Tough tractor
With four engine options ranging from 24.8 to 40 horsepower, the Steiner 440 tractor uses four-wheel drive and all-wheel traction to tackle any terrain. The 440 features a non- permeable all-steel fuel tank, four halogen-quartz headlights, 5-gallon- capacity hydraulic oil reservoir and optional Category 1 three-point hitch. In addition to their current tractor attachments, Steiner will be releasing attachments designed specifi cally for the 440 tractors soon. For more infor-
