ALLIS CHALMERS FD5 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Allis Chalmers FD5 features a Vendeuvre Type 66 diesel engine, notable for its 50 HP output and 3-cylinder air-cooled design, which enhances reliability and reduces maintenance needs. With a displacement of 247.1 ci and an optimal torque at 1800 RPM, this tractor is suitable for mid-scale agricultural tasks, but its relatively low power might limit performance in more demanding applications. Key advantages include lower fuel consumption due to the efficient air-cooled system, although challenges may arise in extremely hot conditions where cooling could become less effective.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Allis Chalmers FD5 tractor, with an 89.8-inch wheelbase, offers good stability for moderate towing and lifting tasks within confined spaces, making it suitable for small to medium agricultural operations. Weighing 5,412 lbs and equipped with relatively narrow tires (5.50x20 front and 12x38 rear), it may struggle with traction in soft soil conditions but excels in maneuverability on firmer terrain. Operators should consider potential limitations in weight distribution when using the tractor for heavy implements, and ensure tire pressure and condition are optimized for the intended application.
