ENGINE DETAIL

The Cockshutt 1265 is equipped with a robust Fiat 3-cylinder diesel engine, featuring a 2.6L displacement, which offers a balanced torque output suitable for agricultural tasks. Its compression ratio of 17:1 suggests efficient fuel combustion, contributing to enhanced performance at a rated RPM of 2400, though it may demand higher-grade fuel. The oil and coolant capacities (8qts and 13.5qts respectively) indicate adequate lubrication and cooling for extended operation, but regular maintenance must be upheld to prevent overheating and ensure longevity.

COCKSHUTT 1265 ENGINE

The Cockshutt 1265 features a Fiat 2.6L 3-cylinder diesel engine, providing a balance of fuel efficiency and torque for mid-range agricultural tasks. This tractor offers a compact design, which enhances maneuverability in tighter fields but may limit its horsepower output compared to larger models. Maintenance can be a challenge due to the engine's specific parts availability, requiring careful sourcing for optimal performance and durability.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Cockshutt 1265 tractor features a 6-speed partially synchronized transmission paired with a 9-speed creeper gear, which enables precise control at low speeds for tasks such as plowing or cultivating. This dual transmission system offers versatility, allowing operators to effectively manage various field conditions and tractor implements. However, the complexity of maintaining a partially synchronized transmission could pose challenges for less experienced operators.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Cockshutt 1265 features a partially synchronized transmission that allows for smooth gear shifts between specific gears (2-3 and 5-6), enhancing operational efficiency during fieldwork. Its 254mm dry disc clutch provides reliable engagement but may require more maintenance than wet clutches under heavy-duty conditions. With an oil capacity of 18 quarts (17.0L), maintaining proper lubrication is critical for optimal performance and longevity of the transmission system.

TRANSMISSION 2

The Cockshutt 1265 tractor features a 9-forward and 3-reverse gear configuration, facilitating diverse speed control for various agricultural applications. The inclusion of a creeper gear enhances its capability for precision tasks, such as tilling or planting in tight spaces. A potential limitation may be the overall gear ratio, which could affect speed in open fields if high-speed operations are also required.

MECHANICAL

The Cockshutt 1265 tractor features a 4x2 configuration with optional 4x4 MFWD, providing versatility for different terrain conditions. Its planetary final drives offer efficient power transfer, while the mechanical band brakes require proper adjustment for optimal performance and safety. The open operator station prioritizes ease of access and visibility but may lack protection in adverse weather, making it more suitable for dry, moderate climates.

COCKSHUTT 1265 TIRES

The Cockshutt 1265 tractor is available in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, with the 4WD option enhancing traction and stability for diverse agricultural applications, particularly in challenging terrains. The 2WD model's larger rear tires (14.9-28) provide better flotation and load-bearing capacity, making it advantageous for heavy lifting tasks. However, the 4WD model's smaller rear tires (12.4-28) may improve maneuverability and reduce soil compaction, which is essential for sensitive crops.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Cockshutt 1265 tractor features a wheelbase of 75.5 inches, providing stability during operation, especially in hilly terrain. Weighing between 3,710 to 4,300 pounds, it balances power and maneuverability, making it suitable for a variety of agricultural tasks but may present challenges when using on very soft ground due to potential sinking. The combination of 6.00-16 front tires and 13.6-28 rear tires offers good traction but may limit speed and handling in certain conditions, necessitating careful planning for fieldwork.
