Common questions
Allis Chalmers 8030 weight FAQ
How much does an Allis Chalmers 8030 weigh?
The Allis Chalmers 8030 weighs 15,015 lb (6,810 kg) using the published Operating — 2WD duals figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 14,200 to 17,100 lb (6,441 to 7,756 kg).
How much heavier is the 4WD Allis Chalmers 8030 than the 2WD model?
Published 2WD weight is 15,015 lb (6,811 kg), while published 4WD weight is 14,200 lb (6,441 kg). On a midpoint basis, the published 4WD configurations are about 815 lb lighter. Tires, transmission and other configuration differences can also affect the number.
What is the operating weight of the Allis Chalmers 8030 compared with shipping weight?
Published operating weight is 15,015 lb (6,811 kg), versus 14,200 lb (6,441 kg) for shipping weight. That is roughly 815 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 8030 weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 17,100 lb (7,756 kg). That is up to 2,900 lb (20.4%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the Allis Chalmers 8030 heavy or light for a row-crop tractor?
It is close to average for its peer group. The representative figure sits at about the 60th percentile, near the middle of the row-crop tractor peers. That puts it in the average range for this comparison. It is 1,009 lb heavier than the peer-group average of 14,006 lb.
How wide is the Allis Chalmers 8030 for transport?
The maximum published tractor width is 93.4 in (7.8 ft). That is 8.6 in under 8.5 ft before allowing for a loader, duals, implements or other equipment that may increase transport width.
