ENGINE DETAIL
The International Harvester 1046 tractor features a robust D-358 diesel engine with a 5.9L displacement, providing 108.5hp at a rated RPM of 2100, which ensures efficient operation for various heavier agricultural tasks. Its 16:1 compression ratio improves fuel combustion efficiency, making it advantageous for long-duration operations, but necessitates regular maintenance to prevent overheating given its significant coolant and oil capacities (28.5qts and 14.8qts, respectively). With its substantial torque output, this tractor is well-suited for tasks like plowing and heavy towing, though its weight and dimensions may pose handling challenges in tighter settings.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The International Harvester 1046 tractor features a choice between a 12-speed or a 16-speed transmission, providing flexibility in managing power and speed for various farming operations. The 16-speed variant offers finer control over engine RPM and load matching, which can enhance productivity in tasks such as plowing or hauling. However, the increased complexity of the 16-speed system may lead to higher maintenance needs and potential repair costs compared to the simpler 12-speed option.

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER 1046 TIRES
The International Harvester 1046 tractor offers versatile tire configurations, with both 2WD and 4WD options to cater to various agricultural needs. The use of standard 18.4/15x38 rear tires enhances traction and stability on uneven terrain, while front tire sizes (ranging from 7.50x18 to 11.25/13x24) provide adaptability in load handling and steering responsiveness. However, 2WD may struggle on soft soils compared to 4WD, making the choice of drive system critical for specific field conditions.
