Introduction
Cockshutt 2050 Row-Crop Tractor
Produced between 1968 and 1969 by Cockshutt (a division of White) in Charles City, Iowa, the 2050 is a row-crop tractor designed for heavy-duty agricultural operations. With a total production run of 383 units, this model represents a specific era of American tractor engineering, offering 131 horsepower and robust mechanical features.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled, 6-cylinder Oliver-Hercules diesel engine. With a displacement of 478 cubic inches (7.8 L) and a compression ratio of 18.0:1, the engine delivers its rated power at 2400 RPM. It utilizes a dry-type air cleaner and features a firing order of 1-5-3-6-2-4, designed for sustained performance in demanding field conditions.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 2050 offers two transmission configurations to suit operational requirements. The standard option is a 6-speed unsynchronized gear transmission. Alternatively, the Hydraul-Shift partial powershift transmission provides 18 forward and 6 reverse gears, allowing for clutchless, on-the-move shifting between over- and under-drive ratios for each gear. Both systems utilize a 330mm cerametallic disc clutch.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is an open-center type, delivering a pump flow of 9 gpm (34.1 lpm) at a pressure of 2050 psi. It supports 2 to 4 valves for implement operation. The rear Category III hitch is equipped with position and draft control, providing a lift capacity of 6000 lbs (2721 kg) at 24 inches behind the hitch point.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
Featuring a wheelbase of 97.7 inches (248 cm), the tractor is available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations. It is equipped with power steering and independent disc brakes. The operator station is open by design, with an optional cab featuring air conditioning. The tractor's ballasted weight reaches 18890 lbs (8568 kg), ensuring significant traction for heavy draft work.
Conclusion
The Cockshutt 2050 is a substantial row-crop tractor suited for professional agricultural applications requiring high power and significant lifting capabilities.
