Introduction
International Harvester 1486B Row-Crop Tractor
The International Harvester 1486B is a row-crop tractor produced between 1981 and 1982 in Geelong, Australia. With a limited production run of 64 units, this model represents a specialized configuration within the manufacturer's heavy-duty tractor lineup, designed for demanding agricultural operations.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by the International Harvester DT-436, a 7.1-liter, six-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. This liquid-cooled power plant generates 167 horsepower (124.5 kW) at a rated speed of 2600 RPM. The engine utilizes a 4.30 x 5.00-inch bore and stroke configuration, providing the necessary torque for heavy-duty field applications.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 1486B features a 16-speed forward and 4-speed reverse transmission, incorporating a two-speed power shift and a Torque Amplifier. Power is transmitted through a hydraulic cerametallic disc clutch. The drivetrain supports two- or four-wheel drive configurations and includes an electro-hydraulic rear differential lock to enhance traction in varied soil conditions.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system utilizes an open-center design. The tractor is equipped with an independent rear power take-off (PTO) capable of operating at 540 or 1000 RPM, selectable at 2300 engine RPM. The rear hitch is compatible with Category III/II implements, allowing for versatile equipment integration.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
The tractor is supplied with a standard factory cab. Maneuverability is facilitated by power steering, while braking is managed by hydraulic wet disc brakes. The machine measures 168.1 inches (426 cm) in length and 102 inches (259 cm) in width, with a ground clearance of 15.4 inches (39 cm). The operating weight is 13,371 lbs (6065 kg), supported by 11.00-16 front and 24.5-32 rear agricultural tires.
Conclusion
The International Harvester 1486B is a heavy-duty row-crop tractor engineered for high-output agricultural tasks. Its combination of a high-torque turbocharged engine, versatile transmission, and substantial weight distribution makes it suitable for intensive primary tillage and large-scale field operations.
