White 2-155 vs White Workhorse 170

Verdict: White 2-155 vs White Workhorse 170

The White 2-155 and the White Workhorse 170 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. White Workhorse 170 leads on rated power with 162 hp against 158 hp. White Workhorse 170 is the lighter machine (7,842 kg vs 14,300 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. White Workhorse 170 is the newer design (1990 vs 1976). In short: choose the White Workhorse 170 for outright pulling power, or the White 2-155 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
