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.

TRANSMISSION

The White 4-180 tractor features a 12 forward and 4 reverse gear configuration, providing versatile speed and torque management for various agricultural tasks. This wide gear range allows for efficient operation in both transport and field work scenarios, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications. However, operators may need to adjust to the distinctive gear shifting mechanics, which could pose a learning curve for those unfamiliar with multi-range transmissions.

Gears 12 forward and 4 reverse

MECHANICAL

The White 4-180 tractor features a 4x4 articulated 4WD chassis, providing excellent traction and stability in varied terrains. Its hydrostatic power steering enhances maneuverability, which is beneficial for tight operating conditions, while the dry disc brakes offer reliable stopping power, although they may require more frequent maintenance than wet systems. The standard cab with heating and air-conditioning ensures operator comfort during extended use, making it suitable for long hours in the field.
