Cockshutt 560
The Cockshutt 560 row-crop tractor was built by the Cockshutt Plow Company, from 1958 to 1961. It succeeded the Cockshutt 40D4 diesel in the Cockshutt product line, and was capable of pulling four plows. The new tractor was restyled in accordance with the trend toward squared-off lines, compared to earlier Cockshutt offerings. Description and production The Cockshutt 560 succeeded the Cockshutt 35 Golden Arrow as a medium-sized row-crop tractor. In accordance with industry trends of the early 1960s, the 560 was styled with squared-off lines by industrial designer Raymond Loewy. The 560 was powered by a Perkins Engines four-cylinder diesel engine with a six-speed transmission.

Cockshutt 40
The Cockshutt 40 row-crop tractor was the second tractor produced by the Cockshutt Plow Company, from 1949 to 1958. Having developed the medium-sized Cockshutt 30, Cockshutt developed the heavier 40, using a six-cylinder engine. The 40 was rated for four plows. It was sold in the United States as the CO-OP E4. Description and production The Cockshutt 40 was scaled up from the 30, with many of the same features, including a live power takeoff (PTO), which at that time was a novelty. This optional feature allowed the tractor to operate machinery at a constant speed whether the tractor was in motion or stationary. The tractor was styled in the same streamlined manner as the 30 by Canadian architect Charles Brooks. A six-cylinder engine was provided by the American Buda Engine Company for the 40, supplemented by a diesel version in 1950. Kerosene and LP gas options were added to the product line in 1953. Following the acquisition of Buda by competitor Allis Chalmers in 1953, Cockshu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cockshutt was a large agricultural machinery manufacturer, known as Cockshutt Farm Equipment Limited (1957–1962), based in Brantford, Ontario, Canada. Founded as the Brantford Plow Works by James G. Cockshutt in 1877, the name was changed to the Cockshutt Plow Company when it was incorporated in 1882. After James died shortly thereafter, his brother William Foster Cockshutt took over as president. He remained until 1888, when another brother, Frank Cockshutt, became president of the company. In 1910, Henry Cockshutt, the youngest of the brothers, took over the leadership of the company. Under his direction, the company was able to obtain financing for acquisitions and expansion.

Since Cockshutt did not have a tractor design of its own yet, in 1929 an arrangement was made to distribute Allis-Chalmers model 20-35 and United tractors (United was a group of Fordson dealer ...

Brantford, Ontario
Brantford ( 2021 population: 104,688) is a city in Ontario, Canada, founded on the Grand River in Southwestern Ontario.
