| Looked at a 6175 MFD yesterday and must say I was impressed. Have had some experince with older Whites and have 2 machines with the Cummins engines so I know what they are about. Was wondering about the 6175-95 tractors in general how people got along with them. Hows the hydraulic capacity? Dealer said the tranny is very similiar to the Ford New Holland genisis tractor. Thought it shifted very well. Give me the good the bad and the ugly. TIA |

EC North Dakota | I have had a 6195 for 2 years now, about 4K hrs on the tractor. I am very well satisfied with it. I did not purchase it as main tractor, planter, landroller mainly, grain cart, and scraper are its' major responsibilities.
Handles a 750 bu grain cart very well, I have run it in some muddy conditions with the cart and it handled that very well. I enjoy operating the tractor, visibility is good, cab is very comfortable, controls functional and easy to use. I have run y 5100 White planter's air system with it and had no problems, even with the fan running the other remotes had plenty of flow to raise and lower either the planter or markers at an acceptable rate.
The power shift has been very much appreciated for the jobs I use it for. Like any power shift transmission, this one has a bigger just when going from 9 to 10 or down from 10 to 9 as that is where it has to change clutch packs. Not a problem with me.
Everything I read before purchasing the 6195 seems to indicate that they are a very reliable tractor and my experience so far holds true to what research I did.

Wisconsin | The Whites were all Cummin's powered. The orange Agco-Allis they came with the Deutz or Detroit even a Cummin's but I never have seen one yet. I haven't cared too much for the powershift's in the Whites the park brake has been a issue in everyone I have looked into or discussed at one point or other. I like the 32 speed tranny in the 24-44 series Whites better but that park system is also a joke until the Massey park was retrofitted in our 6144. I ran a 6195 a few times but believe that was an early model. The first few out didn't have detent's in the frame for front tires to turn sharp enough IMO. Also the powershift required more HP. to perform respectfully in tillage situation's. |

| Full powershift 6175 and 6195 have park locks, not park brakes the 6124, 6144 had (White rear vs MF rear ends) The only issue with them is occasionally keeping trash from the actuator area. |

Eldridge, Iowa | I like our 6175 and 6215 White tractors. The parking brake by your left foot can be a very expensive fix if it goes out internally in the rear end. Cost me over $3000 to fix mine. Make sure you never engage the parking brake while moving. There sensors to prevent damage if that occurs, but they BOTH must be working. Other than that, it has been a trouble free tractor, not including the yearly mouse nests in the air intake. Be sure to check that occasionally. The 6215 had trouble with the multi-pin wiring harness at the firewall as the mini connectors were getting corroded and would give me false error codes up the wazoo! The electronic transmission can be frustrating as you will be stopped in your tracks if you get any error codes. The hydraulic capacity in not up to todays tractors standards as they are nearly 15 year old models now, so don't expect it to be. The tapered frame up front definitely helps with turning. If it doesn't have that, you will have to get it cheaper. Good luck. Very good tractors for the money. |

| What year has the tapered frame? The one I looked at was a 93 model. Thought it turned okay not super tight. |

Wisconsin | A 93 wouldn't have a tapered frame I believe that was the first year the 6000 series came out. I think they tapered the frames in 95 not sure though. I grew up on Oliver's and Whites and the 6000-8000 series were a disappointment from the 100-195 series 1987-92 if you could shift and drive they were decent tractor's compared to other brand's. We found a 6144 at a Deere dealer in Missouri it was a 97 model 2wd. with 800 Hrs. on it around 2002 or so. We have a semi mounted 8 row corn planter and the electric load sensing 3 pt. was problematic for a few season's. Neighbor's 6144 blew almost every hydraulic line metal or hose from the pump's having more pressure than the older Whites. Our's find's every poor hose on whatever you hook up to it even with the valves on low flow. I'd Try and get the 160 on Sat. auction in Iowa or look at a Magnum in your shoes and pass on a 6175-6195 IMO.

| Farmer at heart OG. - 8/16/2010 20:50 Our's find's every poor hose on whatever you hook up to it even with the valves on low flow. Same thing happened here when we got the 6144 as all of the previous tractors were 2-1*5 models. Happened to my uncle also when he went from 2-1*5 models to a new Buhler Versatile.
For what its worth that will happen anytime you jump up a bunch of years in tractor models. Newer tractors have more pressure before the detent kicks out no matter what you have the flow set at. |
