TRANSMISSION
The International Harvester B-434 features an 8-speed forward and 2-speed reverse transmission, allowing for versatile operation across various terrain and tasks, enhancing its efficiency in fieldwork. The broad gear range can facilitate both high-speed transport and low-speed plowing, which is advantageous for optimizing fuel consumption and engine load. However, operators may need to adapt to the gear shifting technique to achieve optimal performance in different scenarios, particularly when transitioning from transport to field applications.

MECHANICAL
The International Harvester B-434 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, providing decent traction for flat terrain, but may struggle on steep or muddy surfaces. Its mechanical steering system offers simplicity and reliability, though it may require more physical effort compared to power-assisted alternatives. The 8-speed transmission allows for versatile speed control, enhancing its adaptability for various agricultural tasks, but may require more operator skill to optimize performance in demanding conditions.
