ENGINE DETAIL
The Allis Chalmers 720 tractor features a compact Onan CCKB 2-cylinder engine delivering 19.5 hp (14.5 kW) at a rated 3600 RPM, suitable for light agricultural tasks or landscaping. With a low displacement of 0.8L, the engine's 7:1 compression ratio and paper element air cleaner enhance fuel efficiency and engine longevity but may limit power under heavy loads. Its manageable oil capacity of 3.5 quarts allows for straightforward maintenance, making it ideal for small-scale operations or hobby farming.

TRANSMISSION
The Allis Chalmers 720 tractor features a hydrostatic transmission, providing smooth and continuous speed adjustment, which is ideal for tasks requiring precision such as tilling or mowing. With infinite forward and reverse capabilities across three ranges, operators can easily switch directions and adjust to different terrain types. However, its relatively low oil capacity of 6 quarts may necessitate more frequent maintenance checks to ensure optimal hydraulic functionality.

ALLIS CHALMERS 720 TRANSMISSION
The Allis Chalmers 720 tractor features a hydrostatic transmission, providing seamless speed adjustments without the need for gear shifting, which enhances operational ease in various terrains. Advantages include improved maneuverability and operator comfort, especially in tasks requiring frequent stopping and starting, such as loader work or gardening. However, hydrostatic systems can be more complex and may require specialized maintenance compared to traditional gear-driven tractors, potentially increasing ownership costs over time.
MECHANICAL
The Allis Chalmers 720 tractor features a two-wheel drive system, which is typically lighter and easier to maneuver on flat terrain but may struggle with traction in muddy or hilly conditions. The manual steering can offer a direct feel for the operator, although it may require more physical effort, particularly in tight turns or long hours of operation. An open operator station enhances visibility and ventilation, but it also exposes the operator to the elements and requires additional safety considerations.

ALLIS CHALMERS 720 TIRES
The Allis Chalmers 720 tractor features versatile tire sizes suited for agricultural (front: 4.00x12, rear: 8.00-16) and lawn/turf (front: 6.90/6.00-9, rear: 31x15.50-15) applications, providing adaptability from fieldwork to landscaping. The smaller front tires enhance maneuverability in tight spaces, while the larger turf rear tires reduce ground pressure, minimizing damage to soft surfaces. However, the limited power and size of the 720 might restrict its efficiency in heavy-duty tasks compared to larger models.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Allis Chalmers 720 tractor features a compact wheelbase of 56 inches (142 cm), enhancing maneuverability in tight spaces, making it ideal for small fields or gardens. With a weight of 1300 lbs (589 kg), it provides sufficient stability for various farming tasks, though this lower mass may limit traction in heavy soil conditions. The front and rear tire dimensions (4.00x12 and 8.00-16) allow for a good balance between flotation and ground penetration, optimizing performance for light to moderate agricultural operations.
