ENGINE DETAIL

The Cockshutt 1355 tractor is powered by a Fiat 8045 diesel engine, featuring a liquid-cooled, 4-cylinder design with a displacement of 3.1L, ideal for efficient fuel consumption. Its direct injection fuel system and high compression ratio of 17:1 contribute to enhanced power output at a rated RPM of 2400, making it suitable for heavy-duty farm applications. However, the oil and coolant capacities (12qts and 14qts, respectively) necessitate regular maintenance to prevent overheating and ensure optimal performance.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Cockshutt 1355 tractor features an 8-speed standard transmission complemented by a 12-speed creeper gear option, facilitating exceptional control and versatility in various field conditions. The ability to shift into lower speeds allows for precise operations during tasks such as tilling or planting, enhancing productivity. However, the additional complexity of the transmission system may necessitate more maintenance and operator familiarity to optimize performance.

TRANSMISSION 2

The Cockshutt 1355 features a creeper gear system, providing enhanced control for low-speed operations, ideal for tasks such as planting or mowing in tight spaces. With 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, it offers versatility for various field conditions; however, the complexity may challenge operators new to multi-speed tractors. If precision handling is essential, this model excels, but it requires a learning curve to maximize its gear utility.

MECHANICAL

The Cockshutt 1355 features a versatile 4x2 and optional 4x4 MFWD configuration, enhancing traction on varied terrains, but may compromise fuel efficiency in 2WD mode. Its power steering facilitates ease of maneuverability, beneficial for prolonged operations; however, the mechanical band brakes may require regular maintenance for optimal stopping performance. The 8-speed gear transmission provides flexibility for different field conditions, while the 12-speed creeper option is ideal for precision tasks like tilling or planting at low speeds.
