Common questions
Allis Chalmers 8070 weight FAQ
How much does an Allis Chalmers 8070 weigh?
The Allis Chalmers 8070 weighs 16,850 lb (7,643 kg) using the published Operating — 2WD duals figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 16,850 to 22,370 lb (7,643 to 10,147 kg).
How much heavier is the 4WD Allis Chalmers 8070 than the 2WD model?
Published 2WD weight is 16,850 lb (7,643 kg), while published 4WD weight is 17,300 lb (7,847 kg). On a midpoint basis, the published 4WD configurations are about 450 lb heavier. Tires, transmission and other configuration differences can also affect the number.
What is the operating weight of the Allis Chalmers 8070?
The published operating weight is 16,850–17,300 lb (7,643–7,847 kg). This is usually a more useful real-world figure than a bare shipping specification, although ballast, loader, fuel, implements and tire setup can still increase actual working weight.
How much does the Allis Chalmers 8070 weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 22,370 lb (10,147 kg). That is up to 5,520 lb (32.8%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the Allis Chalmers 8070 a heavy row-crop tractor?
Yes. The representative figure sits at about the 73rd percentile, heavier than roughly 73% of the row-crop tractor peers. That puts it in the heavy range for this comparison. It is 2,844 lb heavier than the peer-group average of 14,006 lb.
How wide is the Allis Chalmers 8070 for transport?
The maximum published tractor width is 95.5 in (8 ft). That is 6.5 in under 8.5 ft before allowing for a loader, duals, implements or other equipment that may increase transport width.
