International Harvester Hydro 70
The International Harvester Hydro 70 is a powerful tractor built for serious farm work. It has a 6-cylinder gasoline engine that can handle tough jobs. The engine is 290.8 cubic inches big and runs at 2400 rpm. This tractor is strong, weighing 7875 pounds, which helps it pull heavy loads.
