Common questions
International Harvester Cub weight FAQ
How much does an International Harvester Cub weigh?
The International Harvester Cub weighs 1,477 lb (669 kg) using the published Operating — early figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 1,477 to 2,891 lb (669 to 1,311 kg).
What is the operating weight of the International Harvester Cub?
The published operating weight is 1,477–1,877 lb (670–851 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 Cub weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 2,891 lb (1,311 kg). That is up to 1,414 lb (95.7%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the International Harvester Cub a lightweight farm tractor?
Yes. The representative figure sits at about the 5th percentile, lighter than roughly 95% of the all tractors in this dataset. That puts it in the very light range for this comparison. It is 8,450 lb lighter than the peer-group average of 9,927 lb.
How wide is the International Harvester Cub for transport?
The maximum published tractor width is 48.2 in (4 ft). That is 53.8 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 Cub weight-to-horsepower ratio?
Using the page’s representative 1,477 lb weight and 13 hp power figure, the tractor carries about 113.6 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.
