International Harvester 323

The International Harvester 323 is a utility tractor built for farm work. It has a 2-wheel drive system and a manual steering setup. The tractor uses a gear transmission with 8 forward gears and 2 reverse gears, giving drivers good control over speed and power. Under the hood, the 323 has a 3-cylinder diesel engine made by International Harvester. This engine is liquid-cooled and naturally aspirated, meaning it doesn't use a turbocharger. It produces 27.6 horsepower, which is below average for tractors but suitable for many farm tasks. The engine size is also below average, but it runs at a very low RPM, which can help save fuel. The tractor weighs 4,365 pounds, making it about average in terms of weight for its class. It has a Category I hitch at the back for attaching various farm tools. The 323 is compact, measuring 116.5 inches long, 59.8 inches wide, and 88.58 inches tall. It has agricultural tires front and back, with larger rear tires for better traction. The tractor has good ground clearance at 14.6 inches, helpful for working in rough fields. It uses an electric starter, making it easy to get going in the morning. International Harvester, the maker of this tractor, was known for building reliable farm equipment before merging with other companies to form Case IH.
