ENGINE DETAIL
The International Harvester Titan 30-60 features a robust kerosene engine with a substantial displacement of 29.2L, which enhances torque and power delivery for heavy-duty tasks. However, its large bore and stroke ratio may lead to increased fuel consumption and maintenance challenges due to engine wear. When considering applications, this tractor's unique starter options—early compressed air and later gas pony motor—provide flexibility but may affect serviceability depending on the era and operating conditions.

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER TITAN 30-60 ENGINE
The International Harvester Titan 30-60 features a robust 29.2L 2-cylinder kerosene engine, ideal for applications requiring high torque and efficiency. With a substantial fuel tank capacity of 47 gallons, combined with an auxiliary fuel reserve of 26.5 gallons, this tractor offers extended operational periods without frequent refueling—beneficial for large-scale farming or construction tasks. However, the reliance on kerosene may pose challenges regarding fuel availability and cost fluctuations, necessitating consideration of local fuel infrastructure in operational planning.

TRANSMISSION
The International Harvester Titan 30-60 features a simple gear transmission system with one forward gear and one reverse gear. This limited gearing can enhance ease of operation in specific tasks like plowing and moving materials, but it may impede versatility and speed for diverse agricultural applications. Its straightforward design minimizes mechanical complexity, potentially leading to easier maintenance, although power transmission efficiency might be lower compared to modern multi-speed tractors.

| Gears | 1 forward and reverse |
MECHANICAL
The International Harvester Titan 30-60 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, making it suitable primarily for flat terrain but limiting its performance in hilly environments. Its manual steering system provides direct control, although it may require more physical effort compared to modern power steering systems. With a 1-speed transmission, this tractor is designed for straightforward tasks but lacks versatility for varying field conditions, making it ideal for specific, repetitive agricultural applications.

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER TITAN 30-60 TIRES
The International Harvester Titan 30-60 features robust steel wheels, with a narrower 44x10 front design allowing for enhanced maneuverability while maintaining stability. The larger 72x24 rear wheels provide substantial traction and weight distribution, crucial for power delivery during heavy-field operations. However, the all-steel construction may lead to increased soil compaction, making this tractor ideal for well-drained, less sensitive soil scenarios.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The International Harvester Titan 30-60 tractor, with a weight range of 20,300 to 20,600 pounds, indicates significant stability and traction for farming tasks, especially in heavy soil conditions. Its large rear tires (72x24) provide excellent flotation and reduce soil compaction, while the front tires (44x10) enable maneuverability. However, operators should be mindful of the tractor's weight during transport, as it may require specialized hauling equipment.
