In the 1980s, Baldwin produced large four-wheel drive tractors in Australia. This manufacturing and agricultural engineering company has its roots dating back to the late 1920s. The DP525, introduced in 1979, marked Baldwin's entry into the farm tractor market. Throughout the early 1980s, the company received several design awards in Australia and expanded its range of large four-wheel drive tractors. However, due to a downturn in the Australian tractor market, Baldwin shifted its focus to mining and industrial equipment, ceasing tractor production by 1990.
