ENGINE DETAIL

The White 140 tractor features a robust CDC-Cummins 5.9L turbocharged diesel engine, known for its reliability and fuel efficiency, with a high compression ratio of 16.5:1 supporting direct injection for better combustion. With a torque rating peak experienced around 2200 RPM, it is particularly advantageous for heavy-load applications such as plowing and tilling, offering a good power-to-weight ratio. However, the engine's size and complexity may lead to higher maintenance costs and service challenges compared to simpler configurations.

WHITE 140 ENGINE

The White 140 tractor is powered by a CDC-Cummins 5.9L 6-cylinder diesel engine, which delivers robust torque and reliability for demanding agricultural tasks. Its compact size allows for maneuverability in tight fields, making it ideal for specialty farming operations. However, the engine's weight may pose a challenge in very soft soil conditions, potentially leading to rutting.

TRANSMISSION

The White 140 tractor features a 3x6 partial powershift transmission, providing flexibility with 18 forward and 6 reverse gears, which enhances operational efficiency across various terrains. The 355.6mm dry disc clutch delivers reliable power transfer but may present challenges in heavy-duty applications due to potential wear. This configuration is advantageous for tasks requiring precise speed control, such as tillage and planting, enabling operators to optimize RPMs based on load conditions.

MECHANICAL

The White 140 tractor features a robust 4x4 MFWD option, providing enhanced traction in diverse field conditions, beneficial for tillage and heavy-duty applications. Its 18-speed partial powershift transmission allows for smooth gear changes, optimizing power delivery and efficiency during operation. Challenges may include higher maintenance costs associated with the hydraulic differential lock and independent brakes, but the air-conditioned cab enhances operator comfort for long working hours.

WHITE 140 TIRES

The White 140 tractor features a robust tire configuration with an 11.00-16 agricultural front tire and an 18.4R-38 agricultural rear tire, providing significant traction for field operations. This combination enhances stability and weight distribution, making it suitable for heavy tillage and planting tasks. However, operators should be aware of potential challenges in tight maneuvering due to the larger rear tires, which may affect turning radius in constrained spaces.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The White 140 tractor offers a robust wheelbase that varies depending on the drivetrain configuration, with a 2WD setup providing increased stability for heavy-duty tasks at 111.5 inches, while the more compact 4WD wheelbase of 99 inches enhances maneuverability in tight spaces. Weighing between 12,500 and 14,665 pounds, the tractor's substantial mass can contribute to better traction and stability; however, it may also limit transportability and require more horsepower for towing applications. The tire specifications indicate a capacity for diverse terrain handling, but users should consider the trade-off between floatation in soft ground versus compaction in wet and loamy soils for optimal performance.
