Introduction

Unleash the Power: The Cockshutt 1950 - A Legend in Row-Crop Farming!

Step back in time and discover the enduring legacy of the Cockshutt 1950, a true workhorse built for the demanding row-crop farming of its era. Manufactured by Cockshutt (part of White) in Charles City, Iowa, USA, between 1964 and 1969, this tractor is a testament to robust engineering and agricultural prowess. With its impressive 116 horsepower engine, the 1950 was designed to tackle the toughest jobs with unwavering reliability.

Heart of a Beast: The General Motors 4-53 Engine

At the core of the 1950 lies a formidable General Motors 4-53 engine. This two-cycle, liquid-cooled diesel powerhouse, boasting a 3.5-liter displacement, is equipped with a blower for enhanced performance. Running at a rated 2400 RPM, this engine delivers consistent and reliable power, ensuring you have the muscle needed for any task. The engine features a dual dry element air cleaner for optimal filtration and a 21:1 compression ratio for efficient combustion.

Versatile Power Delivery: PTO and Hydraulics

The 1950 is ready for action with its independent rear PTO, featuring a 540 PTO type, ensuring seamless operation with a wide array of implements. The hydraulic system is equally capable, offering an open center type, a generous 3.5-gallon capacity, and an impressive 11.7 GPM pump flow. This robust hydraulic setup is designed to handle demanding tasks with ease and precision.

Adaptable Drivetrain and Control

Whether you need maximum traction or enhanced maneuverability, the 1950 offers both two- and four-wheel drive options. Steering is a breeze thanks to the hydraulic power steering system, reducing operator fatigue. For safety and control, it’s equipped with reliable differential disc brakes, providing confident stopping power in all conditions. The operator station is designed for comfort, with an open design and the option for a cab, ensuring productivity throughout the day.

Transmission Options for Every Need

Flexibility is key, and the 1950 delivers with its transmission choices. Opt for the straightforward 6-speed gear transmission for reliable performance, or step up to the advanced Hydra-Power transmission. This innovative system offers a partial power shift, providing 12 forward and 4 reverse gears. The Hydra-Power allows for a power shift to a lower speed within each gear, giving you unparalleled control and efficiency when navigating different terrains and tasks.

Built to Last: Dimensions and Tires

The sturdy construction of the 1950 is evident in its dimensions. With a wheelbase of 105 inches (2WD) and robust Ag front tires (11.00-16) paired with Ag rear tires (23.1-34), this tractor is built for stability and performance. The adjustable tread widths on both front and rear ensure it can be configured for optimal row spacing and stability across various field conditions.

Conclusion

"The Cockshutt 1950 stands as a powerful and reliable machine from a golden era of agricultural engineering. Its combination of a robust engine, versatile PTO and hydraulic systems, adaptable transmissions, and durable construction makes it a standout choice for collectors and those who appreciate timeless agricultural machinery. If you're looking for a piece of history that still offers practical capability, the 1950 is certainly worth considering."
