Introduction
Deutz-Allis 6070 Row-Crop Tractor
The Deutz-Allis 6070 is a row-crop tractor produced between 1985 and 1988 in West Allis, Wisconsin, USA. It served as a mid-range agricultural machine designed for versatility and field performance, featuring a 78 horsepower engine and available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by the Allis Chalmers 433T, a 3.3-liter, 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. It operates at a rated speed of 2300 RPM. The cooling system has a capacity of 17 quarts, and the engine utilizes a paper element air cleaner with a pre-cleaner to ensure longevity in dusty field conditions.
Transmission and Drive
The 6070 utilizes a synchronized transmission offering 12 forward and 3 reverse gears, organized in three ranges. This setup allows for precise speed control during agricultural operations. While standard configuration is 4x2 2WD, an optional 4x4 MFWD (Mechanical Front Wheel Drive) system was available to improve traction. Steering is managed via a hydrostatic power system, paired with differential hydraulic wet disc brakes.
Hydraulics and Hitch
Equipped with an open-center hydraulic system, the tractor provides a total flow of 19 gallons per minute (71.9 liters per minute), with a pump flow of 11.4 gallons per minute. The rear hitch is a Category II type, capable of lifting up to 3,500 lbs (1,587 kg) at 24 inches behind the lift point. The rear PTO operates independently at 540 RPM.
Dimensions and Operator Station
The 2WD model features a 93-inch wheelbase, while the 4WD variant provides higher ground clearance at the front axle (18.1 inches). The operator station is equipped with a four-post ROPS canopy, with optional factory cab and air-conditioning packages available for increased comfort.
Conclusion
With 972 units manufactured, the Deutz-Allis 6070 remains a representative example of 1980s row-crop machinery. Its combination of a turbocharged engine, synchronized shifting, and flexible hydraulic capacity makes it suitable for standard field work and medium-duty implement operation.
