 Topic: 7000 open station
Posted: 31 Jan 2016 at 7:18pm |

Just bought a 7000 Allis open station to tinker around with and pull some. Wandering how lite I can get the tractor. Also wanting to know the best way to get the most power for the buck. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

7000 is about 2000# heavier than a 190 - which had to be lightened quite a bit to get down to 7000 # the 7000 had a shipping weight of close to 9000#, the best way to HP is find someone who has built one and buy it...the detail$ are expen$ive. IT takes fuel and air to make HP that = a bigger pump and turbo(S).. need to know class and rules...

Thanks for the info. I need to check into the rules more. I don't want to get to extreme with it. I want to say the farm class is 8mph. Some places around maybe 10mph.
