STEINER 525

[ernemats]

Does anyone have a Steiner 525 with diesel engine. I would like to know some information about it, like can dual wheels be put on it and with just the single wheels what is the maximum slope that can be safely mowed. Also what size mower can it handle and is there any sites on the internet that gives detailed information on Steiners?

I don't own one, but the Operators Manual can be found at this link

and the slope information is on Page 4-5. Basically the maximum slope is 30 degrees going straight up and down and 25 degrees sideways.

Dual wheels were not available. This tractor is no longer in production.

The Steiner website for current products is Steiner Tractors and Attachments

I drove some distance last winter to try one of these, never having seen one before. I was quite impressed, thinking that some of the flaws of my 430 MAX had been addressed in this machine. Foot controls, not crunching your knees in a turn and a little more HP. However, then I realized that the tractor footprint was wider then some of my attachments, and the attraction faded quickly. Beyond that, for the right application, like maybe a 6 foot mower, I am guessing it is a great machine.

My dealer says to avoid the 525 like the plague...it was a horrible machine... He sold and services thousands of stieners and ventracs ..and I've come to trust his judgement thru years of good advice and knowledge.

My son just bought one. What kind of problems did they have?
