The Allis Chalmers L tractor weighs 22,000 lb (9,979 kg) using its primary published weight. Other useful published figures are 4,400 lb (Weight). That places it around the 58th percentile among tractors in the dataset, close to the middle of its peer group.
The published Allis Chalmers L weight is 4,400–22,000 lb (1,995–9,979 kg). The primary figure used for comparisons is 22,000 lb (9,979 kg), listed as Weight. The published configurations span 17,600 lb, a 400% difference from the lightest listed setup. Multiple TractorData model records with the same model name are consolidated here so the page covers the listed production versions rather than creating competing pages.
This page consolidates 2 published records for the same Allis Chalmers L model name. Weight variants retain their listed production years so differences between versions are visible rather than being silently merged.

Common questions
Allis Chalmers L weight FAQ
How much does an Allis Chalmers L weigh?
The Allis Chalmers L weighs 22,000 lb (9,979 kg) using the primary published weight figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 4,400 to 22,000 lb (1,995 to 9,979 kg).
Is the Allis Chalmers L a heavy standard-tread tractor?
Yes. The representative figure sits at about the 90th percentile, heavier than roughly 90% of the all tractors in this dataset. That puts it in the very heavy range for this comparison. It is 12,073 lb heavier than the peer-group average of 9,927 lb.
How wide is the Allis Chalmers L for transport?
The maximum published tractor width is 93 in (7.8 ft). That is 9 in under 8.5 ft before allowing for a loader, duals, implements or other equipment that may increase transport width.
Does the Allis Chalmers L weigh more than 10,000 lb?
Yes. The representative published weight is 22,000 lb, and the heaviest published configuration on this page is 22,000 lb (11 US tons). Any trailer calculation also needs the trailer itself plus fuel, ballast, attachments and other equipment.
What is the Allis Chalmers L weight-to-horsepower ratio?
Using the page’s representative 22,000 lb weight and 92 hp power figure, the tractor carries about 239.2 lb per horsepower. A lower lb/hp number means less tractor mass for each horsepower; this is a comparison metric, not a traction or performance rating.
How many tons does the Allis Chalmers L weigh?
The representative published weight is about 11 US tons, while the full published range is 2.2–11 US tons. Loaded transport weight can be higher than the tractor specification.
