WHITE 2-150 ENGINE

The White 2-150 is powered by a robust 9.6L 6-cylinder diesel engine, providing substantial torque and horsepower for demanding agricultural tasks. This significant engine capacity enhances fuel efficiency during heavy-duty operations but may pose challenges in terms of maintenance costs and component replacements. Ideal for large-scale farming scenarios, this tractor's powertrain allows it to handle various implements, yet operators should be aware of its weight and size when maneuvering in tighter spaces.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The White 2-150 features a 6-speed unsynchronized transmission combined with an 18-speed partial powershift, allowing for significant flexibility in speed selection under varying load conditions. This configuration enhances torque management and efficiency, particularly for tasks requiring precise control, like tillage and planting. However, the unsynchronized transmission may present a learning curve for operators accustomed to fully synchronized systems, potentially leading to increased wear if not handled properly.

TRANSMISSION 1

The White 2-150 tractor features an unsynchronized transmission with 6 forward and 2 reverse gears, allowing for versatile speed management and effective maneuverability in various agricultural tasks. However, the unsynchronized design may require more operator skill during gear changes, potentially impacting efficiency in demanding conditions. This setup is best suited for applications where operator familiarity can mitigate these challenges, such as on smaller farms or in operations with consistent fieldwork.

Type unsynchronized
Gears 6 forward and 2 reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The White 2-150 tractor features a partial powershift Hydraul-Shift transmission with 18 forward and 6 reverse gears, offering enhanced operational flexibility. The over and under powershift for each gear allows for efficient torque management during varying field conditions, improving productivity. However, the complexity of the transmission system may require more frequent maintenance and skilled operation compared to simpler transmission designs, and it suits large-scale farming operations where gear versatility is crucial.

Type partial powershift
Gears 18 forward and 6 reverse
Description Six forward and two reverse gears with an over and under powershift for each gear

MECHANICAL

The White 2-150 tractor features a 4x2 two-wheel drive (2WD) chassis, which enhances maneuverability but may limit traction in challenging Field conditions compared to 4WD models. Its hydrostatic power steering ensures effortless handling, while the independent hydraulic disc brakes provide reliable stopping power, crucial for safety during heavy-duty operations. The 6-speed unsynchronized and 18-speed partial powershift transmissions offer versatility in speed selection, making this tractor suitable for both transport and various agricultural tasks, though the unsynchronized transmission may require more operator skill during shifts.
