Introduction
International Harvester Hydro 100 Row-Crop Tractor
The International Harvester Hydro 100 is a row-crop tractor produced between 1973 and 1976 in Rock Island, Illinois. Part of the 966 and 1066 series, this model was designed to offer precise speed control for various agricultural operations through its hydrostatic transmission.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by an International Harvester 6-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 436 cubic inches (7.1 liters). This liquid-cooled unit operates at a rated speed of 2400 RPM with a compression ratio of 15.8:1. It utilizes a dual-stage dry air cleaner to maintain intake quality during field work.
Transmission and Hydraulics
A defining feature of the Hydro 100 is its hydrostatic transmission, which provides infinite forward and reverse speeds across two ranges, allowing for seamless speed adjustment without gear shifting. The hydraulic system is of the open-center type, delivering a pump flow of 12 gpm (45.4 lpm).
PTO and Hitch
The machine is equipped with an independent rear power take-off (PTO) that supports both 540 and 1000 RPM speeds using a 1.375-inch shaft. For implement attachment, it features a Type II rear hitch with lower-link draft sensing, ensuring accurate depth control for mounted equipment.
Mechanical and Dimensions
Built on a 104.8-inch (266 cm) wheelbase, the tractor has an operating weight of 12,130 lbs (5,502 kg). It utilizes a two-wheel drive configuration, power steering, and differential hydraulic dry disc brakes. The operator station is an open design, with optional two-post ROPS or cab configurations available.
Conclusion
The International Harvester Hydro 100 serves as a specialized row-crop tractor. Its hydrostatic drive system makes it particularly well-suited for tasks requiring variable ground speeds while maintaining constant PTO output, providing a versatile solution for mid-1970s agricultural requirements.
