TRANSMISSION
The International Harvester 7288 features an advanced Tri-Six transmission with 18 forward and 6 reverse gears, offering versatile speed and torque options suitable for various agricultural tasks. The hydraulic wet disc clutch enhances durability and provides smooth power transitions, although the need to engage the clutch for shifting between gear pairs may limit rapid gear changes. This setup is ideal for operations requiring precise speed control, such as tilling or planting, but operators should be mindful of potential delays during gear shifts.
