Mercedes-Benz MB trac 700 or WHITE 2-62?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the MB trac 700 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 WHITE 2-62 suits road haulage better on this data: 20% (5.0 km/h / 3.1 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 Mercedes-Benz MB trac 700 is 34% heavier (841 kg / 1,854 lb) than the WHITE 2-62 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The WHITE 2-62 has 150% more forward gears (12 gears) than the Mercedes-Benz MB trac 700 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The WHITE 2-62 has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Mercedes-Benz MB trac 700 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Mercedes-Benz MB trac 700 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 5 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 MB trac 700 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.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the MB trac 700: lift at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Mercedes-Benz MB trac 700”); the 2-62: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “White 2-62”) — 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, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
