MECHANICAL
The International Harvester 323 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which offers simplicity and is suitable for light to moderate agricultural tasks, but may struggle with traction on uneven terrain. The manual steering requires user skill and can lead to fatigue over long periods, while the disc brakes provide reliable stopping power but demand routine maintenance for optimal performance. The open operator station enhances visibility and airflow, making it ideal for warm climates, though it may expose the operator to the elements.
