Cockshutt 30: The Canadian Workhorse That Defined an Era

Step back in time and discover the enduring legacy of the Cockshutt 30, a tractor that not only paved the way for Canadian agricultural machinery but also introduced groundbreaking features like the live PTO system. This robust machine, built between 1946 and 1957, is a testament to durable engineering and practical design, making it a sought-after piece for collectors and farmers alike.

Heart of the Operation: The Buda Engine

Under the hood, the Cockshutt 30 boasts a reliable Buda engine, a 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled gasoline powerhouse. With a displacement of 153.1 cubic inches (2.5 liters) and a compression ratio of 6:1, this engine delivers a solid performance at 1650 rated RPM. Its bore and stroke of 3.4375x4.125 inches ensure efficient operation, while the 18-quart coolant capacity keeps it running smoothly through demanding tasks.

Transmission Versatility for Every Field

Adaptability is key, and the Cockshutt 30 offers just that with its transmission options. Choose between a straightforward 4-speed gear transmission providing 4 forward and 1 reverse gear, or opt for the enhanced Hi-low transmission that adds another layer of control, resulting in a total of 8 forward and 2 reverse gears. This versatility ensures you have the right gear for plowing, tilling, or transporting.

Built for Work: Chassis and Hydraulics

This tractor features a dependable two-wheel drive system, paired with mechanical contracting band brakes for reliable stopping power. The open operator station provides a clear view of your surroundings, enhancing safety and ease of use. While specific hydraulic lift details are not extensively detailed, the system includes a capacity of 1.5 gallons (5.7 liters), ready to power your implements.

Ready for Action: PTO and Dimensions

The Cockshutt 30 is equipped with a live Rear PTO, a feature that was revolutionary for its time, allowing continuous implement operation independent of the tractor's movement. With a 540 Rear PTO Type, it's ready to handle a variety of agricultural machinery. Its dimensions, including a length of 132 inches (335 cm) and a height of 60 inches (152 cm), along with an operating weight of 3,620 lbs (1642 kg) and a ballasted weight of 5,528 lbs (2507 kg), provide a stable and capable platform.

Conclusion

"The Cockshutt 30 is more than just a tractor; it's a piece of agricultural history. As the first production tractor built in Canada and the first with a live PTO, it represents a significant leap forward in farm machinery. Its blend of reliable power, versatile transmission, and pioneering features makes it an enduring symbol of Canadian innovation and a valuable asset for any collection or working farm."
