Allis Chalmers Tractors

Allis Chalmers started in 1914, but the company was in manufacturing back in the 1840's. In 1985, they couldn't survive another downturn in the farming equipment market and were sold to the K-H-Duetz AG Company from Germany. In turn, Duetz was sold to AGCO in 1990, who is a large farm equipment player in the European market and South America. Today, many people still consider the Allis Chalmers tractors that were made from the 1914 to 1985 era, the only true tractors to bear the name.

For many collectors, Allis Chalmers of Milwaukee made the tractors that symbolized an American icon, because they also manufactured Gleaner Combines and all kinds of other industrial equipment, including the large commercial tillage and harvesting tractors and garden tractors. When they are looking at the Allis Chalmers tractors for sale, it is in hopes of restoring them, since many of the older models end up in the hands of antique tractor collectors.

Some of these older Allis Chalmers tractors can still be found on family farms, and many of them have been abandoned until somebody comes along and realizes their potential worth. These private sellers are responsible for the majority of the Allis Chalmers tractors for sale, but for those that want to buy them, it can be hard to find the listings, unless they turn to a comprehensive compilation of what is on the market, in one easy place.

During the later years, the company struggled to survive and production was down as the farm crisis hit again. Because of this lower production, it is hard to find as many that are still in full functioning shape, although parts are still available. Of course, it is the older, antique tractors that are most popular from a collector's standpoint, and restoring these is what has become a fun and profitable hobby for many older tractor enthusiasts.

If you set out on your own trying to find some of the classic models of these tractors, it could be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Sometimes, just finding information on them can be difficult, since the original company is no longer in business for practical purposes. With the purchases by KH Duetz and AGCO, the company and the tractors went through quite a few changes, obviously.
