Fiat 650 (DT) or WHITE 2-62?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 650 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2-62 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Fiat 650 (DT) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 23% (388 kg / 855 lb) more three-point lift.
- The WHITE 2-62 suits road haulage better on this data: 25% (6.0 km/h / 3.7 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 Fiat 650 (DT) has 23% more lift (388 kg / 855 lb) than the WHITE 2-62 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Fiat 650 (DT) is 17% heavier (416 kg / 917 lb) than the WHITE 2-62 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The WHITE 2-62 has 43% more forward gears (6 gears) than the Fiat 650 (DT) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The WHITE 2-62 has 25% more top speed (6.0 km/h / 3.7 mph) than the Fiat 650 (DT) (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Fiat 650 (DT) offers 1000 rpm at the PTO, which the WHITE 2-62 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The WHITE 2-62 is newer: production began 9 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 650 (DT) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2-62 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
