Common questions
Allis Chalmers WC weight FAQ
How much does an Allis Chalmers WC weigh?
The Allis Chalmers WC weighs 3,190 lb (1,446 kg) using the published Operating — steel figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 2,700 to 4,545 lb (1,224 to 2,061 kg).
What is the operating weight of the Allis Chalmers WC compared with shipping weight?
Published operating weight is 3,190–3,792 lb (1,447–1,720 kg), versus 2,700–3,300 lb (1,225–1,497 kg) for shipping weight. That is roughly 490 lb (18.1%) 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 WC weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 4,545 lb (2,062 kg). That is up to 1,845 lb (68.3%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the Allis Chalmers WC a lightweight row-crop tractor?
Yes. The representative figure sits at about the 2nd percentile, lighter than roughly 98% of the row-crop tractor peers. That puts it in the very light range for this comparison. It is 10,816 lb lighter than the peer-group average of 14,006 lb.
How wide is the Allis Chalmers WC for transport?
The maximum published tractor width is 76 in (6.3 ft). That is 26 in under 8.5 ft before allowing for a loader, duals, implements or other equipment that may increase transport width.
What is the Allis Chalmers WC weight-to-horsepower ratio?
Using the page’s representative 3,190 lb weight and 18.7 hp power figure, the tractor carries about 170.4 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.
