Introduction

Allis-Chalmers 7060 Row-Crop Tractor

The Allis-Chalmers 7060 is a row-crop tractor produced in West Allis, Wisconsin, between 1974 and 1981. It was designed for heavy-duty agricultural operations and served as a central model within the manufacturer's 7000 series lineup.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a 6-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a displacement of 426 cubic inches (7.0 liters). It features a 16:1 compression ratio and is rated at 2,300 RPM, delivering 192 horsepower. The engine utilizes a dry air cleaner with a pre-cleaner system to maintain efficiency in dusty environments.

Transmission and Drivetrain

Two transmission options were available: the Allis-Chalmers Power Director (20 forward and 4 reverse gears) and the Power Shift (12 forward and 2 reverse gears). Both are partial power shift units requiring clutch usage for range changes or direction reversing. The tractor features a two-wheel-drive configuration with inboard planetary final drives and differential power wet disc brakes.

Hydraulics and Hitch

The 7060 utilizes a closed-center hydraulic system providing a total flow of 45 gallons per minute (170.3 liters per minute), with 22 gpm allocated to pump flow and 9.5 gpm to steering. The rear hitch is a category 3/2 configuration capable of lifting 6,680 lbs (3,030 kg) at 24 inches behind the lift point.

Operator Environment and Dimensions

The machine was equipped with the Accousta cab as standard, with an optional air conditioning system. In 1978, the Accousta Cab II was introduced alongside ergonomic improvements. The tractor has a wheelbase of 106 inches and a ground clearance of 22 inches under the front axle, supporting various agricultural tire configurations.

Conclusion

The Allis-Chalmers 7060 is a robust, high-horsepower tractor engineered for demanding field tasks. Its combination of a powerful 192 hp engine and versatile transmission options makes it suitable for large-scale crop production, reflecting the design standards of its era.

Transmission Information of Allis Chalmers, 7060

Transmission variants 1

  • The Power Director uses a gear shift, range shift, and the two-speed Power Director. The gear shift lever selects one of five forward gears, or reverse. The range shift lever selects between high and low ranges. The tractor must be stopped, and the clutch pedal used, to change the gear or range. Once in motion, the Power Director is operated by means of two foot switches that can be switched, on the move, without the clutch.
