The axial flow combines were he best. IH was second place in the combine business before they got the axial flow. The IH harvester company went full tilt into making a machine that was totally different than all the other machines in the industry.
The 1480 had a 190HP DT-436 IH engine, 30 inch rotor, 208 bushel grain tank, and a sieve cleaning area of 6420 square inches. The 1460 had a 170HP DT-436 IH engine, 24inch rotor, 180 bushel capacity grain tank, with a sieve cleaning area of 4750 square inches. The 1440 had a 135HP D-436 IH engine,24 inch rotor, 145 bushel capacity grain tank, with a sieve cleaning area of 4750 square inches. While the 1440 and 1460 shared the same threshing and separating specs, there were a few other differences besides grain tank capacity and engine horsepower. IH also offered a hillside model 1470 with a 210hp IH DT-466 engine, 145 bushel grain tank, 24 inch rotor and the 1482 pull-type combine requiring a 130hp or larger tractor, 30 inch rotor and 245 bushel grain tank.
