White 185 vs White 2-180
Verdict: White 185 vs White 2-180
The White 185 and the White 2-180 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. White 185 leads on rated power with 188 hp against 182 hp. White 185 is the lighter machine (13,600 kg vs 16,000 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. White 185 is the newer design (1986 vs 1977). In short: choose the White 185 for outright pulling power, or the White 2-180 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
