I dont know if ALLIS was the first to coin the two letters together - XT - but its really catchyy on the 190 tractors , I read somewhere they wanted to use XP for xtra power , but XT was chosen ?? Case uses it on there skidloaders, Burger King uses it on there great burgers , and I bought a cheap stick on the dash digital clock at Walmart the other day and its got XT on it !!!! Any where else ??

It kinda sounds like EXTREME! That's why I think lots of products get labeled that.

IBM's second PC was an IBM XT.

We have a worskstation here at work that is referred to as the XT, refers to it being a text workstation.

That IBM XT was named for "extended technology". That from my memory when it was announced.

Was there such a model of tractor as in Allis Chalmers 200XT or did someone add the decals to a 200? Thanks Rich

In Swinford's book, he states the XT did not stand for anything, they just liked the sound of it.
