We farm exclusively with oliver tractors. Looking to purchase a 2-135 White. What are the pros and cons; or would a 105 with the perkins be a better tractor.

I too am looking for a 2-135. Keep in mind the rebuild kits are kinda spendy. I've been pondering finding a 2-135 with a bad engine and removing the herc. and putting in a Cummins. The Cummins would be easier on fuel and cheaper to rebuild.

We had both. Depends on what you want to do. The 105 last dyno'd 120 hp. The 135 had 176 hp. The 2-135 is a lot more tractor but it uses a lot more fuel. What didn't use a lot of fuel in the late 1970's?

The 2-105 is similar to a 1855 or 1955. Just slap in a 354 Perkins, nicer cab, and hang some new sheet metal. I'm sure this is oversimplified but that is the first impression. The 2-135 was pretty much an new tractor from the beginning. The engine was an old design but the tractor was new. You would do fine with either one.

I've had my series 3 2-135 for 5 years now. I was looking for a 105 or 110 when I got it. Everybody at the dealership and even the guy who delivered it said I would like the 135 better. All said it has a better transmission and rearend. I was a little unhappy about the fuel consumption at first,but I bought some bigger tillage tools to put that much power to use and it'll do a lot of work on the fuel it uses. If you run it on the 540 PTO on something like the round baler or the manure spreader in the winter,it runs 540 at 1700 engine rpms,so you save some fuel there. Sometimes I call it EDSEL...every day something else leaks,but I guess that's kind of an exageration. You do get a few drips here and there now and then though. I traded a 4040 Deere that I bought new for mine. It was 90 hp,easier on fuel,but the White is so much more trouble free,cheaper to maintain,does more work in an hour by a mile,that even with the additional fuel use,it's cheaper to own.So..I wouldn't be afraid of another one. Just be aware of how much larger they are than a 105.

Edsel? That is so true! I was once the other green fan, gosh, those 4440's are hard to beat, but even most of them are accumulating hours. As far as the 105 - 110 are concerned, I think they're wonderful tractors. My dad bought a jd 4320 when I was in school, a wonderful tractor, we used it alot for everything, but he says now he thinks he would have bought a 105 since he's been raking with mine. He loves that tractor but won't admit it. As far as power concerns, my 110 and 105 are really close. I've got a five sixteen bottom plow which my father-in-law said that 110 won't pull it very deep, (he's a red man), he stood at the end of the field and watched me plow fescue sod in august ten inches deep. After a few rounds he got on his Mule and drove off, I didn't say too much when I seen him later. He also said it wouldn't pull a twenty foot field cultivator prooved him wrong. I don't use the 105 for heavy tillage but I wouldn't be scared to. I guess I'm saying don't count out the 105 - 110 they're excellent on fuel. Good luck!!
