Introduction
Waltanna 4-175 Four-Wheel Drive Tractor
The Waltanna 4-175 is a heavy-duty four-wheel drive tractor manufactured in Tarrington, Victoria, Australia, between 1978 and 1981. Designed for large-scale agricultural operations, this machine emphasizes mechanical reliability and raw pulling capacity within the 4-200 series.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Caterpillar 3208 engine, an 8-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel unit with a 10.4-liter displacement. It generates 175 horsepower (130.5 kW) and reaches a peak torque of 539.7 Nm at 1400 RPM. This engine configuration is optimized for high-torque applications, maintaining consistent power delivery across an operating range of 1400 to 2800 RPM.
Transmission and Maneuverability
Power is transferred to the ground via a Spicer gear transmission offering 10 forward speeds and 2 reverse speeds. To manage its significant size, the 4-175 utilizes articulated power steering, which allows for better turning geometry and maneuverability compared to conventional rigid-frame tractors of similar dimensions.
Hydraulics and Dimensions
The hydraulic system features a pump flow of 115.1 liters per minute with a reservoir capacity of 65.9 liters, providing sufficient flow for demanding implements. The tractor has an operating weight of 8,150 kg, supported by 23.1x30 tires on both the front and rear axles. It measures 564 cm in length and 248 cm in width, with an exhaust height reaching 325 cm.
Operator Environment
The 4-175 comes standard with an enclosed cab featuring integrated air conditioning. This design choice addresses the need for operator comfort during long operational hours in demanding field conditions.
Conclusion
The Waltanna 4-175 is a robust, purpose-built tractor tailored for heavy traction and cultivation tasks. Its combination of a Caterpillar powertrain, articulated steering, and substantial weight makes it a dependable piece of machinery for intensive agricultural environments.
