Introduction

International Harvester 3288: The Powerhouse Row-Crop Tractor

Get ready to experience the sheer capability of the International Harvester 3288, a tractor built to conquer the demands of row-crop farming. Launched between 1981 and 1985, this machine represents a pinnacle of American agricultural engineering, offering a blend of raw power and intelligent design that makes it a standout performer.

Engine Powerhouse

Under the hood, the 3288 boasts a formidable 6-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with a substantial 358 cubic inch [5.9 L] displacement. This powerhouse operates with a 14.8:1 compression ratio and a dual dry element air cleaner, ensuring efficient and clean combustion even under the toughest conditions. With a rated engine speed of 2400 RPM, it delivers a robust 100 horsepower, ready to tackle any task you throw at it.

Transmission Excellence

The transmission is a marvel of engineering, featuring a partial power shift design with 16 forward and 8 reverse gears. This allows for seamless shifting without the clutch between gear pairs, dramatically improving operational efficiency. The 304.8mm cerametallic disc clutch ensures durability, while the Torque Amplifier, actuated by an electric solenoid, provides that extra boost when needed.

Hydraulic Versatility

Equipped with an open center hydraulic system, the 3288 offers a total flow of 27 gpm [102.2 lpm], with a dedicated 15 gpm [56.8 lpm] for the pump and 12 gpm [45.4 lpm] for steering. With 2 or 3 available valves, this tractor is ready to power a wide array of implements, making it a truly versatile partner on your farm.

Operator Comfort and Control

Designed with the operator in mind, the 3288 comes standard with a comfortable cab featuring both heating and air-conditioning. Hydraulic wet disc brakes provide reliable stopping power, while power steering ensures effortless maneuverability. The independent rear PTO, available in 540/1000 RPM configurations, allows for efficient operation of various implements.

Built to Last

With a substantial operating weight of 11760 lbs [5334 kg] and a wheelbase of 105 inches [266 cm], the 3288 offers a stable and planted feel. Its robust construction, manufactured by International Harvester in Rock Island, Illinois, USA, guarantees longevity and reliability, making it a wise investment for any agricultural operation.
