Common questions
Allis Chalmers RC weight FAQ
How much does an Allis Chalmers RC weigh?
The Allis Chalmers RC weighs 2,495 lb (1,131 kg) using the published Shipping — steel figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 2,495 to 4,005 lb (1,131 to 1,816 kg).
How much does the Allis Chalmers RC weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 4,005 lb (1,817 kg). That is up to 1,510 lb (60.5%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the Allis Chalmers RC a lightweight row-crop tractor?
Yes. The representative figure sits at about the 0th percentile, lighter than roughly 100% of the row-crop tractor peers. That puts it in the very light range for this comparison. It is 11,511 lb lighter than the peer-group average of 14,006 lb.
What is the Allis Chalmers RC weight-to-horsepower ratio?
Using the page’s representative 2,495 lb weight and 16.2 hp power figure, the tractor carries about 153.6 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 RC weigh?
The representative published weight is about 1.25 US tons, while the full published range is 1.25–2 US tons. Loaded transport weight can be higher than the tractor specification.
