  • Dave Harrington of Nebraska read about the Allis-Chalmers Duplex tractor, but since one didn't exist he decided to built one. It took him years to find two 6-12 Allis-Chalmers tractors and convert them into the Duplex. The Duplex didn't catch on, the idea was to put two of thee tractors together to create a four-wheel drive tractor for heavy field use, then they could be disconnected and used separately for light field work. It was a great idea but just wasn't practically. Then the Moline Plow Company sued Allis-Chalmers for copyright infringement on the articulating steering. Allis-Chalmers lost the lawsuit and with it production ended on the 6-12 Allis.

    What a piece of history! Thank you to all who work to preserve and re-create this almost forgotten American history. 🇺🇸

    Allis-Chalmers was always ahead of their time when it came to innovative ideas for farm and construction equipment. This is just one example.

      Most of the companies back then were. They all had their own unique designs and ideas, of which the best ones you still see today.

    It's a good thing there are those that are so fascinated with the old equipment to reproduce it, because if there weren't the old stuff would just be pictures in a book.👍👍

    Now that’s an amazing piece of equipment and an interesting part of the history of mechanized farming.

    I think that there is another 6-12 duplex at the Culbertson Montana Threashing Bee.
    They have a Massey Harris, first 4x4, first articulated steering. One other first, but I cannot remember what that was. It has been awhile since I saw the tractor, but it really impressed me that our new Versatile 800, wasn’t that new.

    • @jeremiah4248
      @jeremiah4248 Před 4 lety

      The Massey Harris early 4x4 is known as a "GP" or general purpose

    So does one tractor run in reverse and the other in forward? Are forward and reverse the same speed?

    Anyone near the Cincinnati OH area know if there are any old tractor shows around here? I’ve never really been on a farm in my life but lately I’m obsessed with these old tractors?
