ENGINE DETAIL
The International Harvester 1468's DV-550 V-8 engine, with a displacement of 9.0L, delivers robust torque suitable for heavy-duty applications, making it ideal for agricultural tasks requiring high power output. However, the relatively high RPM rating of 2600 can lead to increased wear and maintenance demands over time. Its electric starter enhances ease of use, but the complexity of an 8-cylinder configuration may result in higher operational costs in terms of fuel efficiency and servicing.
