The White American series – US farm tractors from White Farm Equipment: the 60 and 80 types, a four-cylinder 3,927 cm³ diesel, 44.1 to 60.3 kW
The American series represents the entry and mid-range class of the US maker White Farm Equipment, which built farm tractors for the North American market in the 1980s. The register lists the 60 and 80 types here, whose designation tracks their respective horsepower rating – a naming convention common in the US tractor industry, where the model number directly states the power class.

The register lists 2 versions with 44.1 to 60.3 kW (60 to 82 hp) from four-cylinder engines of 3,927 cm³, unladen weights of 3,148 to 3,243 kg, lengths of 3,850 to 3,874 mm, a width of 2,070 mm and heights of 2,457 to 2,460 mm.
The American series targeted mid-sized arable farms in the US Midwest and the Great Plains, where it competed with comparable entry-level models from John Deere, Case IH and Ford; simple mechanical specification and a comparatively low purchase price were typical of this class. White Farm Equipment later became part of the wider consolidation of the US farm-machinery industry, and the American series counts today among the lesser-known chapters of that history.
On used examples, the condition of the injection pump and cooling system, the state of clutch and gearbox, the function of the hydraulics and PTO, and rust on sheet-metal parts and mudguards all count; spare parts run through independent US farm-machinery dealers and specialists in classic American tractors.
