White 2-88 vs White 80
Verdict: White 2-88 vs White 80
The White 2-88 and the White 80 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. White 2-88 leads on rated power with 87 hp against 81 hp. White 80 is the lighter machine (4,159 kg vs 11,685 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. White 80 is the newer design (1989 vs 1982). In short: choose the White 2-88 for outright pulling power, or the White 80 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
