Introduction
White GT-205 Garden Tractor
The White GT-205 is a garden tractor produced between 1994 and 1999 as part of the GT-185 and GT-225 series. Manufactured by White, a division of MTD, in Willard, Ohio, USA, this machine was designed primarily for residential landscaping and property maintenance applications.
Engine and Powertrain
The tractor is powered by a 2-cylinder, air-cooled, vertical-shaft V-Twin gasoline engine. It produces a gross power output of 20 hp (14.9 kW). The engine is started via a 12-volt electric starter. Power is delivered to the ground through a Hydro-Gear belt-driven hydrostatic transmission, which allows for infinite forward and reverse speed control in a two-wheel drive configuration.
PTO and Hydraulics
The GT-205 features an independent mid-mounted PTO (Power Take-Off) system. This system utilizes a pulley-type drive engaged by an electric clutch, providing the operator with convenient control over mower decks or other mid-mounted attachments. The tractor is also compatible with a 50-inch mower deck.
Mechanical and Chassis
Built on a 46-inch wheelbase, the tractor features manual steering and disc brakes for operational control. The unit is designed with an open operator station. It is equipped with 16x6.5 front tires and 22x9.5 rear tires, both specified for lawn and turf use to minimize ground disturbance. The total shipping weight of the machine is 790 lbs (358 kg).
Attachments and Electrical
The electrical system operates on a 12-volt battery with a negative ground. For added versatility in property maintenance, an optional sleeve hitch is available, allowing for the attachment of various ground-engaging implements.
Conclusion
The White GT-205 serves as a reliable utility machine for property owners. Its hydrostatic transmission and 20 hp engine make it suitable for mowing, light towing, and general yard maintenance tasks within a residential or small-acreage environment.
