Introduction
White 2-155 Row-Crop Tractor
The White 2-155 is a row-crop tractor produced between 1976 and 1987. Engineered for demanding agricultural operations, this model integrates a high-capacity powertrain with a focus on field versatility and operator comfort.
Engine and Powertrain
The tractor is powered by a White-Hercules 7.8-liter, 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. It operates at a rated speed of 2200 RPM and produces 172 horsepower. The cooling system has a capacity of 27.9 liters, and air intake is managed via dual paper elements to ensure engine longevity in dusty environments.

The 2-155 features a closed-center hydraulic system with a total flow capacity of 79.5 liters per minute at 155.1 bar. It supports 2 or 3 valves for implement control. The rear hitch is a Category III/II system capable of lifting 2,903 kg at 610 mm behind the lift point, paired with an independent 1000 RPM rear PTO.
Operator Environment and Dimensions
The standard configuration includes a climate-controlled cab with air conditioning. The machine measures 426 cm in length and 243 cm in width. Depending on the drive configuration, the wheelbase and ground clearance vary to accommodate different row-crop applications, with the 4WD model offering a 90-inch wheelbase and 40 cm of clearance under the front axle.
