TRANSMISSION
The International Harvester 3288 features a partial power shift transmission, allowing for seamless gear changes between specified pairs without the use of a clutch, which enhances operational efficiency during in-field tasks. The cerametallic disc clutch is durable, but may present challenges in terms of maintenance and replacement costs. With a robust oil capacity of 90 quarts, this tractor is well equipped to handle extensive operations, but operators should ensure regular oil maintenance to prevent premature wear in the transmission system.
| Type | partial power shift |
| Gears | 16 forward and 8 reverse |
| Clutch | cerametallic disc |
| Oil capacity | 90qts / 85.2L |
| Description | Left lever selects gear, right lever selects high, low, or reverse range. Tractor may be shifted on the move without the clutch between gear pairs (1-2, 3-4, etc). Synchronized shifting, using the clutch, between gear pairs (2 to 3, 4 to 5, etc). The transmission is four-gear with the powershift provided by an electric solenoid actuated Torque Amplifier |
