Introduction
Allis Chalmers 6080 Row-Crop Tractor
Produced between 1980 and 1985 in West Allis, Wisconsin, the Allis Chalmers 6080 is a row-crop tractor designed for mid-range agricultural operations. It represents a significant model within the 6000 series, offering a balance of mechanical simplicity and performance required for varied field tasks.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by the Allis Chalmers 433TI, a 3.3-liter, 4-cylinder turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine. With a displacement of 200 cubic inches and a rated speed of 2300 RPM, it delivers a power output of 93 horsepower. The engine utilizes a liquid-cooling system and a paper element air cleaner with a precleaner to ensure reliability during extended field operations.
Transmission and Drive
The drivetrain features a synchronized transmission with 12 forward and 3 reverse gears, utilizing a clutch for shifting. It is available in a standard 4x2 2WD configuration, with an optional 4x4 MFWD (Mechanical Front Wheel Drive) system to improve traction in challenging soil conditions. Steering is managed by a hydrostatic power system, and braking is handled by differential hydraulic wet disc brakes.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The 6080 utilizes an open-center hydraulic system providing a total flow of 19 gallons per minute (71.9 lpm), with the pump delivering 11.4 gallons per minute (43.1 lpm) to the two standard valves. The rear of the tractor is equipped with a Category II hitch capable of lifting 4,500 lbs (2041 kg) at 24 inches behind the lift points, supported by an independent rear PTO offering 540/1000 RPM settings.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
The machine has a wheelbase of 96 inches for the 2WD model and an operating weight of 6,500 lbs (2948 kg). The operator station features a four-post ROPS canopy as standard equipment, with an optional enclosed cab and air-conditioning available for improved operator comfort.
Conclusion
The Allis Chalmers 6080 is a versatile row-crop tractor suited for medium-duty agricultural applications. Its combination of a turbocharged engine, synchronized transmission, and reliable hydraulic capacity makes it a practical choice for farmers requiring a machine capable of handling both primary cultivation and secondary implement work.
