In the 1960s, Allis-Chalmers had several plans to enter the market for large four-wheel-drive tractors. The furthest developed was the T16, built from a wheel loader, of which about twenty were sold to sugarcane plantations in Florida. In 1972, an agreement was reached with Steiger to paint the Bearcat in Allis orange. The result was the 440 Landhandler. The engine chosen was a Cummins V8 with a power output of 218 hp. The transmission was a Fuller mechanical 10+2, and the axles were from Dana. The cab was isolated from the chassis, and air conditioning was available as an option. The three-point hitch and external hydraulics were also optional extras. Over a thousand 440s were sold, with many going to Australia.
