First of all I really enjoy operating both these machines.Thought it would be fun to do a seat of the pants comparison.Going to use my 1983 White 2-88 and my 1975 Deere 4230 as examples.Both tractors are normally aspirated,Deere has a 404 vs 354 cubes for the White.Within 13 hp of each other at the pto,Deere 100 hp vs the White at 87 hp.They both start easy and run very good and do not use any oil.Both tractors have closed center hydraulics,White flows 20 gpm vs the Deere at 23 gpm.The White is around 3,000 lbs. heavier overall.The White has 400 lbs on front axle vs the Deere with 600 lbs.Tire size/condition the same.Both tractors have done the same jobs with the same equipment.Personal observation:The Deere handles better with lighter,easier steering.The White cab is roomier,quieter and easier to get in and out of and visibility is better..alot better.A/C better in the White as well but it has a bigger condenser so probably not a fair comparison.Yes both A/C systems are well maintained.Hydraulic performance about a tie but flow control adjustment more convenient on the Deere but draft control actually works on the White.The White uses far less fuel than the Deere doing the same jobs but also is about 50 cubes smaller.But I think the Dot 4 perkins in the White is just plain more efficient also feels every bit as strong as the Deere if not more so power wise.Well that's my personal observation your results may vary.

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK).
