The history of Warchalowski
An Austrian engine maker that supplied half the country's tractor builders before building its own.
The roots of the Maschinenfabrik Warchalowski reach back to the middle of the nineteenth century. Production of internal combustion engines began early, around 1900, and the firm was working on aircraft engines before the First World War — which is almost certainly why the Vienna workshops were destroyed in the Second.
Afterwards Warchalowski was first of all an engine supplier to other tractor manufacturers — Drexler, Kirchner, Krasser, Lindner, Tiefenthaler and Waibel — until it started building tractors of its own in 1955. The engine of the RS/09 from the East German Fortschritt combine was supplied by Warchalowski at the outset too, and the GDR later built that engine, modified, under licence.
A Warchalowski was usually fitted with something rare in a tractor: a V engine, of two, three or four cylinders.
As the power buyers wanted rose through the 1960s, technical problems with its own engines pushed the firm onto engines from a competitor, IHC. In 1970 IHC took Warchalowski over altogether.
