About the Allis-Chalmers 8050
The Allis-Chalmers 8050 was a larger 8000 Series row-crop tractor introduced in 1982. It used a 7.0-liter six-cylinder diesel, independent PTO, hydrostatic power steering, and a standard Acousta cab with heat and air conditioning.
The 8050 was offered in two- or four-wheel drive, with a high-crop version available. It followed the 7045/7060 class of tractors and shared the 8000 Series design with the 8030 and 8070.
