Common questions
Allis Chalmers 220 weight FAQ
How much does an Allis Chalmers 220 weigh?
The Allis Chalmers 220 weighs 12,160 lb (5,515 kg) using the published 2WD Operating figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 11,500 to 20,050 lb (5,216 to 9,094 kg).
What is the operating weight of the Allis Chalmers 220 compared with shipping weight?
Published operating weight is 12,160 lb (5,516 kg), versus 11,500 lb (5,216 kg) for shipping weight. That is roughly 660 lb (5.7%) more than shipping weight. Operating weight is generally the more useful starting point when estimating a ready-to-use tractor.
How much does the Allis Chalmers 220 weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 20,050 lb (9,095 kg). That is up to 8,550 lb (74.3%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the Allis Chalmers 220 heavy or light for a row-crop tractor?
It is close to average for its peer group. The representative figure sits at about the 41st percentile, near the middle of the row-crop tractor peers. That puts it in the average range for this comparison. It is 1,846 lb lighter than the peer-group average of 14,006 lb.
How wide is the Allis Chalmers 220 for transport?
The maximum published tractor width is 96 in (8 ft). That is 6 in under 8.5 ft before allowing for a loader, duals, implements or other equipment that may increase transport width.
Does the Allis Chalmers 220 weigh more than 10,000 lb?
Yes. The representative published weight is 12,160 lb, and the heaviest published configuration on this page is 20,050 lb (10.03 US tons). Any trailer calculation also needs the trailer itself plus fuel, ballast, attachments and other equipment.
