ENGINE DETAIL
The White 4-150 tractor is powered by a Caterpillar 3208 diesel engine, featuring an 8-cylinder configuration with a sizable 636 cubic inch (10.4L) displacement, which provides robust torque and power for demanding agricultural tasks. With a compression ratio of 16.5:1 and a rated RPM of 2800, it achieves optimal efficiency and performance under load, though this could lead to increased operational costs due to fuel consumption at higher RPMs. Its 12-volt starter system supports reliable starting in various conditions, but potential maintenance challenges may arise due to the age and availability of specific parts for the engine.
