ENGINES OVERVIEW
The Cockshutt 1250 features dual engine options: a Fiat 2.3L 4-cylinder diesel that provides enhanced torque and fuel efficiency, ideal for heavy-duty agricultural tasks, and a 1.9L 4-cylinder gasoline engine which may be more cost-effective for lighter duties and offers easier starting in cold conditions. Key considerations include the diesel's greater longevity but potentially higher maintenance costs compared to the gasoline variant. Optimal scenarios involve leveraging the diesel for extended fieldwork and the gasoline for short, occasional use on smaller farms.

ENGINE DETAIL 1
The Cockshutt 1250 features a robust Fiat 4-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine with a displacement of 2.3L, offering a compression ratio of 21.5:1, which can enhance fuel efficiency and torque characteristics at the rated RPM of 2500. The oil bath air cleaner design is advantageous for reducing maintenance frequency under dusty conditions, while a 24-volt starter system provides easier ignition in colder climates. However, the higher oil and coolant capacities (10qts and 11qts, respectively) may necessitate more frequent checks during extended operation, particularly in heavy-duty applications.

ENGINE DETAIL 2
The Cockshutt 1250 features a Fiat 4-cylinder gasoline engine with a modest displacement of 116 ci (1.9L) and a low compression ratio of 7.5:1, which may limit power output but can enhance fuel efficiency and engine longevity. Its oil bath air cleaner design is advantageous for dusty conditions, requiring less frequent servicing compared to paper filters. With a sizeable coolant capacity of 11 quarts, the cooling system is well-equipped for sustained operation, but the 24-volt starter system might necessitate careful attention to battery maintenance to ensure reliable starting.

COCKSHUTT 1250 ENGINES
The Cockshutt 1250 tractor features a robust Fiat 2.3L 4-cylinder diesel engine, offering superior torque for heavy-duty applications, while an alternative Fiat 1.9L 4-cylinder gasoline engine provides a lighter, more responsive option for less demanding tasks. Advantages of the diesel variant include improved fuel efficiency and longevity, though it may present challenges in colder climates due to slower starts compared to gasoline. For users prioritizing lower operating costs with routine agricultural duties, the diesel model is ideal, whereas the gasoline variant suits lighter chores and quicker operational readiness.

TRANSMISSION
The Cockshutt 1250 tractor features a partially synchronized transmission, allowing for smoother shifting between specific gear pairs (2/3 and 5/6), enhancing operational efficiency during varied tasks. With a total of 6 forward and 2 reverse gears, it offers versatility for different agricultural activities, although the limited synchronization could pose challenges during rapid gear changes in demanding situations. The oil capacity of 14 quarts (13.2L) underscores the need for regular maintenance to ensure optimal transmission performance and longevity.

MECHANICAL
The Cockshutt 1250 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which offers simplicity and reduced maintenance but may struggle with traction on uneven terrain. Its mechanical rear differential lock enhances traction in slippery conditions, while the partially synchronized 6-speed transmission allows for smoother shifting than a fully unsynchronized system, albeit with less efficiency in gear changes compared to modern transmissions. The open operator station provides good visibility and airflow but lacks weather protection, making it less suitable for harsh environments.

COCKSHUTT 1250 TIRES
The Cockshutt 1250 tractor features Ag front tires (6.00-16) suitable for enhanced maneuverability on uneven terrain, while its rear tire options (13.6-28 or 14.9-28) provide increased traction and stability for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. The larger rear tires can handle more weight, improving load-carrying capacity, but may also result in narrower turning radius challenges. Overall, this configuration is ideal for multi-purpose farm operations, balancing power with agility.
