I hate to offer myself up as the odd man out, but I really don't like them. I thought they were unusually hard to work on for a modern machine. Before you lift the engine out you have to pull the PTO out and pull the fuel tank, and to get the tank out you have to tilt the cab back. And there is an o-ring on the back of the O/U coupler, no matter how careful you are you don't know if it went in undamaged until it is finished enough to run the engine. And an awful lot of external hydraulic lines to leak that are built into the cases on most of the other brands. Due to the old belly casting design they are quite heavy, they will therefore out pull anything in their horsepower class but nothing in their weight class. The Perkins is a good engine, but compared to AC, JD, IH, or Cummins engines, they really don't stand out. I worked at an AC dealer that carried White, and I remember wanting to hide when a dead one came in. I do like using them, easy to handle and user friendly.
