About the Allis-Chalmers 220
The Allis-Chalmers 220 was the largest tractor in the 200 Series. Its six-cylinder diesel, power steering, independent 1,000-rpm PTO, and optional front-wheel assist gave it the size and traction needed for demanding field work.
The Two-Twenty was built in the early 1970s and was offered with two- or four-wheel drive. A QCS cab was available beginning in 1972.
