Titan Tractors is the name used by Power Mart Incorporated of Fargo, North Dakota, for a number of Re-manufactured tractors they built from the 1990s based on used Steiger and Versatile high horsepower tractors.
History
Jack Johnson, the former president of Steiger, formed Titan Tractors of Fargo, North Dakota in the early 1990's to offer the regions farmers abasic solid 4wd tractor at a reasonable cost as the original Steiger tractors had. His concept was to take in high hours used Steiger 4wd tractors and rebuild them.
Titan Tractors were short lived because the same potential strengths of Titans were their ultimate downfall.
The old tractors were stripped down and rebuilt with new or reconditioned power trains and engines froma number of top brands such as Caterpillar Inc., Cummins and Detroit Diesel. New modern electrics and instrumentation replaced the original basic systems fitted in new cabs with tinted glass and air conditioning etc. Modern hydraulic systems and linkages added to operated today's sophisticated implement trains.
Because old Steiger components were used, and was time spent repairing the old chassis, it slowed down production efficiency, raising the overall costs. The production problems caused the Titan price to be very close to the price of current model new tractors of similar horsepower. It is said that only 12 Titan models rolled out of 4050 West Main Avenue, Fargo, North Dakota

What an amazing tractor. I love the sound and the looks of it.

[@jereldbarnhold2691]

Gert Ladefoged I hate the look it looks awful it shouldn’t even be called titan it should be called Steiger because that’s what it is painting it and putting glass windows in the door doesn’t make it a different tractor I hate the glass on the door

[@1shelver]

they were a refurbished steiger.

[@LowEndPCGamer100]

what years were these made, ive never seen a tractor of any other brand than ford with a steiger design

[@alexveldhuis6004]

Titan are based in Fargo near the Steiger factory and remanufacture/rebuild/refurbish old Steiger tractors. They are essentially Steigers but since they are not factory Steigers, they rebrand them Titan. They also paint them a less vomity colour. Some say that as a Steiger, they must be green and I get that, but the original colour is just awful.

[@farmyardfab]

And stiegers were painted nearly every color they built tractors for allis charmers international new holland and we’re eventually bought by case IH. This tractor was painted red and sold as the 9190 for case IH

I swear I never see gps of any sort on 4wd in America unless it came with it. Get with the times southern neighbours. I don’t know hardly know of 4wd ran up here that doesn’t at least have a basic light bar gps that still requires hand steering, let alone auto steer
