Bottoms are available for any soil. A reserve of precious water can mean the difference between a bountiful harvest and just an ordinary crop. The Allis-Chalmers CA Tractor with subsoiler penetrates to a depth of 18 inches and shatters hard-pan. This permits more water to accumulate in the subsoil and allows plant roots to penetrate deeper in search of water and plant food. Low-cost subsoiling with your own equipment is another advantage of owning an Allis-Chalmers CA, WD or WD-45 Tractor.

Automatic Traction Booster and low, forward, single hitchpoint give necessary traction for real subsoiling with a wheel tractor. Ask us to prove it with a field demonstration.
