ENGINE DETAIL

The International Harvester 374 tractor is equipped with a BD-154 diesel engine, delivering 35hp at a moderate 1600 RPM, making it suitable for light to medium agricultural tasks such as tilling and mowing. Notably, the 154ci (2.5L) displacement provides a balance of torque and efficiency, although it may struggle with heavier loads due to its lower power output. Potential advantages include ease of maintenance, given its simpler engine design, and its 12-volt starting system offers reliable starting in various conditions, but operators should be mindful of its limited power for larger farming operations.

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER 374 ENGINE

The International Harvester 374 features a robust 2.5L 4-cylinder diesel engine, known for its fuel efficiency and durability. Pros include lower operating costs and a compact design, which is advantageous for maneuverability in tight spaces. However, its relatively low horsepower may limit performance in heavy-duty applications, making it ideal for smaller farms or light agricultural tasks.

TRANSMISSION

The International Harvester 374 tractor features an 8-forward and 4-reverse gear transmission system, providing versatility for various agricultural tasks. The presence of four gears with two ranges allows for optimized torque management and better handling on varying terrains, though it may require operator skill to shift efficiently between ranges. This configuration is advantageous for conditions that necessitate both high-speed road travel and low-speed power applications, enhancing overall operational efficiency.

Gears 8 forward and 4 reverse
Description Four gears, plus two reverse, in two ranges.

MECHANICAL

The International Harvester 374 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which provides adequate traction for flat terrains but may struggle on slopes or loose surfaces compared to 4WD models. The standard safety cab enhances operator protection, a crucial aspect for improving safety during heavy-duty operations. Its 8-speed transmission allows for versatile speed adjustments, beneficial for tasks ranging from tilling to transport, though it may require more operator skill to manage effectively.

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER 374 TIRES

The International Harvester 374 tractor features a versatile tire configuration with agricultural front tires sized 6.00x16, providing stability for loader work and field operations, while the rear tires available in multiple sizes (14.9/13x28, 13.6/12x28, 12.4/11x32) enhance traction on varied terrains. This flexibility allows for optimized performance depending on field conditions, but the selection of rear tire size can impact overall clearance and power delivery. Users should consider the intended application—such as row cropping or heavy tillage—to ensure the most appropriate tire setup for efficient operation.
