I just bought a Steiger Super Wildcat to pull a 6 yard scraper, i'm planning on digging out my pond with it.

We have a Steiger bearcat 210hp CAT 3208 on a 7 yard miskin that we maintain field drains/ ditches with and handles it very well , Nicer than some of our bigger tractors i think as the trans is easier to shift on the move . We dont use it for heavy field work any more but the tractors are strong enough just the V8 was their downfall ...keep the rpm's up/gears down and dont lug it too much. You gotta nurse those V8's or they will throw up!.
There are lots of these locally on smaller farms and in hedgerows with all kinds of engines in them ...neighbour has a wildcat with a deutz air cooled V8 in it .
I'm surprised to hear that yours shifts easy, my steiger will shift sometimes when its moving(very seldom), but usually I have to shut it down and then start the engine with the tractor in the gear that I want. Maybe my clutch needs adjusting?

Shifts beautiful , as you will see in my pics i haul semi trailers with hay behind it . And why i use it on the dirt scraper as it will shift up to travel and dump to box then back into low to fill the box. I do like verstiles a lot more but shifting with them is more of an almost stationary job !
Bearcat will shift up the gears on the road like a truck !
