Experience an extraordinary piece of pioneering agricultural machinery history with this fascinating mural of the legendary Wallis tractor from 1920.
This revolutionary machine was way ahead of its time and established design principles that can still be found in modern tractors today.
The Wallis tractor, recognisable by its characteristic red paint with black accents and imposing iron wheels with red spokes, was the first tractor with a welded frame construction instead of the cast iron frames common at the time. This innovative "frameless"construction made it lighter, stronger and more economical - a true revolution in agricultural engineering in the 1920s.
The striking design elements are particularly noteworthy: the high vertical radiator with the proud "WALLIS" lettering, the characteristic iron wheels with lugs for optimum grip and the robust but elegant overall appearance.
The visible mechanics and authentic details bear witness to the perfect craftsmanship of this era.
The Wallis Tractor Company from Racine, Wisconsin, was a true pioneer of innovation before it was later taken over by Massey-Harris.
This tractor represents the transition from steam power to modern combustion engine technology.
Perfect for lovers of early agricultural machinery, collectors of 1920s agricultural technology, enthusiasts of American industrial history or anyone who appreciates authentic vintage pioneering work. A timeless testimony to technical progress that brings the atmosphere of the mechanical revolution into any room.
