The International 340 was a utility tractor built by International Harvester from 1958 to 1963 in the USA.

Model history

Main article: International Harvester

For orchard & grove model see: International 340 Grove. For industrial model see: International 340 Industrial

The International 340 utility replaced the International 330 in 1958. The new model got a new chassis with centered steering and new styling shared with the International 240 and the larger 460 and 560 tractors. A new 166 ci 4-cylinder diesel engine was made available for the 340 in 1960.

Tractor Comparison, gasoline version

In 1958 the International 340 gasoline-powered utility tractor was roughly competitive in power with the Case 310B, David Brown 25, Ferguson T)35, Ford 601-series, Massey-Ferguson MF50, and Minneapolis-Moline 335 Utility. The Oliver 550 offered more power than the International 340 for a lower price. John Deere's nearest model, the 430 Utility, was a slightly smaller, less powerful, tractor. In 1960 the Case 540 produced more power than the International for a slightly lower price and the Case 440 gave almost as much power as the International for an even lower price. The Ford 2000 utility, John Deere 1010 Utility, Massey Ferguson MF35, and Oliver 500 all achieved about the same power level as the International 340 for lower prices. The Fiat 411Rb and Fiat-built Cockshutt 411Rg also had about the same power as the International 340. In 1962 International brought out the more-powerful International 504 to replace the 340.

Tractor Comparison, diesel version

When the International 340 was introduced in 1958 there was no diesel engine option to compete with the many other diesel utility tractors its power class. Finally, International brought out a 166 ci 4-cylinder diesel in 1960. The 340 diesel competed with the Case 530, Ford 801-Series, Minneapolis-Moline 445 Utility, and Oliver 550. The David Brown 850, Fiat 411R and similar Fiat-built Cockshutt 411R, John Deere 1010 Utility, Massey Ferguson MF35 and MF 50, and David Brown-built Oliver 500 were all slightly less powerful. The John Deere 2010RU "row-crop utility" was larger and more powerful. In 1961-62 the new David Brown 880, David Brown-built Oliver 600, and smaller Ford 2000 Super Dexta all equaled the power of the International 340 diesel.
