WHITE 2-135 Field Boss Tractor Forage Harvesting Alfalfa

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Dang that old girl is CLEAN!! She’s lived a good life. Only complaint you will ever hear from anybody about the 135’s was that the 478 was a shade on the thirsty side. It got better with engine updates throughout the production though.

[@dalekrueger1175]

One guy said the big bad Hercules just got. Meaner the more you pulled it down, the torque rise was unbelievable

[@joshbergellin5096]

Also compared to a 105 it’s more expensive to maintain, my dad won’t but 135 or 155 because a rebuild kit is around 4000 for one of those where a 105 is around 1000

[@michaelschonauer7100]

Love seeing these tractors work.

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.

[@acdiesel7439]

Awesome to see this 2-135 at work. Lots of these in this area back in the day. Local farm I grew up around had one w/ front wheel assist and rice and canes all the way around. Love hearing the engine hum.

[@ohiofarmlife4020]

Old tractors pulling new implements, awesome!

[@bigtractorpower]

😁👍👍

[@nellsonstout7001]

How about a 4330 pulling a 569 premium lol

[@rogerfuhr8067]

I have a White 2-70 Field Boss. Very popular in SW Missouri. 4 of them in a 4 mile radius of my farm. Good tractors.

[@edcrego396]

Dad bought one just like this one we pulled 7\18 with it and I'm hear to tell you it was a real work horse we were working some where around 700 acres and every bit of it was plowed it took over the duty's of a case 930 which we kept and plowed 5\16 with it thanks for the video bought back good old memories

[@wingrider687]

Nice video! That guy has the cleanest wagon roof I've ever seen... no roof haylage 😁

[@888HUSKERS]

We liked seeing that old silver tractor working in the field.

[@jaycow3154]

Like the video we have a 2-135 have had it for around 35 years been very good dependable tractor also have 4-150 2-150 2-105 2-70 and several Olivers

[@carlwolf4865]

What a great classic combo 👍👍👍👍👍

[@jakebrakejunky10-4]

Man that takes me back to my childhood we had one white on the farm surrounded by John Deeres and that white was my favorite for discing and planting corn. It would hold a straighter row when planting corn. Its a great tractor

[@90bobhop]

Back in the day when they first came out my dad had bought one in 78 that was our biggest tractor we had on the farm at that time

[@wrightfarmshoffman8663]

Awesome tractor combo , white was the best

[@johnl.vantreeck3636]

Leased 2-135s in1978 and 79. In 80 we leased a FWA model, the first year available, liked it and in fall, bought out the lease for $40K. White had some engine problems, at about 800 hrs. White replaced rings and sleeves. It had 11K on it when we we had it overhauled/rebuild. Still have it. With the help of the museum in Charles City, it was the 3rd 4th or 5th one to come off the line in Feb.

[@garlandhenry6792]

Nice clean looking equipment. Good drone footage

[@1DirtyMutt]

We had a IH 986 and traded it in and bought a 2-135 but it came with the front end assist. It was an absolute beast in the field big difference in wet field conditions compared to the 2wd 986.

[@robbiebishop2125]

A local farmer to me runs 2 of these. Great tractors with plenty if power. Always love getting the phone calls asking to come run one for him 😁

[@piperdoug428]

They seem to be a crowd favourite, fans of all different brands tend to look positive on the White tractors

[@nellsonstout7001]

Especially the 2-135 and 2-155. Those 478 Hercules engines put the hurt on anything in the same horsepower range

[@mackwoodcock7484]

This was my grandpas tractor when I was a boy every time I see 1 I think of him. It would have been his birthday yesterday your timing is incredible.

[@Ticky66MN]

What a great setup and video! Thank you!

[@interman7715]

Smooth looking machines.

[@captaindee6130]

Excellent video of a really nice rig. I never knew much about White tractors but they always seemed cool. This one is great, and of course there's no better way to show her off than chopping haylage! No I'm not biased. Why do you ask? ;)

[@jimshoemaker1258]

Never had any, but I always liked Whites. Had a friend who's family had a couple of them they had roomy cabs.👍

[@nellsonstout7001]

Better than a John Deere soungard and I will argue that with anyone

[@jankotze1959]

i have an Ertle model of the one with dual tires, great to see a real one in action

[@SimonKL11]

Great video👍We never had white tractors here in my area.

[@thesmallscalefarmer1849]

Great video! Have you ever filmed a Ford 8n or a Ferguson To-20 tractor? I know they are not very big but I think they are cool!

[@darrenneuschwander5967]

We used one of these on your family farm for years. We have a 2-70, 2-85, 2-105 and a 2-135.

[@brianzybura8633]

A very good video. Thanks for showing.

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.

[@garywest8901]

Good looking tractors. Did there engines hold up very well ? Thank you B T P.

[@90bobhop]

The one we had was good but when the turbo went bad was the last thing they check before going back to gather and found out that was the the problem when it was using oil on us check when they were putting it back together and he had bad seals it was leaking oil and the turbo it didn't need to be overhauled but yes it is a very good tractor

[@garywest8901]

90bobhop thank you , just not familiar with them.

[@42lookc]

7 guys don't like the fact that you can make all that power without all the usual noise. The Oliver 2050 & 2150's Whispering Diesel smoothly and quietly lived on in the 2-135 & 2-155.

[@drosdikmr7]

Please tell me you have more videos of the Uni System and White chopping corn around the 5 minute mark.

[@drosdikmr7]

Correction the 4:55 mark

[@bigtractorpower]

Oh yes I do. Look up the video from Big Tractor Power called Tractors Plows and Harvesters. You will see the Uni about mid way through and the silo being filled.

[@scruffy6151]

Many hours sittng in the seat of a 2-105 pulling a 1000 rpm Fox chopper in corn, hay and straw.

[@tooez90]

There were a few field boss tractors where I grew up...don't remember the field weights being silver though( they were all black)...must have been a farmer paint job...lol...nice video

[@Diy_Ua]

Привіт!! Прикольні відео!!! 👍👍👍👍

[@minnesotaoliveranddeere5919]

I do know of a farm in Minnesota that has a 1468 nh350 big bud spirit of 76 and I believe a 1030 case demonstrator model

[@c0untryf1sh3r]

Was that a White chopper shown briefly at 4:55? Never seen a self propelled chopper like that before.

[@bigtractorpower]

The is a New Idea Uni Harvester. WHITE-New Idea produced the silver UNI from 1988 to 1994.

[@c0untryf1sh3r]

@@bigtractorpower interesting, I'll have to look that up. Neat looking machine. Thanks for the info.

[@davidwhittredge3416]

We had a 2-110 fwd, my uncle said we would never get it stuck, well I did one time our neighbor had to bring over their fwd 300hp international to get it out.

[@nellsonstout7001]

Oopsy

[@Thoroughly_Wet]

I want a White and a Steiger for gits and shiggles.

[@nellsonstout7001]

If I farmed, I definitely would.

[@generationll]

When the 2-135 was introduced White did not have tractor between the 2-105 & 2-150 to compete against the 4430s,1066s,7040s.1270s,9700s

[@trj1972]

In the US was Deutz much common who marketed them?

[@jrice1091]

I remember in the 80s and some of the 90s duetz- Allis had some machines in the area. But most of the ones I remember were in the 40- 80hp range. And most of the time they were hooked to manure spreaders. I liked the lime green paint job they had and the Fwa models had an aggressive look to them for that time period. Our area of the US. was John Deere followed by Ford and New holland before they merged. There were quite a few Massey Ferguson and whites. In the early 70s Oliver's would have been a close second or third but they faded out quickly and then White's came around but never really had the same popularity. Even then there were a lot of Minneapolis molines but again they faded away also. There must have been a Leyland dealer in our area at some point because I do remember some Leyland's in our area for a time. most the ones I do remember seeing were smaller chore tractors with loaders on them. We have a restored Minneapolis Moline that needs a fresh battery this spring and hope to see it get a little exercise come summertime it'll be cool just to see it for nostalgic purposes.

[@nellsonstout7001]

Deutz marketed their machines themselves. I wouldn’t say they were common but they were definitely out there and well liked
