STX series a Steiger. That is a damn good looking 2+2 though

I know what you mean, but times move on. I know which I'd rather drive for 12 or 14 hours! You could say the same about the new Cats........I thought our D8H 22A was the ultimate moling tractor, and it had a lot more pull than the Challenger 65Rob has now, but the STX would pull the hind legs off it on a greasy surface like an old muck-heap bottom!

Which would you rather drive for 12 - 14 hours.

I'd rather sit in a cool very quiet cab listening to a cd and changing gear with a rocker switch!  John.

The 3388 built by IH was nicknamed the "SNOOPY" or "ANT-EATER" because of its very long snout.

Good to see one here!
