International Harvester Super 70's Promo Film 7288-7488, 2+2 part 1 of 2

[theffa1928]

I'm sure they didn't know... that 30 years later almost everybody who was a row crop operator would use 4wd tractors. lol

[freddythestandard]

this is when people still took pride in what they made

[MrGueldnerfahrer]

snoopy

[nascarracer01]

[ih560]

Tony, come out of the shadows and get over to the bash board. My keyboard is tougher than yours.

[allthingsagriculture]

yup looks that way, I see 2+2 told him to come and duke it out on the bash. he's too pussy to do it.

[plumcrazyhemicuda]

Hmmm.....looks like someone hurt the farming superhero's feelings....

[SalterFarms]

where are little pussy 6588? come out and play bring rambo jr with you

[bradconley1990]

I am a Deere man 199%, but I would love to have a 5488

why tell mom, grandpa used o buy tractors, and not tell grandma

[lildjohnson95]

they look ugly but run beautiful

[vibboy32]

wow thank you for that. we have 7488 in the uk. its as new now

[OzzInter]

Rare footage!

Never sold here in Australia.

Excellent design but the Super 70 range was "killed" by the CASE and IH merger.

[TheBjack1]

Not many of these ever made it to Mississippi! My dad bought 2 3588s in 1979. Our "voids between the steering wheel and the seat" destroyed them. I think a 5488, was the last "new" IH he ever bought, before changing over to John Deere.

[BrodyFarmBoy]

Man I like John Deere but the 1970-1999 machinery just facinates me

[Musicman55ism]

@BrodyFarmBoy Same here there jus somethin about the old shapes and sounds

[BudweiserDiary]

Also by the way SUPER SNOOPY!!!!!!!

[BudweiserDiary]

If you really want to blame some one for killing IH and the farming community and the country try researching the federal reserve. Trust me they are all connected.

[buellm21200]

The reason the sales never came was because they didn't build the tractors. They built a total of 19 7288's and 16 7488's. All 35 are still in existence today. Tenneco bought IH's Ag Group and Case was not interested in articulating tractors. Super 70 STS tractors on the assembly line at the time were dismantled, torched and sold as scrap.

[renegadesim]

This tractor brought IH nearly to the bankcrupt in the late 80's. It was the upgraded version of the 2+2 3388 and 3588. They put a lot of money in the development of these models but the sales never came. Case purchased IH shorthly after the lauch of this model and they drop it.

[ChevRcr454]

so the tractor in the video is a 7288? but it looks identicle to my dads tractor which is a 3588?

did IH make 2 different series of these things or what cause i'm a tad confused.

[toycollector2]

they made

3388,3588, 6388 and the super seventy's

[cumminspower10]

this is cool!!!!!!! 5/5

[kawasaki12789]

i have worked on farms with theese tractors. lots of power but very clumsy to operate. overall they suck

[cumminspower10]

yeah i bet they are

[farmalltom]

@kawasaki12789 With a comment like that, It's difficult for me to believe that you have REALLY used one. I've run a couple of them and, after getting used to the configuration, I thought they were exceptionally handy and maneuverable for their size. Heck, I've even actually driven a 7488 and count it as a lifetime experience!

[lingenfeltera]

@farmalltom How was the transmission and shifting set up for that 70 series? We had a 3388 and it was great to run, but I never liked shifting it and we always had problems with the TA. The rumor was that the 70 series fixed a lot of the transmission problems but due to being bought out by Case the 70 series barely saw the light of day. Personally, if IH could have worked the kinks out earlier, we would be driving these types of tractors instead of MFWD. The design is remarkably simple.

[flybikes90]

what is this, the international harvester family?

[generationll]

Have never seen one of these tractors but would like to.

[ih966man]

they are sweat tractors,ih only made 19 7288 and i think 16 7488,i read that in my international book

[farmhandstudios]

we still use one of these. its our highest horse powered tractor and we use it for seedin' every year. i'm not exactly sure if it is a 7288 but i know it is smaller than the one in the video

[pieman11321]

its a really nice tractor we use 2 :D

[wahooih]

Sweet video, and my pickup is following it! Lol

[kakulzer]

Thanks for sharing, I remember seeing this tractor for the first time at the state fair. I just loved it! Great concept

[HemiHotRod]

Awesome,

I love seeing these again.

Thanks for sharing.

[IHMan1066]
