Ford 3610 or International Harvester 464?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the International Harvester 464: hydraulic flow. It is also ahead on top speed and PTO speeds. On features, the Ford 3610 is ahead on drive.
- The International Harvester 464 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The International Harvester 464 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 66% (18.0 L/min / 4.8 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Ford 3610 suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: four-wheel drive.
- The International Harvester 464 suits road haulage better on this data: 20% (6.0 km/h / 3.7 mph) more top speed.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “the same stated configuration”. Measured figures are compared only with measured, claimed only with claimed, at the same test condition; differences within each figure’s tolerance are not called.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The International Harvester 464 has 66% more hydraulic flow (18.0 L/min / 4.8 gpm) than the Ford 3610 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The International Harvester 464 has 20% more top speed (6.0 km/h / 3.7 mph) than the Ford 3610 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The International Harvester 464 offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the Ford 3610 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Ford 3610 is available with four-wheel drive; the International Harvester 464 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The Ford 3610 is newer: production began 8 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on power at the PTO shaft (both power at the PTO, claimed): the difference is under the 10% threshold for claimed figures, too small to call.
- Even on three-point lift (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
