Real Life Machine
International Harvester produced the 1568 in the 1970s as a distinctive member of its 66 Series lineup. Unlike most large row-crop tractors of the period, the 1568 used a V8 diesel engine, giving it a unique sound and mechanical character. The tractor was designed for demanding field jobs such as tillage and pulling heavy implements. Although the V8 concept did not become the long-term standard for agricultural tractors, the 1568 developed a dedicated following because of its unusual engineering and limited place in IH history.
