Common questions
International Harvester 454 weight FAQ
How much does an International Harvester 454 weigh?
The International Harvester 454 weighs 4,400 lb (1,995 kg) using the published Operating — gas figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 3,780 to 7,470 lb (1,714 to 3,388 kg).
What is the operating weight of the International Harvester 454 compared with shipping weight?
Published operating weight is 4,400–4,720 lb (1,996–2,141 kg), versus 3,780–4,000 lb (1,715–1,814 kg) for shipping weight. That is roughly 620 lb (16.4%) more than shipping weight. Operating weight is generally the more useful starting point when estimating a ready-to-use tractor.
How much does the International Harvester 454 weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 7,470 lb (3,388 kg). That is up to 3,690 lb (97.6%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the International Harvester 454 heavy or light for a utility tractor?
It is close to average for its peer group. The representative figure sits at about the 49th percentile, near the middle of the utility tractor peers. That puts it in the average range for this comparison. It is 863 lb lighter than the peer-group average of 5,263 lb.
How wide is the International Harvester 454 for transport?
The maximum published tractor width is 66 in (5.5 ft). That is 36 in under 8.5 ft before allowing for a loader, duals, implements or other equipment that may increase transport width.
What is the International Harvester 454 weight-to-horsepower ratio?
Using the page’s representative 4,400 lb weight and 50 hp power figure, the tractor carries about 88 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.
