Introduction
Cockshutt 570 Super: Technical Overview
The Cockshutt 570 Super is a two-wheel drive agricultural tractor produced between 1961 and 1962. Manufactured in Brantford, Ontario, Canada, this model represents a specific period of North American agricultural engineering with a total production run of 1,682 units.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is equipped with a Hercules DD339 engine, a 6-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel unit with a displacement of 339 cubic inches (5.6 liters). This engine configuration provides the necessary torque for heavy field operations. It is rated at 60 hp (44.7 kW) at the drawbar and 64 hp (47.7 kW) at the belt, allowing the machine to handle implements such as a 5-bottom plow.
Transmission and Drive
The powertrain features an unsynchronized gear transmission system, offering 6 forward speeds and 2 reverse speeds. This setup requires manual shifting and is typical of the mechanical simplicity found in tractors of this era. The power is delivered to the ground via a two-wheel drive system, supported by 14-34 agricultural rear tires to maintain traction during field work.
Operator Environment
The Cockshutt 570 Super is designed with an open operator station. This configuration provides the operator with unobstructed visibility of the surrounding work area and the implements attached to the rear of the machine.
Conclusion
With its 5.6-liter diesel engine and mechanical drivetrain, the Cockshutt 570 Super was designed for standard heavy-duty traction tasks. Its limited production numbers and historical context make it a machine of interest for collectors and those maintaining vintage agricultural equipment.
