UTB U-510 or WHITE 2-45?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the U-510 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2-45 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The WHITE 2-45 suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 22% (422 kg / 930 lb) heavier and four-wheel drive.
- The WHITE 2-45 suits road haulage better on this data: 30% (7.0 km/h / 4.3 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 2-45 is 22% heavier (422 kg / 930 lb) than the UTB U-510 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The WHITE 2-45 has 150% more forward gears (12 gears) than the UTB U-510 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The WHITE 2-45 has 30% more top speed (7.0 km/h / 4.3 mph) than the UTB U-510 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The WHITE 2-45 is available with four-wheel drive; the UTB U-510 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- Even on three-point lift (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- 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 U-510 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2-45 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, a creeper range and PTO independence.
