Repair history and documentation would be my most important criteria. Things to look before on the Deere besides what I previously mentioned would be does it jump out of any gears, wear on axle bearings, hydraulic pump noisy? There are guys on this site that can cover these things in more detail. Things the Steiger does not have are optional draft sensitive 3 point hitch and fully integral independent PTO. I've operated a Steiger and a Deere 8640 (and 8430) and find the Deere more operator friendly and comfortable. Depending how the Steiger is outfitted in terms of engine and transmission it may have more raw power and maybe a tad more durable than the Deere. Just make sure you ask all the questions the responders bring up here. Steiger drive trains sometimes are quite modified from what came from the factory and lots of upgrades were available for the Deeres. I think an upgraded 8630 with good records is the best value for the money.
