Introduction
Cockshutt 1955 Row-Crop Tractor
Produced between 1970 and 1975 by Cockshutt, part of the White organization, the 1955 model is a row-crop tractor designed for heavy-duty agricultural operations. This unit is part of the 1855 series and was engineered to offer versatility and high-torque performance for professional farming applications.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by an Oliver-Waukesha 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a displacement of 310 cubic inches (5.1 liters). The engine operates at a rated speed of 2400 RPM and features a liquid-cooled system to maintain thermal stability during intensive use. It utilizes a dry-type air cleaner to ensure clean air intake in dusty field conditions.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Operators can choose between a standard 6-speed gear transmission or the advanced Hydraul-Shift option. The latter is a partial power shift system providing 18 forward and 6 reverse speeds, allowing for shifting between under-drive, direct-drive, and over-drive without clutching. Both configurations utilize a 330mm cerametallic clutch. The tractor is available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive variants.
Hydraulics and PTO
Equipped with a closed-center hydraulic system, the 1955 provides a pump flow of 20 gallons per minute (75.7 liters per minute). The rear hitch is compatible with Category II/III implements and offers a lift capacity of 6,000 lbs (2,721 kg). The independent rear PTO operates at a standard 1000 RPM, ensuring compatibility with modern implements of its era.
Operator Environment and Dimensions
The tractor features power steering and hydraulic dry disc brakes for improved control. The standard configuration includes an open operator station, with optional two-post ROPS or a full cab available for increased operator protection. The machine weighs approximately 11,250 lbs (5,103 kg) in base operating configuration, with the ability to reach 16,220 lbs (7,357 kg) when ballasted.
Conclusion
The Cockshutt 1955 is a robust, high-capacity row-crop tractor suitable for large-scale field work. Its combination of a powerful 6-cylinder engine, flexible transmission options, and substantial hydraulic capacity makes it a reliable tool for heavy traction and implement management.
