The Allis Chalmers 8030 is a versatile row-crop tractor that came with both 2WD and optional 4WD (FWA) configurations. Engineered for robust farm applications, the AC 8030 was produced by Allis Chalmers in West Allis, Wisconsin, from 1982 to 1985. It harnesses a turbocharged diesel Allis Chalmers 670T engine, offering 148 horsepower at 2300 RPM with six cylinders and a large displacement of 426 cubic inches, which is particularly adept at handling heavy-duty tasks. This model came with different transmission options, including partial power shift with 16 forward and 4 reverse gears, another partial power shift variant with 20 forward and 4 reverse gears, as well as a straightforward power shift transmission offering 12 forward and 2 reverse gears. With its hydrostatic power steering, differential hydraulic wet disk brakes, comfortable Acousta cab, and significant fuel capacity, the tractor embodies a blend of power and convenience suitable for extensive farming operations.
