TRANSMISSION

The Allis Chalmers 220 tractor features a sliding gear transmission that provides 8 forward gears and 2 reverse gears, offering versatility for various agricultural tasks. The dry disc clutch enhances engagement efficiency and minimizes slippage, though it may require more frequent maintenance compared to wet clutches. Ideal for moderate to heavy-duty applications, this configuration allows for precise speed control and efficient power transfer in diverse field conditions.

MECHANICAL

The Allis Chalmers 220 features a versatile drivetrain with options for both 2WD and 4WD, enhancing traction in various agricultural scenarios. Its hydrostatic power steering provides improved maneuverability, especially in tight spaces, while the dry disc brakes deliver reliable stopping power under load. The optional QCS cab introduced in 1972 offers operator comfort, although the open station can expose operators to elements, which may be a consideration depending on the working conditions.
