Introduction

White 2270: Heavy-Duty Agricultural Tractor

The White 2270 is a high-horsepower agricultural tractor produced between 1972 and 1974. Manufactured in Charles City, Iowa, this machine was designed to provide significant tractive power for large-scale field operations, utilizing a Minneapolis-Moline sourced powertrain.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled, 6-cylinder Minneapolis-Moline engine with a displacement of 504 cubic inches (8.3 liters). It operates at a rated speed of 2200 RPM and is configured for LP-gas fuel. The engine delivers 163 horsepower, providing the necessary torque for heavy draft work.

Transmission and Drivetrain

Operators have access to two transmission configurations: a standard gear-driven system providing 6 forward and 2 reverse speeds, or the Hydral-Shift power shift transmission, which offers 18 forward and 6 reverse speeds across three ranges. Power is delivered to the ground via a two-wheel drive system featuring planetary final drives for increased durability.

Hydraulics and PTO

The 2270 utilizes a closed-center hydraulic system capable of a 20 gpm (75.7 lpm) pump flow, ensuring responsive control for external implements. The rear independent power take-off (PTO) supports both 540 and 1000 RPM speeds, allowing for broad compatibility with various agricultural equipment.

Dimensions and Capacity

Built on a 111-inch wheelbase, the tractor features a substantial operating weight of 17,100 lbs (7,756 kg), which can be ballasted up to 18,070 lbs (8,196 kg) to improve traction. The rear three-point hitch is compatible with Category III/II attachments and offers a lift capacity of 6,000 lbs (2,721 kg).

Conclusion

The White 2270 is a robust, high-capacity tractor tailored for demanding farming environments. Its combination of a powerful 6-cylinder engine, versatile transmission options, and significant hydraulic flow makes it a capable machine for heavy-duty plowing and cultivation tasks.
