ENGINE DETAIL
The International Harvester 244 is equipped with a Mitsubishi 3-cylinder diesel engine, delivering 21hp at 2700 RPM, which offers a good balance between power and fuel efficiency for light to moderate agricultural tasks. Its compact dimensions with a 1.0L displacement promote efficiency in small-scale operations while the liquid cooling system aids in thermal management, ensuring consistent performance. A notable challenge may arise from its limited power output in high-demand scenarios or towing, making it best suited for tasks like tilling and mowing rather than heavy-duty work.

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER 244 ENGINE
The International Harvester 244 tractor, equipped with a Mitsubishi 1.0L 3-cylinder diesel engine, offers efficient fuel consumption and sufficient torque for light to medium agricultural tasks. However, the engine's limited displacement may present a challenge when tackling heavier loads or hilly terrain, potentially leading to reduced performance under stress. This tractor is ideal for small farms or gardening applications where maneuverability and fuel efficiency are prioritized over raw power.

MECHANICAL
The International Harvester 244 tractor offers both 2WD and optional 4WD configurations, allowing for versatility in various terrains and enhancing stability in challenging conditions. With its 9-speed gear transmission, operators can achieve optimal torque and speed for diverse applications, though the manual shifting may pose a learning curve for some users. The optional ROPS canopy provides essential safety features, but the two-post design could limit protection in rollover situations compared to a fully enclosed cab.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The International Harvester 244 features a compact wheelbase of 60 inches (152 cm), enhancing its maneuverability in tight spaces, making it ideal for small farms and landscaping tasks. Weighing 1,716 lbs (778 kg), it offers a balanced center of gravity, which can improve stability during operation, but may limit its load-carrying capabilities compared to heavier tractors. Users should consider its suitability for lighter agricultural tasks and the potential need for additional ballast in hilly terrains to optimize performance.
