Why does it seem as if Allis Chalmers sponsored the tractors for this one? Can anyone who has seen the credits confirm? |

Were the tractors all current models when the film was made? |

I just rewatched the credits, no word about Allis-Chalmers... I guess this is the movie with the most AC! -- Last edit: 2007-10-11 19:53:32 |

Gag, they were about as current as you could get as far as I could establish (not being an expert on AC). They sold out to K-H-Deutz AG in 1985, i.e. before the movie was released (and went over to AGCO in 1990, FWIW). The tractors here all seem to be 1980>, therefore the last "real" ACs made. |

Garco, please see my comment to Gag above - could that have anything to do with it? |

I have read it, but I don't understand what you mean ![]() |

OK, sorry - not very clear: *Could* it be that: - AC was indeed involved in the supply of vehicles for the film in a last-ditch marketing attempt, but that the take-over caught up with them and the credits scrapped? - Deutz was keen to sustain the market position of AC (did KHD get any credits maybe?) I know I am wildly speculating due to an hyperactive imagination, but there has to be a reason behind all the tractors in a movie being of one brand (in its death-throes)... ![]() -- Last edit: 2007-10-12 22:30:00 |

No, Deutz (KHD) was also not named in the credits. But you're theory could be right though? |

I still find it hilarious that the dealership sign has IH on it. |
