White 2-105 MFWD or MM 706 MFWD

lenray · Feb 13, 2011

Hello tractor guys.

I am interested in one of these tractors. Both have cabs. The Moline is about 15 years older than the Oliver-White.
I will only use the tractors to push snow on my own property. The price on the tractors are the same.
I would appreciate any and all info. you can share about each tractor.
Both tractors look very clean and have great rubber.
What are the HP on these machines??

external_link would be a good place to look - they also tell the HP on tractors

Nebraska tests show 105.6 hp for the 2-105 and 101.7 hp for the 706. Recall setting on a 706 at the Ohio State Fair and believed I could plow up the whole county with this massive tractor. The hood was so long I imagined it had to have a straight eight. Occasionally consider purchasing one but already have a GVI that is seldom run. If only I could have today's resources and be magically transfered back to the early 60's.

If you are going use the tractor I would get the White 105MFWD. If you were going to restore the tractor for your collection I would get the MM 706MFWD. The MM would probably have more collector interest. The White would be easier to get parts for and I think you would like the shifting better. Are you going to put a loader or a dozer on the front or use a Gnuse loader on the back? The White had a fairly nice cab (although not as nice as a JD) and you sit a little farther forward which makes loader operation a little easier. White MFWD axle will be stronger than the MM and if the cab interior needs some repair it will be a little easier.

Tough to beat the 2-105.Good all around reliable tractor and good power/economy with the 354 Perkins.'Bout as good as tractors can get.

That MM706 front end is just about impossible to get all of the parts for. I just went through one last year for a collector friend. We had to have a lot of parts made. He had over ten grand in just the front end.

So if you are going to use it in everyday farming I would get the White 105 mfwd. They are much easier to get parts for. Plus the front axle is built much heavier so if you use a loader it would be far superior. The turning radius is much better on the White 105.

Now if you are looking for a collector piece then the MM706 would be the choice that will appreciate in value the most.

i think the guys below pretty well covered it. The 2-105 is a better tractor to use and is more economical with a better front end, shorter front hood, better cab, better fuel economy but the Minnie Mo would make a cool collector tractor.

Both are good tractors to collect I'd take the MM to use regularly I'd go with the White.I hate decisions like that as I usually end up with both(LOL)
