TRANSMISSION
The International Harvester D-217 features a 6-forward and 1-reverse gear configuration, which provides versatility for various agricultural tasks, allowing for efficient maneuvering and speed adjustments on diverse terrains. The simplicity of the gear design offers ease of operation, but the limited reverse gear may pose challenges in tight spaces. This tractor is ideal for farming scenarios where straightforward gear management is advantageous, yet it may require careful navigation in confined areas.

MECHANICAL
The International Harvester D-217, with its 4x2 2WD chassis and 6-speed gear transmission, provides a reliable option for straightforward field operations requiring moderate power. However, the manual steering may pose challenges in maneuverability during tight turns or extended use, particularly on uneven terrain. The open operator station offers unencumbered visibility, but it exposes the operator to weather conditions, making it less favorable for long periods of operation in adverse environments.

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER D-217 TIRES
The International Harvester D-217 tractor features agricultural tires with a front size of 5.00x16 and adjustable rear tires of 9x24 or 8x32, allowing for versatile field performance and improved traction. The smaller front tires enhance maneuverability in tight spaces, while the option for larger rear tires boosts stability and load capacity for heavy-duty tasks. However, operators must consider potential challenges in maintaining tire compatibility and balance during varied agricultural operations.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The International Harvester D-217 tractor has a compact wheelbase of 68.1 inches, which enhances maneuverability in tight spaces, making it suitable for small to medium-sized farms. Weighing 2350 lbs provides a favorable power-to-weight ratio, which can be advantageous for light tillage and row-crop applications but may limit stability in rough terrain. The tire dimensions suggest modest flotation; however, the rear tire size may pose challenges in heavy-duty applications or prolonged use in wet conditions, potentially leading to soil compaction.
