Valmet
Rooted in Finland's industrial heritage, Valmet—originally established as the State Metal Factory—began its journey as an arms producer before venturing into the agricultural sector with the introduction of tractors in 1951. By 1958, Valmet’s reach extended internationally through exports, and a manufacturing facility was established in Brazil just two years later, in 1960. A pivotal collaboration with Volvo in 1979 led to the creation of tractors branded as Volvo BM Valmet. Valmet subsequently acquired Volvo's stake in 1985, and a manufacturing partnership with Massey-Ferguson saw production shift to their French facilities. Until 1993, Valmet operated as a state-owned enterprise, at which point it merged with Sisu. This integration necessitated the gradual retirement of the Valmet name, superseded by Valtra—a designation already familiar in the realm of agricultural implements and forestry equipment.

Valpadana
The story of Valpadana commenced in the Italian municipality of San Martino with the creation of motorized cultivators. Over the subsequent decade, by 1960, Valpadana expanded its engineering prowess to encompass the design and manufacture of full-fledged tractors. Though acquired by Landini in 1995, the Valpadana name endures, representing a line of agile tractors ideally suited for the demands of smaller agricultural operations and challenging, undulating terrain.

Valtra
Valmet’s origins trace back to the urgent demands of World War II, emerging from a Finnish munitions facility. By 1949, its resourceful engineers had conceived and built a pioneering tractor prototype, boasting 12 horsepower. This innovative machine transitioned into full-scale production by 1951, becoming known as the Valmet 15. A significant collaboration began in 1979 when Valmet joined forces with Volvo, resulting in a range of tractors branded as Volvo BM Valmet. In 1985, Valmet secured full ownership, acquiring Volvo’s share, and simultaneously forged a production agreement with Massey-Ferguson, utilizing the latter's French manufacturing plant. Until 1993, Valmet operated under state ownership, after which it underwent a transformation, merging with Sisu and becoming known as Valtra.

Ventrac
Based in Ohio, Ventrac designs and builds versatile compact utility tractors and equipment for grounds maintenance. The company’s roots extend back to the workshop of Marvin Steiner, located in the Ohio countryside. While the original Steiner brand transitioned to Ransomes ownership in 1988, members of the Steiner family subsequently established Venture Products in 1996. In 2020, Toro integrated Ventrac into its portfolio of brands.

Versatile
Versatile stands as a premier Canadian producer of both powerful four-wheel drive and substantial row-crop tractors. The company’s origins extend back to 1947, with the establishment of the Hydraulic Engineering Company in Toronto, initially focused on crafting smaller agricultural tools. In 1987, Versatile became part of Ford-New Holland, and for a period, the facility produced New Holland four-wheel drive tractors. However, regulatory requirements prompted CNH to sell the plant in 2000. Buhler Industries subsequently took ownership of the Winnipeg manufacturing site, marketing the tractors under the Buhler-Versatile banner. Then, in 2007, Rostelmash, a leading Russian agricultural machinery firm, secured a controlling interest in Buhler, leading to the revival of the Versatile name.

Volvo
In 1943, Volvo initiated its foray into the agricultural machinery sector through a collaboration with Bolinder-Munktell, a prominent Swedish tractor builder. The designs emerging from both companies exhibited substantial similarities, leading Volvo to fully acquire Bolinder-Munktell in 1950. Though maintained as distinct entities for a time, both brands were unified in 1957 under the combined banner of Bolinder-Munktell-Volvo. Reflecting the growing strength of the Volvo name, the branding shifted once more in 1973 to Volvo BM. A further partnership was forged with Valmet in 1978, culminating in the complete divestment of Volvo’s tractor holdings to Valmet – presently known as Valtra – in 1985.

Wagner
Wagner Tractor, based in Portland, Oregon, pioneered the creation of the initial multi-wheeled, all-wheel drive tractor. The Wagner siblings had already established themselves as builders of robust equipment for the forestry and extraction industries, beginning in 1922, before venturing into farming machinery during the 1950s. A collaborative arrangement between John Deere and Wagner materialized in the late 1960s. However, the need for these substantial tractors remained limited at that juncture, resulting in only 51 units being procured by Deere. Deere subsequently reintroduced themselves to this sector with their own model, the 7020, in 1971. A contractual agreement stipulating a five-year period of non-competition effectively prevented Wagner from continuing tractor production, ultimately marking their exit from the agricultural machinery landscape.

Wallis
From 1902 to 1932, Wallis tractors emerged from the workshops of the J.I. Case Plow Works in Racine, though this entity operated independently from the Case Threshing Machine Company that would later produce tractors under the Case name. The genesis of Wallis Tractor lay with Henry Wallis, who held a familial connection to Jerome Case as his son-in-law. Serving also as president of the J.I. Case-founded Case Plow Works, Wallis initiated preliminary tractor development as early as 1902, with some initial assembly taking place in Cleveland, Ohio. However, the company truly took form in 1912, being formally organized in Racine, Wisconsin. The Case Plow Works was responsible for both the construction and distribution of the Wallis Tractor. A shift occurred in 1928 when Massey-Harris acquired the Case Plow Works, assuming control of Wallis tractor production—a transaction that also transferred complete ownership of the 'Case' designation to Case Threshing Machine. Massey-Harris maintained the Wallis branding for another four years, until 1932, at which point the Massey-Harris name supplanted it entirely.

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.

Waterloo Boy
The story of Waterloo began in 1893, initially established as the Waterloo Gasoline Traction Engine Company, fueled by the vision of John Froelich. Its initial purpose centered around marketing Froelich’s pioneering gasoline tractor. However, the first production run of just four units proved unsuccessful, as each was ultimately returned by its purchaser. Consequently, the company underwent a transformation, becoming the Waterloo Gasoline Engine Company, and shifted its focus to the sale of stationary engines. A decade later, in 1913, Waterloo revisited the tractor arena with the introduction of the Waterloo Boy. Finally, in 1918, Deere & Company acquired Waterloo for a sum of $2.34 million.

Waterloo Manufacturing Company
Originating in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, Waterloo Manufacturing emerged in the late 19th century as a creator of steam-powered engines and a diverse range of agricultural implements. They continued these pursuits through the 1930s, and currently maintain operations as a producer of advanced boiler systems. Following the conclusion of World War II, the company briefly ventured into tractor production for a limited period before ultimately withdrawing from that particular market segment.
