Introduction
White 4-150 Four-Wheel Drive Tractor
The White 4-150 is an articulated four-wheel drive agricultural tractor produced between 1974 and 1978. Designed for heavy-duty field operations, it represents the high-horsepower segment of the White tractor lineup from that era.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled Caterpillar 3208 diesel engine. This 8-cylinder unit features a 636 cubic inch (10.4 L) displacement and operates at a rated speed of 2800 RPM. With a compression ratio of 16.5:1, the engine delivers a rated power output of 168 horsepower, providing the necessary torque for demanding traction tasks.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 4-150 utilizes a partial powershift 'Hydraul-Shift' transmission, which provides 18 forward and 6 reverse gears. The system features a dry disc clutch and allows for on-the-go shifting between direct, over-drive, and under-drive ranges within each gear, enhancing operational efficiency in the field.
Hydraulics and Hitch
Equipped with a closed-center hydraulic system, the tractor provides a pump flow of 20 gallons per minute (75.7 lpm) at a pressure of 2200 psi. The rear hitch is a Category III/II three-point configuration, capable of lifting up to 6000 lbs (2721 kg), allowing for the operation of heavy implements.
Mechanical and Dimensions
The machine features articulated power steering to assist in maneuvering its 16960 lbs (7693 kg) operating weight. It is equipped with dry disc brakes and a standard cab including air-conditioning and a radio. The wheelbase measures 115.625 inches (293 cm), with adjustable front and rear tread widths ranging from 60 to 90 inches to accommodate various row spacings.
Conclusion
The White 4-150 is a robust, high-capacity tractor engineered for large-scale farming applications. Its combination of a high-displacement Caterpillar engine, articulated steering, and a versatile partial powershift transmission makes it well-suited for heavy tillage and primary cultivation work.
