Allis Chalmers 180 diesel

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I purchased a 180 diesel last year. I bought a Vermeer 6050 disc mower to cut this year in it. My question, I don’t think the 180 has a float mode, like the190, if I’m correct. Will this cause any issues cutting with it? I’ve had folks tell me it will be fine just wanting to see if anyone with a 180 had any issues if so what’s the fix to run it. It’s my biggest tractor, I’m cutting over 100 acres this year. My other tractor is a David brown 995 but I don’t know if it would be on on hills with it ot not it’s 55 hp I think. Book says 60hp g from Vermeer. I got some steep hills . Thanks!! Any advice much appreciated. I’ve Ben running 5’6” cut red AGco mower and 6’ drum mower
