300 Utility Industrial vs. Agricultural

Anonymous-0 · Nov 9, 2011

I was wondering what differences there are between a 300 Utility Industrial versus the Agricultural version?
Thank you for any help.

Stance and physical size are the major diffrence between the Utility and the FArmall.Steering and front ends are diffrent. Engines are the same, TA is the same, both could be had with Power steering, fasthitch. They are really the same tractor but intended for diffrent use. check out external_link you can learn more about them there.

The 300U stand more like say the Ford 801 series tractors and the ag 300 sits up more like the M Farmall

Im not so sure youre being understood, or not, but if youre asking what I think you are, well, assuming it would be the same as other standards, if there were. Inustrials would have had a gas pedal and regualr throttle, maybe narrower, different front axle, etc., etc.

The utility tractors were a low profile style and could be used for any farm applications. What you are refering to as agricultural would have been the row crop tractors. There were models of tractors with industrial versions but I don't think any of the utility tractors were considered industrial versions.

The Utility series were all INTERNATIONAL, IH made std, & row crop (or high clearance), front axles were swept back, the hydraulics & hitch rear frame was for lower profile, the row crop was a Utility fitted with higher length front spindles + adjustable width axle tubes & rear axles off a Farmall with slideable rear axles & wheels. The parts book shows what was available in each respective section. Power steering, 2 or 3 point hitch, seats, LPG, Diesel were some of options. If you had a I350 with 3pt, diesel, Hi-crop, it would be a unusual tractor.

John like you I think he wants to know the differences in a 300 U used for agriculture and a 300 U chassis with some different equipment used or added to it for industrial use. Be hard to give a standard answer because some were equiped for different things or sold to other companys that installed there equipment on tractor. IH would probably equip the basic tractors for the customers needs. Could be wrong on the question though.

IH did not call any 300 or 350 an industrial tractor, they are both considered agricultural. In fact the 350 wheatland was a "replacement" for the Super W4, definitely an agricultural tractor. There was no 300 wheatland. True, they are not high clearance and can use only a rear mount cultivator. One reason, probably the main reason they were developed was to give competition to the Ford 8N, JD did the same with their utilities. Many 300/350's were equipped with loaders, etc, and may not have been used for tillage, but they could be. As Dave said below, either IH or the company they sold them to could modify them to suit their needs, anything from using as a tug to pull an airplane to military and highway dept uses.

IH parts catalog in paper or microfiche or computer will list all 300/350 in either a Farmall list or entirely different in another International list catalog. Not much was common in the hydraulics, the steering, axles, sheet metal. Utility tells me as a parts guy that it was a International.
