Van: Now there is a good question, they should all be relagated as parts tractors for keeping every Farmall going. IH didn't need a tractor that heavy to compete with an 8N. SA and SC were allready doing that quite nicely. The SC would have been the tractor to build in a Utility version.

They suposedly put that swept back axle on the 300 Utility to give it manuverability, yet a Farmall with narrow front would out manuver it everytime. Then add those 28" tires versus the 38" on the Farmall and the Utility became a useless piece of horsepower.

IH sold the Utility for less money than a Farmall. I'm certain they didn't build them for any less. I guess they figured since they destroyed the productivity they better give the buyer a break. For the most part the Utilities went to small farms and saw limited use. The power train which is exactly same as the Farmall except for rear axles, would make good parts tractors for badly worn Farmalls.
