Introduction
Waltanna 44-250 Four-Wheel Drive Tractor
The Waltanna 44-250 is a heavy-duty, four-wheel drive tractor produced in Tarrington, Victoria, Australia, between 1981 and 1984. Belonging to the 44-200 and 44-300 series, this machine was designed for high-capacity agricultural operations requiring significant traction and power.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Caterpillar 3306T, a 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a displacement of 10.5 liters (638 ci). It produces 250 hp (186.4 kW) at a rated speed of 2200 RPM. The engine generates a maximum torque of 690 lb-ft (935.6 Nm) at 1400 RPM, providing consistent pulling power for heavy implements.
Transmission and Drive System
The 44-250 utilizes a gear-type transmission offering 20 forward and 4 reverse speeds, allowing operators to select precise ratios for varying field conditions. The chassis features articulated power steering, which enhances maneuverability for a vehicle of this scale, and is equipped with hydraulic disc brakes for reliable stopping power.
Hydraulics and Operator Environment
The standard hydraulic system features an open-center design with a pump flow capacity of 33.3 gpm (126.0 lpm) at a pressure of 2000 psi (137.9 bar). It includes three valves for implement control. The operator station consists of a factory-standard cab equipped with air-conditioning to maintain a controlled environment during extended field operations.
Dimensions and Weight
Built for stability in heavy-duty applications, the tractor weighs approximately 12,100 kg (26,676 lbs). It measures 606 cm in length and reaches a height of 325 cm to the top of the exhaust. The width is 408 cm when fitted with standard dual tires, which are specified as 23.1x30 for both front and rear axles.
Conclusion
The Waltanna 44-250 is a robust, large-frame tractor engineered for demanding traction tasks. Its combination of a high-torque Caterpillar engine, articulated steering, and substantial weight makes it a suitable choice for large-scale cultivation and heavy implement handling.
