Flexibility is the key to staying productive. And that’s exactly what
you’ll find with the AGCO® Allis 5670 utility tractor.
The Key To Effective Middle Management.
In fact, this mid-range tractor has a 63 PTO hp engine that offers
you the ultimate in maneuverability. Its low height and low center
of gravity make this the ideal tractor for working inside buildings
and other confined work areas. And because the platform is low
to the ground, it’s easy to get on and off the tractor.
• The synchromesh transmission has 16 forward and 16 reverse
speed choices, with synchronized shifting in four gears and a
synchronized forward/reverse shuttle.
• These directional changes help to reduce loader and rear blade
cycle times.
• The AWD models feature a true centerline drive shaft for
more efficient power transfer and less maintenance.
• As always, behind every AGCO Allis tractor lies a 4-year/
4,000-hour warranty that’s backed by your dealer.
To get a closer look at the 5670, stop by and see us. We’ll be happy
to show you the way to higher productivity.

Airy, Md., was exciting news for
the daughter of Lowell and Phyllis
Thomas who is showing for the
eighth year.

enjoyment of horseback riding
and pencil drawing.
Unlike her mother, Melinda
prefers farm work to house work,

likes the house,” Melinda says of
her mom, “and I like the bam.”
