856 or d21 allis chalems

J190 · Feb 23, 2010

I have the chance to buy a 856 with 5600 hours or a d21 seriesII allis chalmers. What tractor would out perform the other?

Well the D21 was a brute but sorta unrefined not sure on the pony power on the D21 as i have only been on one once and the 856 has better features like the power brakes and the T/A better PTO and the 856 handles better at least i think so .But it is more as to what flavour you like better . I will never tell someone that OH this is the tractor for you.

those two tractors were engineering marvels of their day. like the vet says it depends what you are going to use them for. more power in the d-21 but the 856 would be nicer to operate.
