Waltanna

During the 1970s and 80s, the Waltanna company crafted robust, four-wheel drive tractors in the agricultural heartland of southern Australia. The brainchild of Victorian farmer James Nagorcka, Waltanna began as a personal project – his initial tractor taking shape right on his own property in 1975. Expanding over the decade, by the 1980s Waltanna presented a diverse selection of tractor models. A significant partnership saw Ford commission Waltanna to produce the Ford FW series of four-wheel drive tractors during the mid-1980s. However, evolving market dynamics prompted Nagorcka to cease tractor manufacturing in 1989, redirecting his energies toward alternative business opportunities.
