Allis Chalmers FD5

Last Updated: June 2024

Overview

The Allis Chalmers FD5 is a diesel-powered utility tractor known for its simple yet robust construction. With a wheelbase of 89.8 inches and an air-cooled Vendeuvre Type 66 engine, it is capable of handling various tasks on smaller farms or rural properties. The FD5 features an 8-speed manual transmission with 8 forward and 4 reverse gears, allowing for a good range of speed options during operation. At a weight of 5,412 lbs, it is substantial enough for stability and traction but still manageable for various chores. The 50 hp engine operates at a rated 1800 RPM, providing sufficient power for day to day tasks. Its 4x2 chassis configuration may limit its capability in rough terrain, compared to a 4WD tractor, but it excels in general agricultural duties where extensive mobility is not a critical requirement.
