Oliver / White

Here is the translation of the text to English:

---

White’s first articulated-frame tractor, the 4-150 Field Boss, was placed in the same power class as the earlier Minneapolis-Moline A4T, but much had been redesigned using the same parts as White’s new 2-wheel drive tractors; for example, the rear end was the same as in the 2-105. The tractor’s structure was low, and the weight distribution was designed to be 50/50 when pulling an implement. The model introduced in 1974 featured a 10.4-liter Caterpillar V8 (engine power 175 hp) and an Oliver 6+2 transmission, which optionally included a 3-speed high/low range. The hydraulics used the same 75-liter variable displacement pump as White’s 2-wheel drive tractors. Likewise, the optional three-point hitch had a lifting capacity of 2700 kilograms, matching those models. The power take-off (PTO) was standard (1000 rpm with a hydraulic clutch). The cab looked the same as in previous models, and the noise level was around 80 decibels.

A year later, the 4-180 was introduced, which had more engine power, planetary gear drives in the axles, a 12+4 transmission, a dual-disc clutch, and standard 38" wheels.

In 1979, the redesigned models 4-175 and 4-210 were released. The smaller model received only minor updates, with the model designation switching from gross power (VOA) to engine power. The cab was modernized and the control levers were grouped on a console on the right side. In the larger 4-210, the powertrain borrowed from the 2-wheel drive tractors was adopted, along with an 18+6 transmission. The articulated frame was made stronger than before.

White 4-150 – 4-210 Field Boss

In the autumn of 1974, the Minneapolis-Moline G1355 and its red sister model, the White 2270, were replaced by the silver-colored White 2-150. The engine continued to be the 9.6-liter Hercules used by Minneapolis-Moline. The transmission was an Oliver unsynchronized 6+2 (with a high-speed range of 18+6). The clutch was a 14-inch ceramic type, and the dry disc brakes had 3 discs. The power take-off clutch was hydraulic, and the standard speed was 1000 rpm. The closed hydraulic system had a 75-liter pump, and the lift device featured draft sensing. The cab, equipped with a three-sided front, was an optional accessory.

Just two years later, significant updates were introduced. The engine was changed to a 7.8-liter turbocharged one. There were now two models: 2-135 and 2-155. The high-speed range became a standard feature, and the brakes were replaced with oil-immersed types. The cab noise level was lowered to a competitive 80 decibels.

In 1978, the 2-180 model was introduced, featuring a Caterpillar 10.4-liter V8 and two 13-inch clutch discs. A new feature was the digital Accra-Tach meter, which could display engine speed, driving speed, or PTO speed. A photo of the four-wheel-drive model was now included in the brochure, but no technical details were provided. Models 2-135, 2-155, and 2-180 were sold in Central and Southern European countries.

After White’s bankruptcy in 1981, production continued under the brand WFE with red decals. A more significant update came with the 1982 Series 3, which featured a quiet and airtight cab representing the best of its time. No more control rods were present in the cab, and the noise level was successfully reduced to 75.5 decibels.

White 2-135 – 2-180 Field Boss

In the autumn of 1974 White introduced two silver-painted two-wheel-drive tractors, the 2-70 and the 2-105. These replaced the earlier Oliver 55-series models, which had also been sold under the Minneapolis-Moline name. Both brands’ design solutions were combined in the new tractors, and several entirely new features were added. For example, the clutch could be rebuilt without splitting the tractor housing.

2-70  
• Powered by Oliver six-cylinder petrol or diesel engines  
• 6 + 2-speed unsynchronized transmission, with an optional three-speed “Hydraul-Shift” power shuttle  
• 12-inch clutch with ceramic linings  
• Hydrostatic steering with an adjustable column  
• Open-center hydraulics driven by a 55 l/min pump and two external remote couplers  
• No factory-installed cab available  
• Four-wheel-drive listed as an option, but the brochure included neither pictures nor technical data for it  
• As a rear-drive model (Field Boss), it featured a long wheelbase and most often a wide-adjustable front axle  

2-105  
• Perkins-built six-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine  
• Same transmission as the 2-70, but with a 13-inch clutch  
• Standard 540/1000 rpm PTO  
• Large, fender-mounted fuel tanks in the Oliver style (not integrated with a cab)  
• Optional cab with a three-panel front windshield  
• Both the 2-85 and 2-105 saw sales in many European countries  

In 1976 the 2-85 was introduced. It was mechanically identical to its bigger sibling except that it lacked a turbocharger, reverted to a 12-inch clutch, and used two-disc brakes instead of three-disc assemblies.

White 2-70 – 2-105 Field Boss

The White Farm Equipment, which had passed to new owners, continued under the WFE brand, but financial difficulties persisted still in 1983, when the articulated models 4-225 and 4-270 were introduced. The factory was shut down for most of the year, and these models only entered production towards the end of the year. The 4-225 Field Boss was a direct development of its predecessor, the 4-210. The 10.4-liter Caterpillar engine had received a turbocharger, and the power had increased to 225 horsepower. The transmission had 18+6 gears with a three-speed range gearbox. A PTO at 1000 rpm, a hydraulic lift, and dual wheels were standard equipment. The cab was significantly improved, and the noise level dropped to 78 decibels.

The 4-270 Field Boss, on the other hand, was an entirely new model and in many ways more robust. Its engine was a turbocharged 6-cylinder 10.45-liter Caterpillar. The transmission offered 16+4 gears with a four-speed range gearbox. The hydraulic lift was an optional extra. A model 4-325 was also under development, but it never reached mass production.

These models remained the last articulated tractors produced by White.

WFE 4-225 – 4-275 Field Boss

The second‐generation Cockshutts arrived in 1958. The previous streamlined shapes were replaced by straight lines and a Harvest Gold paint scheme. A three‐point hitch was standard, the electrical system was 12 volts, the brakes were dry disc units, and power steering was offered as an option.

The 540 replaced the 20. It was powered by a 2.4-liter Continental gasoline engine. The 6+2-speed transmission was now the same as that used on the larger models. The 550 came with a 3.2-liter Hercules engine, available in either gasoline or diesel. The 560 initially carried a 4.4-liter Perkins L4, which was replaced the following year by the direct‐injection 4-270. At the top of the range sat the six‐cylinder Hercules model, now numbered 570. For 1961 the engine grew from 4.9 liters to 5.6 liters, and the model was renamed the 570 Super.

In 1962 White purchased Cockshutt, and from then on tractors built by Oliver were sold under the Canadian brand name.

Cockshutt 540-570

Here is the English translation of the text:

The Canadian agricultural machinery manufacturer Cockshutt had sold Oliver and Allis-Chalmers tractors, but in 1946 the first Canadian tractor, the Cockshutt 30, was introduced. Its appearance bore a similar style to the Oliver. The engine was a 4-cylinder 2.5-liter Buda gasoline or diesel engine. The transmission was 4+1, later also 8+2. A special requirement that was the starting point in the design was a power take-off independent of the driving clutch. Cockshutt was the first on the market to offer this. In American fashion, various front axle versions with narrow and wide tread widths were available.

The second model introduced in 1949 was the Cockshutt 40, which had a 6-cylinder engine. In 1953, the 50 came out with a larger engine; its most significant differences from the 40 were disc brakes and more powerful hydraulics. In 1956, the 35 was introduced, which was otherwise similar to the 40 but equipped with a 4-cylinder Hercules gasoline engine.

In 1952, the model 20 was introduced, which corresponded to the demand for utility-type small tractors competing with Ferguson and equipped with a three-point hitch. The 20 initially had a 2.0-liter Continental gasoline engine, but during the first model year, it switched to a 2.3-liter engine.

Above these models, Cockshutt further complemented its lineup with Oliver models 60-90. In the USA, Cockshutt was sold under the CO-OP cooperative brand.

Cockshutt 20-50

From 1976 onward, the Oliver, Minneapolis-Moline and Cockshutt brands were dropped. All of the group’s tractors were now badged White and painted silver-gray. At the bottom of the lineup were the Iseki-built 2-30 and 2-35 Field Boss models. The other imported range, as before, was Fiat-built. Models previously known as the Oliver 1265 and 1365 were now rebadged 2-50 and 2-60 Field Boss. Their Fiat equivalents were the 500 and 640, but with a uniquely styled White front end. Both models were also available in four-wheel drive. At that time the model numbers all began with ‘2’, since only proper frame-steered tractors carried a ‘4’ in the White numbering system.

An 8+2 gearbox—which had already been standard equipment in Europe—was now also fitted to the 2-50. Power steering and a four-post rollover protection structure were standard features as well.

The successors to these models, the 2-45 and 2-62, came from Iseki. In Canada, however, the model sold was the White 700, which was identical to the Fiat 780.

More from this manufacturer

Minneapolis-Moline bought Avery in 1951. At the factory, the model Avery R, introduced the previous year, was in production, which Minneapolis-Moline renamed BF because they already had their own model called R. The color was changed to yellow, but no other major changes were made. The engine was a 2.2-liter Hercules gasoline engine, and there were four gears. The BFS was equipped with a single front wheel, the BFD with two, BTW with a wide front axle, and BFH with high ground clearance.

The rarer little brother was the Avery V, which was part of the Minneapolis-Moline series in 1952. The following year it was renamed BG, and the same larger engine and four-speed transmission as in the BF were adopted. The BG was always equipped with a wide front axle and was a so-called Utility model. These models were not available with a lifting device.
