White 185 vs White 6215
Verdict: White 185 vs White 6215
The White 185 and the White 6215 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. White 6215 leads on rated power with 215 hp against 188 hp. White 185 is the lighter machine (13,600 kg vs 17,300 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. White 6215 is the newer design (1994 vs 1986). In short: choose the White 6215 for outright pulling power, or the White 185 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
