White 4-270

Last Updated: June 2024

Overview

The White 4-270 is a large articulated 4-wheel drive tractor designed for heavy-duty farm and fieldwork. It is powered by a powerful Caterpillar 3306 DITA turbocharged intercooled diesel engine that delivers 270 horsepower, making it suitable for a wide range of demanding agricultural tasks. The cooling system relies on liquid-cooling to manage engine temperature, which is critical for the tractor's large 638 cubic inches displacement engine. The 4-270 features a partial power shift transmission with 16 forward and 4 reverse gears, enabling smooth control and adaptation to varying work conditions. The tractor's sturdy design is complemented by large 18.4-inch-wide tires, both front and rear, which can be either 38 or 42 inches in diameter, providing significant traction and stability. This model comes with a well-equipped cab that offers necessary protections for the operator, and it employs an articulated power steering system to manage its notable length of 273 inches and a weight of over 30,000 pounds. With an adequate hydraulic system and an electrical system charged by a 12-volt starter, the White 4-270 stands as a capable machine for extensive farming needs.
