ALLIS-CHALMERS 4 W-220 or WHITE 4-225?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 4 W-220 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 4-225 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The ALLIS-CHALMERS 4 W-220 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 141% (166.0 L/min / 43.9 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The WHITE 4-225 suits road haulage better on this data: 33% (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) more top speed.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “the same stated configuration”. Measured figures are compared only with measured, claimed only with claimed, at the same test condition; differences within each figure’s tolerance are not called.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The ALLIS-CHALMERS 4 W-220 has 141% more hydraulic flow (166.0 L/min / 43.9 gpm) than the WHITE 4-225 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The WHITE 4-225 has 33% more top speed (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) than the ALLIS-CHALMERS 4 W-220 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 25% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (1000 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 4 W-220 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 4-225 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the 4 W-220: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Allis-Chalmers 4-W 220”); the 4-225: lift 610 mm behind the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “White 4-225”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
