Introduction

White 4-225 Four-Wheel Drive Tractor

The White 4-225 is a heavy-duty four-wheel drive tractor produced between 1983 and 1987. Designed for large-scale agricultural operations, this model integrates robust mechanical components with a high-capacity hydraulic system to handle demanding field tasks.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a Caterpillar 3208T, an 8-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a displacement of 10.4 liters. It operates at a rated speed of 2600 RPM and produces 225 horsepower (167.8 kW). The engine features a liquid-cooling system and a dual dry element air cleaner with a precleaner to maintain performance in dusty environments.

Transmission and Drivetrain

Equipped with a partial powershift transmission, the 4-225 offers 18 forward and 6 reverse gears. The system provides direct, over, and under-drive powershifts in each of the six main gears, allowing for precise speed adjustments under load. Power is delivered through a four-wheel drive configuration, ensuring traction in varied field conditions.

Hydraulics and Hitch

The machine utilizes a closed-center hydraulic system capable of delivering a total flow of 25 gpm (94.6 lpm) at a pressure of 2250 psi (155.1 bar). It includes two hydraulic valves for implement control and is equipped with a Category III rear three-point hitch. The independent rear PTO operates at a standard 1000 RPM.

Operator Environment and Dimensions

The tractor features a standard cab equipped with air-conditioning to provide operator comfort during extended work periods. Mechanically, it utilizes hydrostatic power steering and hydraulic wet disc brakes. With an operating weight of 10,750 kg and a wheelbase of 299 cm, the 4-225 provides the necessary mass and stability for heavy-duty pulling and implement management.

Conclusion

With its significant displacement, 4WD capability, and substantial operating weight, the White 4-225 is engineered for high-output farming, particularly suited for primary tillage and heavy transport tasks.
