New A-C Lawn Tractor

[TommyK]

It's no secret the Allis Chalmers name is now pretty much defunct as far as farm tractors go. AGCO made decision to consolidate their world wide production down from a half dozen or so brands down to one: Massey-Ferguson. Somewhere on the world wide web, I saw a new garden tractor with the A-C logo on it. Brand spanking, show room new. I'll be dogged if I can find it again. Who is making it?

whoever making MF mowers

It`s a Simplicity tractor with a Murray deck. The all wheel steer I believe is a Murray. Briggs bought them out a couple years ago when they (Murray) went bankrupt, according to a dealer. http://www.allischalmerslawn.com/

Tommy, to elaborate a little more on Ray's info. The new AC-130's are identical to the Simplicity Regent and Snapper LT-125. The all-wheel steer version, as Ray said is the murray drive train and is also available in a Snapper version. A few of us on here own these AC-130's so feel free to ask for more info on them.

What do you think of these new AC's Would you buy them again?

Hi, The new ACs are basically the Regent, originaly supposed to have a lighter transmission, I think there was a problem getting it to fit the Regent frame and I think they have the better transmission that the Regent uses. They have the Murray deck though and are lower priced than the Regent. Want one? I have them. Al Eden

I have had one almost 2 years now. Have been very happy with it. I would buy another one.

No. http://www.allischalmerslawn.com/products/detail.cfm?id=148572cbdaa7a3282d365aca992a6bd8

Ah. There it is. Too much cream in the hood for my liking. needs to be more orange. So, is there anyone else, other than Simplicity making garden/lawn tractors for sale in the US?

No, but I have been told a Simplicity deck will attach without modification.
