Introduction
International Harvester 3288 Row-Crop Tractor
The International Harvester 3288 is a row-crop tractor produced between 1981 and 1985 in Rock Island, Illinois, USA. With a total production of 1,162 units, this model was designed as a versatile power unit for mid-sized agricultural operations, delivering a rated power of 100 horsepower.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 6-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with a displacement of 358 cubic inches (5.9 liters). It features a bore and stroke of 3.875 by 5.060 inches and a compression ratio of 14.8:1. The engine operates at a rated speed of 2400 RPM and includes a dual dry element air cleaner to ensure longevity in dusty field conditions.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 3288 utilizes a partial power shift transmission offering 16 forward and 8 reverse gears. The system features a 304.8mm cerametallic disc clutch. Gear selection is managed via two levers: the left selects the gear, while the right selects the range. The transmission allows for shifting between gear pairs (1-2, 3-4, etc.) on the move without using the clutch, thanks to an electric solenoid-actuated Torque Amplifier.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is of the open-center type, providing a total flow of 27 gallons per minute (102.2 liters per minute), with 15 GPM dedicated to implement operation and 12 GPM for steering. It supports two or three valves. The rear independent PTO offers 540 and 1000 RPM settings, both achieved at an engine speed of 2100 RPM, using a standard 1.375-inch shaft.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
Built with a wheelbase of 105 inches and a ground clearance of 13 inches, the tractor has an operating weight of 11,760 lbs. The cab comes standard with heating and air conditioning, with optional interior finishes available. It is equipped with hydraulic wet disc brakes and power steering to facilitate handling.
Conclusion
The International Harvester 3288 is a well-balanced row-crop tractor suitable for farmers requiring a combination of mechanical reliability and operator comfort. Its partial power shift transmission and independent PTO make it a capable machine for varied field tasks and implement management.
