INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER B-275 ENGINES
The International Harvester B-275 features a robust 2.3L four-cylinder diesel engine for superior fuel efficiency and torque, making it ideal for heavy-duty tasks. In contrast, the gasoline variant offers quicker starts and lower initial costs but may lack the torque and endurance of its diesel counterpart. Consider the application: for prolonged agricultural use under load, the diesel engine is preferable; for lighter tasks or less frequent usage, the gasoline option may suffice.

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER B-275 TRANSMISSION
The International Harvester B-275 features an 8-speed transmission, offering versatility in various terrains and workloads. This enhancement allows for efficient speed adjustments, providing better control and fuel efficiency during farming operations. However, users may need to familiarize themselves with the shifting pattern to maximize the tractor’s potential, particularly in demanding tasks like plowing or heavy hauling.
MECHANICAL
The International Harvester B-275 is a two-wheel drive tractor designed for versatility in light agricultural tasks. Its open operator station enhances visibility and accessibility but may expose the operator to weather elements, which can be a disadvantage in adverse conditions. Ideal for small to medium-sized farms, it provides an economical option for basic plowing, cultivation, and other field operations.
