AGCO Allis AGCO-Allis

AGCO-Allis is the brand from which the AGCO group emerged: in 1990 managers bought the North American tractor division of Deutz-Allis – the successor to Allis-Chalmers, which Deutz had taken over in 1985 – and founded the Allis-Gleaner Corporation, AGCO, which in the following years acquired Massey Ferguson, Fendt and Valtra. Until 2001 AGCO sold tractors under the AGCO-Allis name in orange, then the brand merged into AGCO and Challenger. The type logic: the first digit gives the series – 5 for the small, 6 for the medium and large tractors – the number after the dot the output in hp: 5.65 about 65 hp, 6.125 about 125 hp, 6.220 about 220 hp. The suffixes Frutero, Parralero, F and V come from South American production, where AGCO-Allis built orchard, vineyard and specialty tractors in Argentina and Brazil; A marks four-wheel drive. The engines came from Deutz – the air-cooled 913 series – as a legacy of the Deutz-Allis years and, in the late models, from AGCO itself.
