The register lists here 8 versions with 89 to 410 kW (120 to 550 hp), with diesel engines.
Waltanna is among the smaller Australian niche makers of big tractors that, alongside international brands such as Steiger and Versatile, are built for the vast areas of Australian farming, where high drawbar pull and long service intervals are decisive. These four-wheel-drive tractors typically work broadacre cropping country in states such as New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia, pulling wide cultivation, seeding and spraying equipment across large paddocks.
On these big tractors, operating hours and the condition of the Caterpillar engine, the articulation joint and four-wheel drive, tyre condition on the twin tyres typical of the area load, and hydraulics and electrics count; parts run through the Caterpillar engine trade and specialist farm-machinery dealers in Australia.
