ENGINE DETAIL
The Cockshutt 60 tractor features a 4-cylinder, 2.0 L gasoline engine with a displacement of 120.6 ci, suitable for moderate agricultural tasks. Its oil bath air cleaner ensures effective filtration, which is advantageous for maintaining engine efficiency under dusty conditions. Operating at a rated RPM of 1500, it provides a good balance between power output and fuel efficiency, making it ideal for keeping operating costs low while achieving reliable performance in the field.

COCKSHUTT 60 ENGINE
The Cockshutt 60, equipped with an Oliver 2.0L 4-cylinder gasoline engine, provides a balance of power and efficiency, suitable for light to moderate agricultural tasks. Key advantages include its compact size, which enhances maneuverability in tight spaces, and relatively low operational costs due to gasoline usage. However, challenges may arise from fuel consumption rates and engine longevity compared to diesel counterparts, particularly in heavy-duty applications.

TRANSMISSION
The Cockshutt 60 features a 4-speed unsynchronized gear transmission, which allows for straightforward operation but may pose challenges during gear shifting, particularly under load or at higher speeds. With only one reverse gear, maneuverability in tight spaces can be less efficient compared to tractors with multiple reverse options. This tractor is suited for light to moderate agricultural tasks where simplicity and reliability are prioritized over advanced transmission features.
| Type | unsynchronized gear |
| Gears | 4 forward and 1 reverse |
MECHANICAL
The Cockshutt 60 features a 4x2 2WD chassis which offers simplicity and lower maintenance costs, but may limit traction on uneven terrain. Its manual steering can provide a direct feel, although it requires more effort than power steering, especially in tight maneuvers. The 4-speed unsynchronized transmission allows for basic gear shifting, but operators must be adept at matching engine speeds to avoid grinding, particularly when shifting under load.

COCKSHUTT 60 TIRES
The Cockshutt 60 tractor features 5.00-15 agricultural front tires and 9-32 rear tires, which provide a balance of stability and traction suitable for lighter field work and maneuverability in tight spaces. The rear tire size promotes good flotation and reduced soil compaction, advantageous in row-crop applications. However, the limitation in power and size compared to modern tractors may challenge efficiency in larger scale operations.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Cockshutt 60 tractor, with a weight of 2500 lbs (1134 kg), offers good stability for field operations, but its relatively lightweight might limit its traction in heavier soil conditions. The front tire size of 5.00-15 and rear tire size of 9-32 provides a balance for maneuverability, yet may not offer optimal flotation in wet or muddy situations. For best performance in diverse terrains, consider adding weight or using wider tires to enhance grip and performance.
