No, I think you're likely to get the most for your money in a 4-210. The first White 4wd series, the 4-150 and 4-180, used what were essentially 2-105 rear ends back to back. Fine from a design standpoint, however, when these machines were dualled up, heavily ballasted, and not allowed the desirable amount of wheel slip, the rear ends proved to be the weak link, especially when the 3208s were juiced up. These Whites were intended to favorably compete with high hp 2wd tractors, offering 4wd traction with row crop verstatility. They were not intended to be Steigers or Versatiles for heavy draft loads day in, day out, even though they were often used as such. White realized this, and in the subsequent series, the 4-175 and 4-210, the much heavier 2-135/155 series rear ends replaced the 2-105 rear ends and completely resolved the problem, making for a very tough 4wd that could handle applications beyond what White originally intended their 4wd line to tackle. Average 4-210 value, I would estimate, to be worth $15-$20,000, with an exceptional unit in the range of just under $30k.
