Introduction

Allis Chalmers 4W-220 Four-Wheel Drive Tractor

The Allis Chalmers 4W-220 is a heavy-duty four-wheel drive tractor manufactured between 1982 and 1984. Designed for large-scale agricultural operations, this model integrates substantial mechanical power with advanced hydraulic capabilities to handle demanding field tasks.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by an Allis Chalmers 670 HI engine, a 7.0-liter turbocharged and intercooled 6-cylinder diesel unit. It produces 220 horsepower at a rated speed of 2400 RPM. The engine features a liquid cooling system and a dry-type air cleaner. With a compression ratio of 15.5:1, it is engineered for consistent performance under high-load conditions.

Transmission and Drivetrain

The 4W-220 utilizes a Power Director transmission system, offering 20 forward and 4 reverse gears. This configuration includes a two-speed power shift, allowing operators to adjust speeds without manual clutching. Power is delivered to all four wheels via planetary final drives, supported by wet disc brakes to ensure reliable deceleration.

Hydraulics and PTO

The hydraulic system is of a closed-center load-sensing design, providing a total flow capacity of 74.9 gpm (283.5 lpm), with 21 gpm (79.5 lpm) dedicated to the selective control valves (SCV). It is equipped with three valves as standard. The independent rear PTO operates at 1000 RPM, utilizing a 1.75-inch shaft to drive various high-power implements.

Dimensions and Operator Environment

The machine features a 126-inch wheelbase and a shipping weight of 21,475 lbs. The operator environment consists of a standard cab equipped with air-conditioning to maintain comfort during extended operation. The rear hitch is compatible with Category IV/III implements, providing flexibility for heavy-duty trailing equipment.

Conclusion

The Allis Chalmers 4W-220 is a robust tractor suited for intensive primary tillage and heavy pulling operations. Its combination of a high-capacity hydraulic system and a multi-speed transmission makes it a reliable choice for large acreage farming requirements from the early 1980s.
