Last Updated: July 2024

Overview

The Allis Chalmers 7050 is an American-made row-crop tractor produced in West Allis, Wisconsin from 1973 to 1974. It features a liquid-cooled, six-cylinder Allis Chalmers diesel engine with a turbocharged intercooled system, yielding 156.49 horsepower at 2300 RPM according to Nebraska Tractor Test results. The tractor implements a selective gear fixed ratio transmission with partial range operator-controlled power shifting, offering 20 forward and 4 reverse gears. Operating with 4x2 2WD, it's equipped with an independent rear power take-off yielding speeds of 540 or 1000 RPM. The hydraulic system uses a direct engine drive control system. For operator comfort, it provides an open station or an optional cab. The three-point hitch system is rated for categories II and III. The tractor's operating weight with ballast is 19,530 lbs, demonstrating its robust build for various agricultural applications.
