ENGINE DETAIL
The White 4-180 tractor features a robust Caterpillar 8-cylinder diesel engine with a substantial displacement of 10.4L, allowing for high torque output, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications like plowing and hauling. The high compression ratio of 16.5:1 enhances fuel efficiency but may require higher-quality diesel fuel to prevent knocking, particularly under load. However, the tractor's air cleaner is dry, which may necessitate more frequent maintenance, especially in dusty working conditions.
