Common questions
International Harvester 4586 weight FAQ
How much does an International Harvester 4586 weigh?
The International Harvester 4586 weighs 25,750 lb (11,680 kg) using the published Operating figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 22,370 to 29,870 lb (10,147 to 13,549 kg).
What is the operating weight of the International Harvester 4586 compared with shipping weight?
Published operating weight is 25,750 lb (11,680 kg), versus 22,370 lb (10,147 kg) for shipping weight. That is roughly 3,380 lb (15.1%) 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 4586 weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 29,870 lb (13,549 kg). That is up to 7,500 lb (33.5%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the International Harvester 4586 a heavy farm tractor?
Yes. The representative figure sits at about the 92nd percentile, heavier than roughly 92% of the all tractors in this dataset. That puts it in the very heavy range for this comparison. It is 15,823 lb heavier than the peer-group average of 9,927 lb.
Is the International Harvester 4586 wider than 8.5 feet?
Yes. The maximum published width is 116 in (9.7 ft), which is 14 in wider than 8.5 ft. Actual transport width still depends on wheel/tire spacing and installed equipment.
Does the International Harvester 4586 weigh more than 10,000 lb?
Yes. The representative published weight is 25,750 lb, and the heaviest published configuration on this page is 29,870 lb (14.94 US tons). Any trailer calculation also needs the trailer itself plus fuel, ballast, attachments and other equipment.
