The 185 was powered by a 185 cubic inch (3.0 liter) 4-cylinder gasoline engine, producing 55 horsepower. The engine was renowned for its durability and fuel efficiency, making it an economical choice for farmers. Its transmission featured 8 forward and 2 reverse gears, providing ample flexibility for varying field conditions. The 185 also boasted a robust hydraulic system, allowing for easy operation of implements and attachments.
Beyond its basic functionalities, the Allis-Chalmers 185 offered several innovative features for its time. A well-designed operator platform provided a comfortable and ergonomic workspace, while the tractor's narrow design allowed for maneuverability in tight spaces. The 185 was also equipped with a live PTO (Power Take-Off), enabling smooth operation of various implements, and a three-point hitch system, simplifying the attachment of tools and equipment. While production of the 185 ceased in 1970, its legacy continues to resonate among those who value reliable and dependable agricultural machinery.
