- In this video we take a look at an Allis-Chalmers 6080 tractor plowing with out a driver. This classic 1980's tractor is able to follow the plow furrow across the field with out an operator in the seat and with out GPS and computers.
Allis-Chalmers was sold to Deutz-Fahr in 1985 and never had the chance to build a modern auto guided tractor. Allis-Chalmers did have firsts in building the first round baler and no-till corn planter which are shown working in this video.
This video was created to demonstrate classic plowing and it is never recommended to leave the tractors seat while operating.

Driverless tractors picking rocks and picking up hay bales my dad was way ahead of the times lol.
Thank you.
😁👍👍
23 miles later.... 2 counties away....it ran out of fuel
He wouldn't do this in clay soil. Soils so hard tractor rides wheelies & goes everywhere. A friend told me this..
Years ago customer had an 'operator' jump off a running old 84" pad foot roller that 'wouldn't stop' (he was a moron) on a job site just N of 1604 in San Antonio. They tried to catch it, but in the brush & uneven ground they never could safely try and get back on it. "So what did you do?" "We packed up and left the job site" : ) Said they found it the next morning about a mile away. It finally hit a huge tree it couldn't push over and ran out of fuel. Lucky no one was killed or anything damaged except for a bunch of small trees.
I would love for them to start bringing back some of the old tractor companies like Allis , Oliver and others . Do some retro tractors like they did with some of the cars .
Allis Chalmers were responsible for some interesting ideas when it came to their machines and tractors. I'm pretty sure it was AC who came up with the PAVT method of adjusting the rear wheels for various track widths - particularly useful when setting up to harvest corn with a tractor mounted harvester, although in that instance, the front end was either configured with twin wheels close together, in a 'V' format or just a single but slightly wider tyre, both formats being positioned on the tractor centre line.
PAVT really came in to its own on larger two wheel drive tractors, where the rear tyres and wheel centres were extremely heavy, and as such, potentially dangerous for the operator trying to change wheel track width the old fashioned way, via manual handling.
With PAVT, this task could be accomplished in a matter of seconds.
Sweet old Allis!
It is truly sad that once proud American brands such as Allis-Chalmers, and many others that are no longer made and brands that are still in production are no longer made or controlled by US company’s. I could go on for a very long essay of companies that were industry leaders that were once US owned but now are not and as a result the United States is no longer the industrial power house it once was and unless US company owners don’t wise up quick fast and in a hurry and congress does not protect companies from unwanted corporate raiding sooner or later this country will have no industry’s.
the same thing is happening everywhere in the western world. governments and corporations are the same thing now. nobody will save us but ourselves. average people need to wise up organize and fight, or we will end up like ancient rome. detroit allready looks like that.
gullreefclub yes definitely. Some of the shortest lived companies were very reliable like Allis Chalmers, Oliver and Minneapolis Moline.
Allis sure made a nice looking tractor. We.farmed with them when i was a kid. Included in our fleet was the series II - D21. I loved driving that thing.
D21, what a beast
Big fan of the AC6060, 6070, 6080's! Thanks Jason!
👍👍
My all time favorite tractor. Great tractor
A really interesting and well-produced video. Thanks so much. Driverless tractors are coming indeed and fun to see "old" equipment performing in a similar fashion. - Dean from Minnesota
Really cool. And thanks for the information on the Allis-Chalmers company itself.
This is a Great Video. Love to see more Allis Chalmers videos.
Very nice, beautiful Allis
That was neat !!!
As always farmers and farming leads in all aspects of life
Exactly how we used to pick rocks / stones when I was a teenager. A '75 Ford 4x4 in 4L at idle with a belt tied from the steering wheel tied to the seat frame was the perfect speed for two people to walk beside and toss rocks into the bed.
When we got to the end of the field, we'd just turn it around and head back.
Learned some interesting things about AC in this video...
It's my favorite tractor
Another great video BTP. I especially liked the history...keep it coming. It is only a matter of time before driverless technology for autos is integrated into the Ag business. What a boost to productivity and profits!! Thank you for your continued good work.
Ag business is ahead of auto industry as far as driverless they have been working on it longer.
Sweet!
Nice job!
That round baler brings back memories. Not all of them fond!! Those round bales made good hay but the bales were not easy to handle, especially for a 10 year old. Always carry a hay hook!
Great intro n explaining with driverless tractor, yeah I miss orange AC tractors, I wish ACGO do special edition orange tractors. It have be loaded like Fendt but all round tractor with front end loader, I would definitely buy one.
I know it's a demo bit that plough is doing a fine job of burying the trash.
Interesting video.
If you're ever in Europe, esp England, you may see some farmers using front and rear mounted rollover ploughs. It's an interesting concept in that it uses the push-pull momentum of both ploughs to power them both through the soil. It was a fad in the mid-80s and then died off. Now it's making a comeback in the last 10 years both in the UK and Europe.
That was a beautiful Allis I run an ih 560 diesel
The technology of the future is already here!
The first time I would try that it would be stuck in the middle of someone's house
Right
Lol
I miss 1970’s and ‘80’s farming.
Me too.
Subbed! Great channel
Thank you for watching.
Insane. I did this some times with a Massey Ferguson 275 with a Disc plow.
This video should do well with a click bait title like this one :-).
Back in the early eighties I saw a tractor that drove by itself but was no good at head land turns.
It was in the bottom of a ditch because the driver had fallen asleep!
How many farmers got run over at the end of the row trying to catch a driverless tractor to climb back into the cab to raise the plow and turn it around and line up with the next row???
Several
It's just an endless row of corpses behind it.
None that I know of... I have run my tractor driverless at very low speed pulling a hay wagon while I loaded hay bales, only when no help was available and rain was coming.
I'd much rather drive the tractor and have my wife pick up bales. ;)
I never heard of it all the farmer i know never left the seat.
It's not that dangerous. Take your time and actually think about what you are trying to do. Make deliberate, planned moves and you'll be fine.
I've pull started a tractor all by my lonesome many times.
Hook up the tractor to the truck. Put the truck in gear and step out onto the ground. Wait for the tractor to roll to you. Climb on and put the tractor in gear and let the clutch out. When it finally starts , take it out of gear and step off.
Run to the truck and jump in slowing down slowly so the tractor doesn't slam into the truck.
Piece of cake, right? 😁 Now, you can get some farming done.
Total No till, the future of farming.
Really? A lot of people have gone back to tillage
Robot tractors. What a world that we live in.
Lol, pre technology automated. The IH 720 plow was the best moldboard plow. Outdated tillage now, but it sure covered some acres.
To look at new ideas for tractors and neat designs seems like I’m steady looking at videos from other countries. Emissions laws and safety laws have destroyed the US tractor industries. That said in Yuma Arizona when harvesting watermelons and other stuff like lettuce the muddier tractors are set to barely move then the driver gets off and helps with the harvest. Been doing that for years. It works
I used to have neighbors who would cultivate with 3 tractors and 2 drivers just for fun sometimes. One driver on each end of the field, they would catch em and turn em around. 4020 John Deere tractors with mounted sugar beet cultivators
Hi Jayson, The AC tractor is in great shape. Why are they called "Moldboard Ploughing" thank you in advance. Enjoyed watching Allis Chalmers tractor even without a operator🚜👍
@Big tractor power Yes I would like to see another video of a truly driverless tractor.
All this one did was hug the furrow what you can do without GPS or guidance. Was the tractor able to turn around on its own and make another pass? No one even addressed that... or did I miss it?
We had a Farmall Super C pulling hay wagon. First gear at idle was walking speed. Jump off and throw bales on the wagon. Despite no power steering, it was easy enough to hand twist the steering rod by the front for corrections/corners.
Cool history. Thank you for sharing.
A tractor can work with out a brain, but a farmer can't.
The tractor uses farmer's brain
;-) think you should qualify that statement: .. but a Farmer COULD, now it's the politician guided Satellite doing the job. (daft) Farmer supplies the Capital.
So where's Raison D'être?
I've seen this before a few times, if you set the speed slow enough it's fine. I've also seen a few were they got stopped by a tree...
Ghost ride the whip!
At first I thought maybe somebody was retrofitting an old tractor to be driverless but that makes sense now that the farmer just jumped out still pretty cool though but it does make me sad to know that driverless tractors are coming in the near future so farming will be forever changed again
I actually know an old timer who has plowed whole fields with 2 tractors at a time this way. He’d start the lead tractor on it’s way, then get the following tractor going. Stop the following tractor short at the far end of the field, run ahead to the lead tractor, get it turned around, then go get the following tractor. I don’t know how many times he did this, but I know it happened.
Hey BTP, I can’t remember where I seen or heard this, but didn’t IH make a prototype notill corn planter in the 60s but it didn’t catch on at the time. Something like 50 units were made. I’ll have to do some research again on that.
There’s still a few of them notill AC planters around here, the neighbor guy has one. Seemed like a decent machine although I’ve never ran one.
IH May have. The first no-till was 1962 on 5 acres. Maybe IH was trying no till by the late 60’s. AC had a big multi row no till model featured in the Land Handler magazine around 1970. It was pulled by an Oliver 1955.
bigtractorpower hey BTP, found a link on that experimental IH planter. Hopefully the link works.

Insane... how is it possible? Oh I see now it's in the Furrow.
AC was also a market leader in cotton pickers/harvesters-which seems to be more or less unknown.
Driverless mode would never work on the side hills - it would jump out of the furrow. Re: Driverless tractors of the future - I often wonder if it will be less expensive to have more smaller machines than today's behemoths. For example, 1-row planters or 1-meter wide tillage devices that can run 24 hours. Light machines means no soil compaction.
Mike
I’ve been wondering about the same thing. If you think about it, the transport from field to field may be one of the bigger challenges facing fully autonomous farm machinery. So, smaller machines that are more easily loaded and unloaded from a trailer may be the way to go. Then, one operator could control multiple machines from one hub location as well.
It will be interesting to see how that develops.
I use to do my homework while plowing.
We have a 6080 with out a cab
Oh mann! nothing new under the Sun, .. the general purpose farmer years ago did all that. from the days of the TE-20 without a footplate to stand on ( I wouldn't have done it until the FE-35 came along with footplate. Used to do it whilst feeding livestock in field - let the tractor crawl along randomly across the field whilst you stood in the Ferguson trailer to dish out the Neeps and hay / straw to the cattle / sheep.
Ploughing / cultivating was a regular thing to step off ( never Jump) to see if the adjustment was OK Tractor at rest did NOT show whether implement was set level.
Secret is in the Tractor/Plough Combo setting to get the straight Pull. Was my Party trick to show how well the smaller Green ones could work better than ANY of the Red or Blues at the time. Take Care & Stay safe - I wouldn't do it now with the different Cab & Steps configurations nowadays.
I did that with an 851 Ford ideling in 1'st gear pulling a hay rack picking up rocks out of the fields back in the day, there's no way I would do that plowing at 4-5 MPH, there was just an article in the paper about a young chap who was riding with his buddy and wanted to get off while in motion, he slipped on the tractors step and got run over while his buddy was driving, I believe it took place in Rock County Wisconsin 😰.
cool just dont fall down trying to get back inside the tractor
And I bet no computer can tell when corn stalks build up into a mound in front of the plow shares,,, at which point you have to stop and lift the plow and go over or around it then put the plow down again. I remember that happening on the lower end of a field. The mound of corn stalks was big enough to fill the bed of a pickup. The mound basically high centered the plow so it couldn’t get down into the ground.
Oliver had a set screw by the steering wheel you could tighten that to make the steering turn harder that way it would follow the furrows better. Never tried it had a narrow front no way to drop the tire in plus it would drift according to the tilt of the hill.
One other thing that allis had thats coming back automatic hitches or even what they got in England basically a snap coupler. Also they had a front unload spreader so the weight stayed on the rear tires. So close you cant help but wonder what they could have done
Yeah that driverless tractor could get pretty entertaining if that plow hooks a big rock or a root and rare up and sets the front end over
The original autosteer
1965 Me ; I can't wait to see a driverless 700 hp triple wheeled JD on a rogue mission of destruction and doom operated by Artificial Intelligence .....
Dad : Shit boy that happens everyday I put yer ass in the seat round here 🤣😄🤪
Now if he can get to plant with out a human
We have a 6060 Allis chalmers and we put water in the the tires fire it to pull better and we have put a 4 bottom Massey Ferguson plow
👍👍
Im gunna try driverless plowing with my 7 furrow rollover and if it runs me over its all your fault big tractor power 😂
For the most part if u set a tractors wheels where u want them it'll pretty much drive straight doing anything
Not on my 4wd. Disking it veers ofcourse pretty fast with out a hand on the wheel. The wall of the furrow is a good guide.
Cool trick... Front doesn't always stay straight though duhhh
I keep telling people portrait mode sucks. Glad I'm not the only one.
Lets make sure I have this straight. Someone started the tractor moving, then jumped out. Walked behind and took the video. Then walked up to the moving tractor and climbed back in. Is this right? If this is true, this is worse than poor judgement. Ranks up there with pulling out stuck corn stalks out of an engaged head. What could possibly go wrong.
Well talking driverless sounds great,BUT. My son is trying to not get killed in brand new semi. The other day it locked up the brakes on a railroad crossing Would not move. It saw a sign on the side of road and thought it was a pedestrian 🚶♀️. The real fun thing it does to save fuel is take itself out of gear to coast down hills. Not much fun on an icy ❄️ road. And there is more too. No one can fix it. He is about to shoot it. This is a tough farm kid that could make any piece of junk machinery work. They have a very very long way to go before driverless trucks or tractors are going to work. He makes a lot of money 💰 but is now afraid 😟 he will not live to spend it!!
That is a shame to hear about the new truck. Tech is great when it works. When tech does not it is very frustrating.
It takes a clean furrow to make it happen, which is the correct way. You absolutely could not do this at any of those "plow" days I've seen thus far.
This would not be good to attempt at a plow day.
Your friend isn’t very smart. A guy in Rock County Wisconsin was killed this fall trying to get off a moving tractor. Just because a tractor is moving slow doesn’t mean that an accident can’t happen.
Sure it can run itself. Why would you want to? I would run that rig all weekend for free, I miss farming from my youth so much but it is nearly impossible to do a start up in WI(and likely a lot of other places) anymore due to prohibitive initial costs.
Driverless tractors, driverless cars..... it's all anathema to me. IMO farming has gone down a bad path if your farm is so big you can't turn the earth and plant the crops or harvest them yourself or find enough willing hired hands that you need to rely on robots. Something about having our food grown without human involvement makes me ill.
There is a push for locally grown and sourced foods lately, at least you see it on TV and read about it and some small farmer's markets have popped up where there were none before. America needs to get it's head out of it's... and open their eyes and see that super mass produced, super processed foods are both left wanting in nutrition and flavor, but also are steadily lowering the quality of all of our lives in regards to satisfaction, happiness, and health.
And no one can blame the farmers for this predicament, they must respond to the market or go bankrupt. I am willing to bet there is more than one mega factory farmer out there that pines for simpler days of long past. Somehow everything has gotten expensive, but blue collar wages and farmer's market prices have stayed the same. Yeah, those last two things are probably related.
I don't see this robot tractor stuff as progress, i see it as a symptom of a severe problem with how America treats it's workers and how America views food.
A new worker started on a farm the first morning the farmer put hi on the tractor and told him to start plowing the new hand asked where do I turn around the farmer told him I will catch you at lunch and show you where to turn around
Self driving tractor s with no drivers sounds like a big mess cause then if something happens then the farmer will have to drive out to fix it being if he is already there and has some of the tools or parts on hand he can keep going driverless just sounds like a big mess.
What if it got stuck
Well then they would have to pull it out. The operator was right there walking with the tractor. It was running at 2,000 rpm at less than 3 mph.
They can't even make a car that won't run over people when driverless, but they want to do it with big trucks? lol
RIP all the farmers that lost their jobs due to driverless farm equipment
It will not cost farmers jobs. It will help. I know many farmers who work on their own or have just a son or daughter helping them. At harvest for example one person combines and one runs trucks. With a driverless tractor a grain cart could be run to keep the combine running non stop and the trucks moving.
That sawed off little 4 cylinder combine engine in that 6080 had all it wanted with that 4 bottom on it. I think the 6 cylinder 185 had more power and torque .
That turbo charged 4 cylinder was a wicked high torque fuel sipping engine. The 185 had the 6 cylinder version with no turbo. The 301 like it's little brother a 200 loved a turbo
Hmm I wonder what If it suddenly jumps out of the furrow, for whatever reason possible 🤷♂️seems extremly dangerous to me.
Yea because you totally couldn't catch up to it at all
@@codywalters8234 As stated the tractor was not going very fast. Admit it seemed a bit risky to get into the cab. A tractor without the cab would be much less risky being able to climb onto the tractor in back of the wheels.
Freaky and dangerous
That’s dumb.
I will never want a driverless tractor they are for wimps or people that are just plain lazy
The driverless tractor of the future is not for the lazy in my opinion. I am all about driving tractors but I know so many farmers who are running a farm as a single person or with just a son or daughter or one hired person. Let’s say in harvest you want to run a grain cart but one person is in the combine and the other person is trucking. With a driverless tractor now they can run a grain cart and harvest and truck. Driverless tractors will help hard working farmers get more done in a day.
@@bigtractorpower i understand what you mean but i don't like the idea of driverless tractors

I dislike click bait videos. I always make sure the thumbnail and title deliver exactly as advertised 😁. In this case it is a 6080 plowing with out a driver. I was tempted to not even mention no one was in the cab and just make a spec video and see if anyone noticed.
@@bigtractorpower I wasn't being derogatory, I was being honest. I clicked onto the video excitedly because I assumed that someone had modified an old tractor, and I'm sure that I'm not the only one.
It will be interesting to see how many views it gets.
Cheers
