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, USA. Designed for agricultural operations, this machine is part of a series that includes the 966 and 1066 models, characterized by its integration of hydrostatic transmission technology.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by an International Harvester 6-cylinder, liquid-cooled diesel engine with a displacement of 436 cubic inches (7.1 L). It operates at a rated speed of 2400 RPM and features a compression ratio of 15.8:1. The engine induction system utilizes a dual-stage dry air cleaner to maintain performance in dusty field conditions.
Transmission and Drivetrain
A defining feature of the Hydro 100 is its hydrostatic transmission, which provides infinite forward and reverse speeds across two ranges. This configuration allows for precise ground speed control without the need for traditional gear shifting. The tractor utilizes a two-wheel-drive system assisted by power steering and differential hydraulic dry disc brakes for operational control.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is an open-center type delivering a pump flow of 12 gpm (45.4 lpm). The independent rear PTO supports both 540 and 1000 RPM speeds, utilizing a 1.375-inch shaft. Implement attachment is managed through a Category II rear hitch equipped with lower-link draft sensing to ensure consistent depth and load management during field work.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
The tractor has a wheelbase of 104.8 inches (266 cm) and an operating weight of 12,130 lbs (5502 kg). It is fitted with 10.00-16 front and 18.4-34 rear agricultural tires. The operator station is an open-platform design, which could be configured with a two-post Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) or an optional cab.
Conclusion
The International Harvester Hydro 100 is a specialized row-crop tractor that offers significant flexibility through its hydrostatic drive system. It is well-suited for agricultural tasks requiring constant speed adjustments and precise implement control, serving as a robust solution for medium-to-heavy duty field applications of its era.
