Did Chrysler build tractors ? ? ?

  1. 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.

    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.

    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.
