I’ve owned an HD5 with a straight blade for nearly 20 years and had absolutely no issues with it. It’s the perfect size for me. It’s heavy enough to tackle any job I give it but not too heavy for wetlands if I’m careful and use my head. It sips fuel ⛽️. I work the snot out of it digging ponds and building roadways. I don’t think it’s ever used more than 1.5 gallons per hour.
That is the lugging power of the Allis Chalmers. I grew up learning to drive tractors on the small D 17, then dad traded up to the XT 190 Diesel. Great 6 row tractor. Loved that tractor and driving it. I liked the work that went with farming, but didn't go to that as a life work as farmers have too many factors they can't control. I ended up being a Registered Nurse and Paramedic and very active in my church.
I brought my 80 HP Cat D4 that weighs about 18,000 pounds to a pull. They had a heavier sled. The guy on the sled probably never had a Cat pull the sled. He dad the weight all the way to the front within a very short distance, that stoped me. The old Farmall M tractors went farther than I did. Next time I think I will bring my 34,000 pound D6, he won't stop that.
I operated one of these with blade and winch in oilfield for years it was a awesome machine the power that little 2cyl gimmy diesel was unbelievable. Even dragging large trucks through the mudd didnt slow this machine down.
@@RJ1999x I like how you're trying to argue the point that x brand is better than brand y & z when they're on the same level of quality, also Caterpillar is what people think of when you say bulldozer, AC is not.
I have a 190XT. Thought the power director was weak so I chained it to a large tree with a large chain on the drawbar. The tractor squatted on the tires and casually pulled the chain into. I guess the power director is OK.
HD-5's were rated at 38.2 drawbar horsepower at 1800 rpm. This little crawler seemed to be at idle. Must have made a horse power bigger back then. In farm operations the HD-5's and HD-6's were renowned for their ability to pull.
GM engines came in all matters of sizes and configurations. Up to 16 cylinders and all the way to train engines which were the EMD variety. EMD was the ElectroMotive Division of GM now bought up by Cat. They had the 53 series, the 71's and 92's. Plus 110's and 149's. The exhaust could be on either side and they could be made to turn in either direction but not both. They were turned on their side at about a 45 degree angle for busses and used in everything from tanks to boats. VERY versatile.

So delightful! I saw that coming, knew he'd go out the end. Into the next state, too, if needed.
It's a stout little crawler.
Damn that's a strong tractor!
Remarkable engine consept for its day in time Gymmy ,Detroit .
That's what a 2-71 will do in the right situation and equipment! Thanks!
An actually good 2-cylinder diesel
(waits to be shot by John Deere fan boys)

Ken Jett same what very old drivers say here in Austria. The HD5 was better than the HD6 becsuse of the Detroit 2-71.
so smol, yet so stronk
Awesome cab!
If it didn't overachieve, it wouldn't be an Allis Chalmers
or an IH, or a CAT.
@@CoalChrome they couldn't hang with an Allis Chalmers
@@RJ1999x they could and did, considering that CAT is still around and making dozers and IH did it up until the 70s.
@@CoalChrome actually means nothing. Fiat is still around also, and that proves nothing

Wiserguy def not at idle you an hear the screamn’ jimmy, I think you’re mistaken the sound of the tractor for the sound of the chamlmers
j ai un HD5A c est incroyable la puissance et le couple du 2 71 GM
This has just 2 cylinders..??
2-71- 71 cubic inches per cylinder.
So 2 cylinders at 71 cu,inches each, I take it? Unbelievable..
What is the horrible 'chuffing' noise in the background? Is that the noise of another something or other?

Sounds like another display engine, maybe even a steam job.
alguem pode me ajudar?!, preciso saber qual a diferença de peças do hd4 x hd5, quais peças são diferente, desde já agradeço.
