Introduction
Nuffield 4/60 Agricultural Tractor
The Nuffield 4/60 is a two-wheel drive agricultural tractor manufactured in Birmingham, England, between 1961 and 1963. Designed for versatility in field operations, this model is recognized for its robust mechanical construction and reliance on a liquid-cooled diesel engine platform.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 4-cylinder BMC diesel engine with a displacement of 3.8 liters. It provides a gross power output of 60 hp (44.7 kW) and a net power of 57 hp (42.5 kW) at a rated engine speed of 2000 RPM. The engine cooling system utilizes a liquid-cooled design with a capacity of 15.3 liters, and the air intake is managed through an oil bath air cleaner.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The drivetrain features a gear-type transmission providing 5 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. Power transfer is managed by a 280 mm dry disc clutch. The tractor is equipped with a mechanical rear differential lock to improve traction during field tasks, and utilizes independent mechanical expanding shoe brakes for deceleration and maneuvering.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is of the open-center type. For implement operation, the tractor features an independent rear PTO operating at 540 RPM (1.375-inch shaft). The rear hitch is compatible with Type II/I implements, offering a lift capacity of 2300 lbs (1043 kg), with optional depth control configurations available.
Dimensions and Chassis
With a wheelbase of 198 cm and an operating weight of 2580 kg, the Nuffield 4/60 is built for stability. The front tread is adjustable between 134 and 180 cm, while the rear tread ranges from 135 to 195 cm. The machine features an open operator station and manual steering system, sitting on a chassis that provides a ground clearance of 62 cm at the frame.
Conclusion
The Nuffield 4/60 is a mechanical-focused tractor suited for general agricultural applications requiring consistent power and a straightforward, manual operating environment. Its build quality and standardized implement compatibility make it a notable example of early 1960s British agricultural engineering.
