Introduction
Cockshutt 1250 Utility Tractor
The Cockshutt 1250 is a utility tractor produced in Italy between 1966 and 1969. Designed for general agricultural tasks, this model features a 42-horsepower gasoline engine and a two-wheel drive configuration.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled Fiat gasoline engine with a displacement of 116 cubic inches (1.9 L). It operates at a rated engine speed of 2500 RPM. The engine cooling system has a capacity of 11 quarts (10.4 L), and the lubrication system requires 6.25 quarts (5.9 L) of oil. An oil bath air cleaner is used to ensure air quality for the combustion process.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 1250 utilizes a partially synchronized manual transmission providing 6 forward gears and 2 reverse gears. Specifically, gears 2/3 and 5/6 are synchronized to assist in smoother transitions during operation. The drivetrain includes a mechanical rear differential lock to improve traction in field conditions, and the tractor is equipped with mechanical band brakes.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system has a total capacity of 3.25 gallons (12.3 L) and features one valve. The rear hitch is a Category I type, capable of a lift capacity of 2650 lbs (1202 kg). It incorporates both position and draft control, allowing the operator to manage implement depth and load effectively.
PTO and Electrical System
The rear Power Take-Off (PTO) is a 540 RPM type, engaged via a live two-stage clutch. This configuration allows the operator to stop the tractor without interrupting the PTO drive. The electrical system operates on 12 volts, supported by two batteries and a generator charging system with a negative ground.
Conclusion
The Cockshutt 1250 is a classic utility tractor suited for small to medium-scale agricultural operations. Its combination of a 42-hp engine, synchronized gear ranges, and standard hydraulic controls makes it a dependable machine for general field work and implement management.
