Introduction
Cockshutt 1950 Row-Crop Tractor
The Cockshutt 1950 is a row-crop tractor produced between 1964 and 1969 in Charles City, Iowa, USA. Positioned as a high-power machine for its era, it was designed to handle demanding agricultural field tasks with a focus on mechanical reliability.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a General Motors 4-53 four-cylinder, two-cycle diesel engine. With a displacement of 212.4 cubic inches (3.5 liters) and a blower-assisted induction system, it delivers 116 horsepower. The engine features liquid cooling and a compression ratio of 21:1, operating at a rated speed of 2400 RPM.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Operators have access to two transmission configurations: a standard 6-speed gear transmission with 2 reverse gears, or the Hydra-Power partial power shift transmission, which provides 12 forward and 4 reverse speeds. The Hydra-Power system allows for shifting to a lower speed within each gear under load. The tractor was available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations.
Hydraulics and PTO
The 1950 is equipped with an open-center hydraulic system featuring a pump flow of 11.7 gallons per minute (44.3 liters per minute) and a 3.5-gallon reservoir capacity. It includes an independent rear power take-off (PTO) rated at 540 RPM, designed to operate at an engine speed of 2400 RPM.
Mechanical and Dimensions
Steering is assisted by a hydraulic power system, and braking is managed by differential disc brakes. The machine measures 105 inches in wheelbase for the 2WD model. It utilizes 11.00-16 front tires and 23.1-34 rear tires, providing significant ground contact for heavy-duty field work.
Conclusion
The Cockshutt 1950 serves as a robust utility tractor suitable for row-crop operations requiring consistent power and flexible gear management. Its two-cycle diesel engine and multiple transmission options reflect the engineering standards of the mid-1960s, making it a functional choice for intensive agricultural applications.
