Introduction

International Harvester 7388 Four-Wheel Drive Tractor

The International Harvester 7388 is a heavy-duty four-wheel drive tractor produced between 1982 and 1984. Manufactured by Steiger in Fargo, North Dakota, this model represents a specialized segment of high-horsepower agricultural machinery designed for demanding field operations.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by the International Harvester DTI466B, an intercooled turbocharged diesel engine. This 7.6-liter, 6-cylinder liquid-cooled power plant delivers 230 hp (171.5 kW) at a rated speed of 2400 RPM. The engine configuration provides the necessary torque for heavy draft work, supported by a 46-quart coolant capacity and 22-quart oil capacity.

Transmission and Drivetrain

The drivetrain features a four-wheel drive system to maximize tractive effort on varied terrain. The transmission provides 10 forward gears and 2 reverse gears, allowing for the selection of appropriate speeds for diverse agricultural tasks.

Hydraulics and Dimensions

The hydraulic system utilizes an open-center design with a pump flow capacity of 16 gpm (60.6 lpm). Physically, the tractor weighs 19,500 lbs (8845 kg) and sits on a 118-inch (299 cm) wheelbase. It measures 246 inches in length and 116 inches in width, with a ground clearance of 12.9 inches. The tractor is equipped with 23.1-30 agricultural tires on both the front and rear axles.

Operator Environment

The unit features a factory-standard cab equipped with air-conditioning, intended to provide a controlled environment for the operator during extended working hours in the field.

Conclusion

With only two units known to have been built, the International Harvester 7388 serves as a rare example of collaboration between Steiger and International Harvester. Its specifications place it firmly in the category of high-capacity tractors intended for large-scale agricultural production.
