Introduction
Waltanna 44-300: High-Capacity Articulated 4WD Tractor
Produced between 1981 and 1984 in Tarrington, Victoria, the Waltanna 44-300 is a heavy-duty four-wheel-drive tractor engineered for large-scale agricultural operations. This model represents a period of robust Australian machinery manufacturing, focusing on high-torque output and sustained field performance.
Engine and Powertrain
The tractor is powered by a Cummins NTC-300 diesel engine, featuring six cylinders and a 14.0-liter displacement. This turbocharged and aftercooled unit delivers 300 horsepower at a rated speed of 2100 RPM. It provides a peak torque of 1000 lb-ft at 1300 RPM, allowing for significant pulling capacity during heavy tillage or draft applications.
Transmission and Maneuverability
The 44-300 offers two distinct transmission configurations to suit operational requirements: a 20-speed gear transmission with 4 reverse gears, or a 12-speed full power shift transmission with 2 reverse gears. Steering is achieved through an articulated power system, which, combined with the four-wheel-drive chassis and hydraulic disc brakes, ensures stable navigation of large implements.
Hydraulics and Dimensions
The hydraulic system utilizes a closed-center design with a pump flow of 30 gallons per minute (113.6 liters per minute) at 3000 psi. With a total system capacity of 35.7 gallons and three standard valves, the tractor is equipped to manage demanding hydraulic implements. The machine weighs approximately 27,558 lbs and spans 238.6 inches in length, providing the necessary weight-to-power ratio for heavy traction tasks.
Conclusion
The Waltanna 44-300 is a specialized 4WD tractor designed for high-acreage farming. Its combination of a high-torque Cummins engine, robust articulated frame, and versatile hydraulic system makes it a suited machine for primary cultivation and heavy-duty field work in agricultural environments.
