How wide is the International Harvester TD-9 for transport?
The maximum published tractor width is 59 in (4.9 ft). That is 43 in under 8.5 ft before allowing for a loader, duals, implements or other equipment that may increase transport width.
Does the International Harvester TD-9 weigh more than 10,000 lb?
Yes. The representative published weight is 10,800 lb, and the heaviest published configuration on this page is 10,800 lb (5.4 US tons). Any trailer calculation also needs the trailer itself plus fuel, ballast, attachments and other equipment.
What is the International Harvester TD-9 weight-to-horsepower ratio?
Using the page’s representative 10,800 lb weight and 49.5 hp power figure, the tractor carries about 218.2 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.
