The Allis Chalmers 160 is a sturdy agricultural tractor made from 1970 to 1975. It was actually built by Renault in France. This 2-wheel drive tractor has a 4x2 chassis and uses hydrostatic power steering, making it easy to control in the fields. Under the hood, the Allis Chalmers 160 has a Perkins AD 3.152 engine. This diesel engine has 3 cylinders and is liquid-cooled. It can produce 40 horsepower at 2250 rpm, which is good for many farm tasks. The tractor has a partial synchronized transmission with 10 forward gears and 2 reverse gears, giving farmers lots of options for different jobs. It also has an optional PTO (power take-off) that can run at 540 rpm, useful for powering other farm equipment. This tractor is built tough, weighing 4,674 pounds. It's 143.7 inches long and 55.9 inches tall, making it a mid-sized option for farms. The Allis Chalmers 160 has ag tires on both front and back, with larger rear tires for better traction. It uses a category II hitch, which lets it work with many common farm implements. With its electric starter and differential mechanical dry disc brakes, this tractor is both easy to use and safe to operate.
