Introduction

The 1855: A Workhorse Built to Last!

Prepare to be impressed by the 1855 tractor, a true titan in the agricultural machinery landscape. Building on the legacy of the 1755 and 1955 series, this machine is engineered for those who demand unwavering reliability and formidable power. Let's dive into what makes the 1855 a standout performer in the field.

Heart of a Lion: The Oliver-Waukesha Engine

At the core of the 1855 beats a robust Oliver-Waukesha engine. This 6-cylinder, liquid-cooled gasoline powerhouse boasts a displacement of 310 cubic inches (5.1 L), delivering a commanding 102 horsepower at a rated 2400 RPM. With a compression ratio of 8.5:1 and a dry air cleaner system, this engine is designed for efficient and enduring performance, ready to tackle any challenge.

Unmatched Control and Versatility

Experience superior handling with power steering and differential hydraulic disc brakes, ensuring precise control even in demanding conditions. The 1855 offers the flexibility of two- or four-wheel drive, adapting seamlessly to various terrains. For operator comfort and safety, an open operator station is standard, with optional two-post ROPS and a fully enclosed cab available.

Hydraulics and PTO: Powering Your Productivity

The 1855 is equipped with a closed-center hydraulic system, featuring a generous pump flow of 20 gpm (75.7 lpm), ready to power a wide array of implements. The independent rear PTO operates at 540 or 1000 RPM, providing the versatility needed for diverse agricultural tasks, ensuring you can always find the right setting for your equipment.

Transmission Choices for Every Need

Whether you prefer the simplicity of a 6-speed gear transmission or the advanced control of an 18-speed partial power shift transmission (featuring a 330mm cerametallic disc clutch), the 1855 has you covered. The Hydraul-Shift option offers seamless power shifts between under-drive, direct-drive, and over-drive for each gear, maximizing efficiency and minimizing downtime.

Built to Work: Dimensions and Capacity

With a substantial weight of 11,150 lbs (5057 kg) and robust dimensions, including impressive wheelbase and ground clearance options for both 2WD and 4WD configurations, the 1855 offers stability and capability. The rear hitch supports Category I/II implements, with a rear lift capacity of 4,000 lbs (1814 kg) and an optional 6,000 lbs (2721 kg) for the Cat 3 hitch, making it ready for heavy-duty work.

Conclusion

"The 1855 tractor, produced by Cockshutt (part of White) between 1970 and 1975, is more than just a machine; it's a testament to enduring engineering and agricultural prowess. Its combination of raw power, thoughtful design, and versatile options makes it an exceptional choice for farmers seeking a reliable partner for generations to come.
