TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The White 2-60 tractor features either an 8-speed or a 12-speed transmission, offering versatility in speed selection for various agricultural tasks. The additional gears in the 12-speed version provide finer control over speed and improved efficiency in fieldwork and transport applications. However, the complexity of the 12-speed transmission may present a steeper learning curve for operators unfamiliar with multi-range gear systems.

Description 8-speed/12-speed

TRANSMISSION 1

The White 2-60 tractor features an 8-speed forward and 2-speed reverse gear configuration, providing versatility in various farming tasks and terrain conditions. This gear arrangement allows for a smoother transition between speeds, enhancing operational efficiency when maneuvering in different agricultural scenarios. However, operators may need to familiarize themselves with shifting patterns to maximize performance and minimize wear on the transmission system.

Gears 8 forward and 2 reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The White 2-60 tractor features a 12-speed forward and 2-speed reverse transmission, providing versatile control for a variety of agricultural tasks. This gear range allows for optimal torque management and efficiency in diverse soil conditions or crop types. However, the complexity of the gear system may require more operator training to maximize productivity and prevent potential operational challenges.

Gears 12 forward and 2 reverse

MECHANICAL

The White 2-60 tractor features a robust 4x2 or 4WD configuration, providing flexibility for various field conditions while the standard differential lock enhances traction in challenging terrains. Its power-assisted steering improves maneuverability, reducing operator fatigue, while the independent dry contracting band brakes ensure reliable stopping power. With 8 to 12-speed transmission options, the tractor offers a good balance between speed and torque for versatile applications, making it suitable for both light-duty and moderate agricultural tasks.

WHITE 2-60 TIRES

The White 2-60 tractor features a 7.50-16 tire size for the front and a robust 16.9-30 tire size for the rear, providing excellent traction and stability for agricultural applications. The larger rear tires can enhance weight distribution, reducing soil compaction while improving pulling capacity during heavy-duty tasks. However, the wide stance may limit maneuverability in confined spaces, which should be considered for crop row work.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The White 2-60 tractor, weighing 5,160 lbs (2,340 kg), is configured for stable field performance, especially in moderate soil conditions, owing to its substantial rear tire setup (16.9-30), which enhances traction and weight distribution. However, the front tire size (7.50-16) may limit load-bearing capacity and maneuverability in tight spaces. This tractor excels in row crop applications but could face challenges in heavier tillage operations due to its overall weight and tire specifications.
