WHITE 60 ENGINE

The White 60 tractor is equipped with a Cummins 3.9L 4-cylinder diesel engine, offering robustness and fuel efficiency for agricultural tasks. Its compact size provides maneuverability in tight fields, yet its power output supports diverse implements. However, potential challenges may include limited aftermarket support and parts availability due to its age, so careful consideration of maintenance resources is advised.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The White 60 tractor's 6-speed sliding gear and 18-speed partial power shift transmission offer smooth shifting capabilities and enhanced operational versatility. This feature allows for precise speed adjustments in various field conditions, improving productivity and efficiency. However, operators should be familiar with the partial power shift system to maximize its benefits and avoid potential operational challenges during shifts.

TRANSMISSION 1

The White 60 tractor features a sliding gear transmission with 6 forward and 2 reverse gears, providing versatility for various field operations. The dry disc clutch ensures smooth engagement; however, it may require more frequent adjustments compared to liquid-cooled clutches. With an oil capacity of 52 quarts (49.2 liters), it offers adequate lubrication for robust engine performance, but regular maintenance is essential to avoid overheating issues during prolonged use.

TRANSMISSION 2

The White 60 tractor features a partial power shift transmission, offering 18 forward and 6 reverse gears, which enhances versatility in various field conditions. With an oil capacity of 52 quarts (49.2 liters), proper maintenance is essential for optimal transmission performance and longevity. The three-speed power shift allows for smoother gear transitions, making it beneficial for tasks requiring frequent speed adjustments, such as tilling or plowing.

Description The optional power shift transmission add a three-speed power shift to the basic six-speed transmission.

MECHANICAL

The White 60 tractor has a robust 4x2 or optional 4WD configuration, enhancing traction across various terrains, making it suitable for both fieldwork and road transport. The power steering provides improved maneuverability, while the dry disc brakes contribute to reliable stopping power, though maintenance on brake components may be more frequent. Its transmission options—either a 6-speed sliding gear or an 18-speed partial power shift—offer flexibility in speed selection, making it adaptable for diverse agricultural tasks but may require additional operator training for optimal use.

WHITE 60 TIRES

The White 60 tractor features versatile tire configurations for both 2WD and 4WD setups, allowing adaptability for various agricultural applications. The 2WD model's standard tire size offers better stability and traction for lighter tasks, while the optional 4WD tire sizes provide enhanced grip and flotation for heavier soil conditions and diverse terrains. A key consideration is that larger rear tires may affect turning radius and maneuverability in tight spaces, so choose accordingly based on operational needs.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The White 60 tractor, with a wheelbase of 95.5 inches, offers stability and maneuverability for various agricultural tasks, though its weight of 8,340 lbs may limit mobility on uneven terrain. Its 2WD configuration and rear tires (16.9-30) provide adequate traction for field operations but may struggle in muddy conditions compared to 4WD alternatives. Ideal for lighter farming tasks, its specifications make it efficient in flatter regions but less effective in hilly or challenging landscapes.
