The tractors are built in Case IH's plant in Fargo, North Dakota, where already 50,000 units of this line were built.
This tractor line is powered by engines with 368 hp (274 kW) to 589 hp (439 kW). They are available with Quadtracs or tires and are also available from New Holland as model TJ or T9000.
In 2007, the STX500 Quadtrac tractor was featured on the television series Top Gear, where presenter Richard Hammond chose the STX Steiger for some of the challenges, (eventually including ploughing.) It was lapped around the Top Gear Test Track by The Stig, finishing in a time of 4:49.1, which is the slowest lap ever round the track. In 2005 that model of tractor broke the 24-hour ploughing World Record, turning 792 acres (3.21 km2) of farmland in just 24 hours.
