HI Everyone,
Please pardon my blatant cut and paste here. I am also interested in ag
machinery and know we have several Aussie members. I cut this from an antique
tractor forum and thought I would pass it on for amusement/comments.
"The Caldwell brothers started working on a four-wheel drive tractor
around 1906, they later joined Henry Vale to form Caldwell-Vale
Motors. Around 1910 they introduced what must have been one of the
worlds first tractors with four-wheel drive and four wheel power
steering. They also built trucks with the same configuration to haul
road trains in the outback. A car with four-wheel drive, four-wheel
power steering was also produced. Due to financial reasons and a law
suit the innovative company was taken over and production of these
advanced tractors ceased around 1916. "
Hats off the the creative folks from Australia.
