Common questions
International Harvester 460 weight FAQ
How much does an International Harvester 460 weigh?
The International Harvester 460 weighs 5,015 lb (2,274 kg) using the published Gas Operating figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 5,015 to 8,581 lb (2,274 to 3,892 kg).
What is the operating weight of the International Harvester 460?
The published operating weight is 5,015–5,255 lb (2,275–2,384 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 460 weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 8,581 lb (3,892 kg). That is up to 3,566 lb (71.1%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the International Harvester 460 heavy or light for a utility tractor?
It is close to average for its peer group. The representative figure sits at about the 54th percentile, near the middle of the utility tractor peers. That puts it in the average range for this comparison. It is 248 lb lighter than the peer-group average of 5,263 lb.
How wide is the International Harvester 460 for transport?
The maximum published tractor width is 64 in (5.3 ft). That is 38 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 460 weight-to-horsepower ratio?
Using the page’s representative 5,015 lb weight and 61 hp power figure, the tractor carries about 82.2 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.
