Tractor Comparison[]
As shown in the accompanying table, the International 284 Diesel 4WD was priced quite a bit lower than all of the other tractors in the same power class except the very light Bolens-Iseki G244. Going by serial number records, 3,310 of the 284 4WD tractors were built before the failing International Harvester sold its farm equipment operations to Tenneco. Under Tenneco, production was restarted with the tractor named the Case-International 284 Diesel 4WD
