Allis Chalmers 616
The Allis Chalmers 616 is a small utility tractor that was made in 1972 and 1973. It's a 2-wheel drive tractor with a hydrostatic transmission, which means it's easy to control speed without changing gears. The tractor has an open operator station, so the driver sits outside without a cab. This tractor is powered by an Onan CCK engine. It's a small, air-cooled gasoline engine with 2 cylinders. The engine makes 16.5 horsepower, which is on the lower end for tractors. The 616 is quite compact, measuring about 83 inches long, 48 inches wide, and 43 inches tall. It's also very light, weighing only 1,499 pounds. These small sizes make it good for working in tight spaces or for light jobs around a farm or large property.
