International Harvester 7288: water-cooled six-cylinder diesel engine with 7,636 cc displacement, 210 hp (154.5 kW) and a top speed of 30 km/h as a large standard tractor
The 7288 stood at the upper end of the model programme that International Harvester offered in the high-power segment during the 1980s, with performance far exceeding that of a classic standard tractor. Such highly powered standard tractors complemented the smaller and medium series in manufacturers' line-ups, aimed at farms with particularly high power demands.

The water-cooled six-cylinder diesel engine of 7,636 cc produces 210 hp (154.5 kW) at 2,400 rpm. At an unladen weight of 8,958 kilograms, a wheelbase of 2,934 millimetres and a width of 2,845 millimetres, the 7288 is among the largest of the series considered here.
With a design top speed of 30 km/h, the machine falls under driving licence category T despite its size. A six-cylinder engine of over 7.6 litres at this output was designed for high pulling power with heavy trailed tillage implements and large mounted equipment, not for high engine speed. Tractors of this class typically use a standardised power take-off running at 540 or 1,000 rpm.
When buying such a large tractor, checks should include the condition of the injection pump and turbocharger, where fitted, as well as hydraulic tightness and the condition of the axle drives. On a vehicle of this weight, the frame and load-bearing sheet-metal parts should also be examined for cracking.
