Allis chalmers sickle mower question

Question regarding allis chalmers mower heads, I am familiar with New Holland, International etc. Was there any set backs to the Allis Chalmers heads? I have seen pictures and videos. Also what was the knife speed. For instance the new Holland are rated at 1600 strokes per minute the international were at about 2000. Was the allis concept good and worth getting. Help is appreciated--Adam
 
The ac heads are grooved and fit into a matching
grooved piece on the twin wheel drive. No clue on
speed. That are ok mowers but just ok
 
If you are talking about the later model Twin Wheel Drive models I don't know the exact speed but they'll cut as well or better than any sickle bar ever built.They did have several issues
with the bearings in rear of the arms being the worst,all bolts needed to be kept tight as they tended to vibrate loose.I used the different AC Twin Wheel Drive models for years but have now switched to New Holland as parts are easy to come by for the New Holland and not very available for the AC.Also the AC mowers needed to have a very sharp sickle at all times to minimize wear and tear of course that's really true of any sickle bar mower.
