White 4-30L: compact loader from the US brand White with a Wisconsin engine, rated at 30 hp or 22 kW, introduced in the 1970s
White is a US brand of agricultural and construction machinery under which compact loaders were also sold. The 4-30L was built in the United States and introduced to the range in the 1970s. In the United States, brands such as White, alongside their competitors, shaped the early spread of compact loaders in construction and landscaping work.

As a skid-steer loader, the 4-30L produces 30 hp or 22 kW from a Wisconsin-branded engine, an air-cooled unit widely used at this power level in compact machines. Without a steered axle, a skid-steer loader is also shorter than a comparable wheel loader with steering knuckles, giving it an edge in tight spaces.
Skid-steer loaders turn by braking and counter-rotating the wheels or tracks on one side rather than through a steered axle, making them highly manoeuvrable in tight spaces. This layout suits yard work, smaller earthmoving jobs and use with changing attachments such as buckets, pallet forks or sweepers.
On a machine this old, buying used means checking above all the condition of the drive chains or belts, rust on the frame, and the tightness of the hydraulic cylinders for the lift arms and attachment. Parts for the Wisconsin engine today are mostly found through suppliers specialising in older compact machinery. Original paint and decals are rarely intact after decades of yard use.
