Introduction
Cockshutt 1900 Row-Crop Tractor
The Cockshutt 1900 is a row-crop tractor produced between 1963 and 1964 in Charles City, Iowa, USA. As part of the 1800 series, this model was designed to provide significant power and operational flexibility for agricultural field work.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a General Motors 4-53 four-cylinder blower diesel engine. With a displacement of 212 cubic inches (3.5 L) and a compression ratio of 21:1, it delivers 99 hp. The engine is liquid-cooled, utilizes an oil bath air cleaner, and operates at a rated speed of 2200 RPM.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Two transmission options were available: a standard six-speed forward and two-speed reverse unsynchronized gear transmission, or the Hydra-Power partial power shift transmission providing twelve forward and four reverse gears. Both configurations utilize a dry disc clutch. The machine was offered in either two-wheel or four-wheel drive variants.
Hydraulics and PTO
The 1900 features an independent rear PTO system capable of 540 or 1000 RPM at 2000 engine RPM. The hydraulic system provides a pump flow of 13 gpm (49.2 lpm) and has a fluid capacity of 5 gallons (18.9 L), supporting the operation of various mounted implements via the Category II/I rear hitch.
Dimensions and Handling
The tractor has a wheelbase of 97.25 inches (247 cm) and an operating weight of 12,000 lbs (5,443 kg), which can be increased to 18,355 lbs (8,325 kg) when ballasted. It features manual steering, though power steering was available on later models, and utilizes differential dry disc brakes. The ground clearance is 23.875 inches (60 cm).
Conclusion
With its robust diesel engine and multiple transmission configurations, the Cockshutt 1900 was engineered for heavy-duty row-crop applications. Its combination of weight, power, and hydraulic capacity made it a versatile machine for farmers during the mid-1960s.
