Did Chrysler build tractors ? ? ?

[Hans-Marc Olsen]

I need a new tractor for my farm and I heard that Chrysler tractors a good.

Is that true?

Yah, It was the first generation Abrahms tank. Unstoppable! Boulder in the way. Blast it with the gun.

Really, I don't know off-hand if they made tractors. But, They probably did. They made boats and snow-runner snowmachines and snowblowers also, as well as air-conditioners for homes and businesses.

Plymouth made tractors years ago..

They still do, although they are semi-trailer tractors. Their marketed under the brnads Freightliner, Sterling, Western Star. How good they'd be at pulling a 6-bottom plow is debatable.

Now with the right attachment, a Unimog might have a chance at a 2- or 3-bottom in sand.

Here's something wild from the 50's: a Chrylser V-8 hemi-powered air raid siren:

138 dB at 100 ft. 30,000 watts.
Advertised range: 4 miles. Under optimum conditions: 50 miles!

Not aware of a chrysler built tractor, but there were quite a few "assembled" brands that used the Chrysler Industrial engine.

At least one model of Massey Harris used it (333 I think) and the Co-Op, Norseman, and a handful of others.

I once owned a Chrysler sailboat, an 18-foot centerboard sloop. Nice design, very fast, heavily oversailed ... but quite poorly built.
