ENGINE DETAIL
The International Harvester 4568 features a robust DVT-800 turbo diesel V8 engine with a significant 798ci displacement, providing 300hp and 825lb-ft of torque at 1800 RPM, ideal for heavy-duty applications like large-scale farming or construction. Its bore and stroke dimensions (5.31x4.50 inches) facilitate both high power output and efficient fuel consumption, although the engine's weight may impact the tractor's overall maneuverability. Operators should consider the torque characteristics at lower RPMs, beneficial for towing and plowing operations while helping mitigate fuel consumption during tasks requiring sustained power.
