Upton's Engineering was an Australian builder of high-horsepower 2-wheel-drive tractors from 1968 to the early 1980s when the big brands manufacturers did not import suitable machines into Australia. Only a few local manufactures evolved from building one-off specials for there own use to building a few for other farmers. Upton was (and still is) based in Corowa, NSW, Australia.
