Actually I misprinted that about the trans. It has 6 forward gears with a 3 speed powershift so it actually has 18 forward gears. A 4-180 white just used a hi-low gear box that you just have to stop to shift that gives you 12 forward speeds instead of 18. If I got serious about it I would probably put a 4-180 box in if the 4-150 powershift was too complicated to rebuild. Honestly though, I plow in 3rd direct. 4.5 mph. I disk in 3rd direct, and cultimulch in 4th direct, I think about 5.5 mph. That is about all I use the tractor for and I have no problem with gears. Going down the road in direct is 16.9 mph and overdrive is about 19 mph. Not a huge difference in travel time. I could get by easily with a straight 6 speed in the old girl. I just like stuff that is stone reliable, not frills. It has a radio, heater and a cab, ac don't work but could be got going if I wanted it. Don't use it in hot weather much at all in the spring. I do appreciate the heater though because in michigan it is cold a lot in the fall and spring. Main reason I didn't buy something like a 4430 was because of price and I wanted an articulated 4wd because we have one wet farm we do and I didn't want to be getting stuck if I could avoid it! Not that 4wd is unstickable. IH or JD would have been better tractors but the white has been pretty good for the price. Later.
