Common questions
International Harvester 606 weight FAQ
How much does an International Harvester 606 weigh?
The International Harvester 606 weighs 5,215 lb (2,365 kg) using the published Gas Operating figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 5,215 to 8,908 lb (2,365 to 4,041 kg).
What is the operating weight of the International Harvester 606?
The published operating weight is 5,215–5,465 lb (2,365–2,479 kg). This is usually a more useful real-world figure than a bare shipping specification, although ballast, loader, fuel, implements and tire setup can still increase actual working weight.
How much does the International Harvester 606 weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 8,908 lb (4,041 kg). That is up to 3,693 lb (70.8%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the International Harvester 606 heavy or light for a utility tractor?
It is close to average for its peer group. The representative figure sits at about the 56th percentile, near the middle of the utility tractor peers. That puts it in the average range for this comparison. It is 48 lb lighter than the peer-group average of 5,263 lb.
What is the International Harvester 606 weight-to-horsepower ratio?
Using the page’s representative 5,215 lb weight and 50 hp power figure, the tractor carries about 104.3 lb per horsepower. A lower lb/hp number means less tractor mass for each horsepower; this is a comparison metric, not a traction or performance rating.
How many tons does the International Harvester 606 weigh?
The representative published weight is about 2.61 US tons, while the full published range is 2.61–4.45 US tons. Loaded transport weight can be higher than the tractor specification.
