Période

1948-1970

Canada

Allis-Chalmers Co. was the product of a 1901 merger. The company produced steam engines, milling and sawing equipment, mining machinery and crushers. Allis-Chalmers introduced a variety of tractors in 1914 and was the first to use low pressure tires on that type of vehicle. A German enterprise acquired the company’s range of agricultural machinery in the 1980s.

Fonction

The tractor is a motorized vehicle used to pull and actuate other vehicles or implements that are not power-driven. Tractors are primarily designed for agricultural work: for cultivation, spraying, and harvesting operations. The first tractors, developed in the mid-nineteenth century, were steam-powered and were not very mobile: their main purpose was to power threshers and other equipment. The development of gas-engines in the late 19th century, and their integration into tractors, gave the machines more mobility and flexibility. Robert C. Williams writes in "Fordson, Farmall, and Poppin' Johnny: A history of the farm tractor and its impact on America" (1987) that "Of all the farm implements, the tractor has had the greatest impact on rural life...In one generation between 1920 and 1950, most farms in the United States changed from dependence on draft animals to dependence on mechanical power."

Technique

This Allis-Chalmers Model G tractor was a favourite of vegetable growers, nursery workers, and farmers with small holdings. Seated in front of the engine (over front-mounted implements designed especially for this model), operators of the Model G had an unobstructed view. This unobstructed view facilitated the precision work needed for delicate crops. The rear-mounted engine provided the needed traction, and the wheels could be adjusted to fit between rows of produce.
