International Harvester Super 70's 7288-7488 , part 2 of 2

When you could buy something make it pay for itself AND make a profit with it. now it's just pay for it.

[@generationll]

The 7288 had silmilar sized 2 wheel drives back then but the 7488's competition all came from 4WD tractors.There wouldn't be a 200hp 2wheel drive row crop until 1989.This 7488is a really impressive site to see.

You had to use the neighbors field to turn around with them anteaters.

[@geraldhigh7218]

They turn sharper than a 2 wheel drive.

[@Sjanzo]

This concept will be brought back to life within 5 years: There is just no way you can transfer the power of the biggest 936, 8000 series and Magnums without bigger wheels, which will decrease the turning radius too much on a conventional steerign axle. Still a great conept.

Somebody please upload the Red Edge song with vocals.

[@farmallboy8989]

didnt 2+2 wear out center pins alot

[@nellsonstout7001]

They did. This one may have been improved as far as that but I doubt there was enough made and used to know for sure

[@netrioter]

@netrioter and thats why Steiger was at 425 hp by this time compared to "235 hp" LOL.

[@J-1410]

You do realize that IH owned part of Steiger and Steiger was building IH High Horsepower tractors?

[@francomtz7115]

Nothing like a deere

[@vern146]

st 525 was the biggest steiger they made, steiger made the frames for all articulated IH 4wd tractors from 1972, 4366.

[@netrioter]

Steiger spanked all of these tractors.....thats why IH Case still makes all 4wd tractors as "Steigers".

[@J-1410]

IH's Goal with the 2+2 was not to compete with Steiger, which it, at the time, owned 1/3 of. The 2+2 was to be the most efficient conventional tractor with very little wheel slip. CIH even made a prototype magnum 2+2

[@MrLuckytrucker21]

ihc should have never invested in the 2+2 line of tractors, it was a waste of money to develop and make, when there money needed to go to more important parts of the company, but that's one of the reasons ihc went belly up.

[@MillerFamilyFarms]

It was the people in charge of IH that put the company belly up. Bad management but a great company that made great products
