TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The White 2270 tractor features an 18-speed three-range power-shift transmission, offering enhanced control and adaptability for varying field conditions. This transmission setup allows operators to efficiently manage engine RPM and torque, optimizing fuel efficiency and performance for tasks requiring different speed ranges. However, the complexity of such a system may present a learning curve for inexperienced operators, necessitating proper training to exploit its full potential.
| Description | 6-speed 18-speed three-range power shift |
TRANSMISSION 1
The White 2270 tractor features a 6-speed forward and 2-speed reverse transmission, providing a balanced range of operational flexibility for various field tasks. This gearing arrangement allows for efficient speed management and maneuverability, which is advantageous in both tillage and transport applications. However, depending on terrain and load, operators may need to carefully select gear ratios to optimize power delivery and fuel efficiency.
| Gears | 6 forward and 2 reverse |
TRANSMISSION 2
The White 2270 tractor features a three-range power shift transmission, enabling efficient gear changes across 18 forward and 6 reverse speeds, which enhances operational flexibility in various field conditions. The dry disc clutch provides durability and reduces maintenance needs, but may require careful modulation to prevent wear during frequent shifts. Optimal for applications requiring quick direction changes, such as tilling or loading, this configuration supports both productivity and operator comfort.
