Whats the smallest tractor that can successfully run an All Crop 90? Does a 90 take a lot more power to run than say a 66? Thanks in advance. ------------- The mechanic always wins. B91131, WC23065, WD89101, CA29479, B1, Early B10, HB212, 416H |

My "CA" handled the "90" just fine in weedy oats. The horse power of my "CA" is around 29hp. That is right at the low limit of HP to be running a #90 All-Crop. The "WD" would be the smallest in the "W" series. The D-14 would be the smallest in the "D" series. ------------- Thanks & God Bless Dennis |

CA can handle it so long as no amount of hill in the field. The power unit option for it was a D-14 engine. ------------- 35 combines and 15 forage harvesters. mostly allis combines and equipment.WTB 2 row cornhead for a 90 |

Good morning back in 1965 dad replaced the 1954 Allcrop 66 with a used Allcrop 90 that we used our Oliver 550 gas to operate. The 550 would operate all day long on a tank of gas 10.4 gals plus one could operate mainly in 2 nd gear (2.2 mph) but in a heavy crop one could use 1 st gear at 1.5 mph. In a poor crop one could operate in 3 rd 3.4 mph. Some times we would use the D17 or WD but the Oliver was the cheapest to operate then one of the Allis tractors could be running the MF #3 baler which is still in operation . ------------- Fred Dunlop, G,B,CA, WC,WF, 3 WD45`s,gas, diesel and LP,U,D10 series III, D12,D14,D15 SERIES II,D17 Series IV in Gas and Diesel ,D19 GAS and D21,170 185,210 ,220 an I-600 8070 fwd, 716H and 1920H |

i run a 180 gasser on my 90 just because of the size and we have some nasty hillsides round here. But a good old WD or WD45 is sufficient. I also like the hydraulics better on the 180 ------------- 1-B's, 2-C, 2-CA's,2-WF, 1-WC,1-G, 3-WD's, 2-WD45, 1-RC, 1-D17 Diesel, 1-D14, 2-D15,1-D17 row crop,1-D19 gas and All Crop 40,60,66,72,90 and 100 |

The WD and WD45 have plenty of power, those are the two engines used in the SP100 and super 100. ------------- 35 combines and 15 forage harvesters. mostly allis combines and equipment.WTB 2 row cornhead for a 90 |
