The White 2-55 is a utility tractor produced by Iseki in Japan between 1982 and 1987. Part of the 2-65 series, this model was engineered to provide a versatile platform for general agricultural operations.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 3.3-liter (199.4 ci) 4-cylinder Isuzu diesel engine. This liquid-cooled unit features a 4.016 x 3.937 inch bore and stroke, delivering a rated power output of 59 hp at 2200 RPM. The engine intake system is protected by a dry-type air cleaner equipped with a pre-cleaner to maintain performance in dusty environments.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Equipped with a synchromesh transmission, the 2-55 offers 16 forward and 4 reverse gears. It incorporates a high-low creeper along with high-low auxiliary ranges, allowing the operator to select precise speeds for specific tasks. The standard configuration is 4x2 2WD, with an optional 4x4 MFWD (Mechanical Front Wheel Drive) system available for improved traction.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system utilizes an open-center design with a total flow capacity of 11.9 gpm (45.0 lpm) at a pressure of 2415 psi (166.5 bar). It supports 1 to 3 valves for implement control. The rear hitch is a Category II/I type, providing a lift capacity of 3,641 lbs (1651 kg), which accommodates a broad range of mounted implements.
Mechanical and Operator Environment
Control is managed via power steering and foot-activated differential locks. Braking is provided by wet disc brakes, which are standard on this model. The operator station is equipped with a two-post ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) for safety, with an optional canopy available for sun and rain protection.
