Massey Ferguson MF 2775 or WHITE 185?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the MF 2775 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 185 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The WHITE 185 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 51% (28.3 L/min / 7.5 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The WHITE 185 suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: four-wheel drive.
- The Massey Ferguson MF 2775 suits road haulage better on this data: 18% (5.5 km/h / 3.4 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 WHITE 185 has 51% more hydraulic flow (28.3 L/min / 7.5 gpm) than the Massey Ferguson MF 2775 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The WHITE 185 has 125% more forward gears (10 gears) than the Massey Ferguson MF 2775 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Massey Ferguson MF 2775 has 18% more top speed (5.5 km/h / 3.4 mph) than the WHITE 185 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The WHITE 185 is available with four-wheel drive; the Massey Ferguson MF 2775 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The WHITE 185 is newer: production began 10 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (1000 rpm).
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the MF 2775 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 185 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, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
