International 4 wheel drives (4300)


The international harvester company also made 4 wheel drives. They were good tractors for farmers that farmed big at the time. The 4300 was the first international 4 wheel drive. They were good tractors but were too big for the small farmers at their time. Only 44 of these tractors were made. They had 203 hp. The production of the 4300 ran from 1961 to 1965. It was the beginning of the IH 4WD line that would run for 20 years. The 4300 came with air brakes which were a new thing at the time in tractors. It also had a rear hydraulic lifting draw bar. The lifting draw bar gave you the right height for the implement you would be pulling. The 4300 had no cab but a cab was optional.
