ENGINE DETAIL
The White 4-225 tractor features a robust Caterpillar 3208T turbocharged diesel engine, providing 225hp at 2600 RPM, which is advantageous for high-torque applications in agricultural settings. With a substantial oil capacity of 20 quarts and coolant capacity of 44 quarts, it supports extended operational intervals, though the engine's 16.5:1 compression ratio necessitates premium diesel fuel for optimal performance. Potential challenges include the reliance on ether pre-heating in cold conditions, which may require additional maintenance considerations.

TRANSMISSION
The White 4-225 tractor's partial powershift transmission with 18 forward and 6 reverse gears offers versatile speed selection, enhancing efficiency in various applications, from tillage to hauling. However, the complexity of the direct, over, and under-drive powershifts may present a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with such systems. Optimal oil capacity of 92 quarts (87.1L) ensures adequate lubrication, but regular maintenance is crucial to prevent issues related to hydraulic performance and gear shifting.
