1175 case vs 2135 white

i am thinking of stepping up a few horse power from the 190 xt to ether one of these or posible a 5088 but i cant see that one happening lmao which is the better tractor?? thanks

Both the case and white are rugged, reliable tractors in my opinion. They both have a few engine issues but from there back are good machines. A 1370 case would probably be a better comparison to a 2-135. The case 1175, if i remember right has the standard 8 speed, so you will have to stop to shift speeds, the white has the over under in each speed so it gives you partial powershifting. The case has the outboard planatary, so you will be limited to wheel spacing, the white has inboard planataries and straight axles. The case has the 451, which is not as good as engine as the 504 case engine in my opinion and has some sleeve issues, but if its recently been gone through you should be good to go. The white has a good engine and more horsepower than the case 451, but if it goes down it is a very expensive engine to overhaul. The neighbors 2 -155 went down a few years ago and it was 14,000 to go completely through it. I think the white has only a single 1000 pto shaft, and I think the case you will be able to shift from 540 to 1000, if its like the smaller cases. Don't know much about a 5088, I think they are also a good machine, but probably quite a bit more money than the other two. My opinion on the two tractors, its your money. :*)

I love my 5288. So the 5088 would not be a bad choice. Watch for a lesser priced one if you can. The White is a descent tractor too, the cab is definatly better than a 1066 style cab. I never had much experience with later Case tractors, drove 1070, 1370 a few times, not bad.

Most 2-135 had 540 and 1000 pto. I have one and they are great. 14000 to rebuild sounds very high to me.

I didnt realize the 135 had a two speed pto, dads 155 only has 1000, figured the 135 was the same. The reason the neighbors 155 cost so much was because of cavition or pitting where the sleeves fit and the block needed machining, I think thats what he said, and it also needed a new oil pump and was told that alone was close to 2 grand.

Hands down going away the White. That was White's most popular model. Super tough tractor. The 1175 Case was kind of a b@stard even among Cases IMHO.

Believe the differential in the 5088 uses bushings rather than bearings to support the pinions and which don't have the wear capacity of the higher powered 5288 and 5488 which use bearings. CIH continued the practice on the Magnums (the 7110, 7210 etc don't have bearings, the larger models have.
