Cockshutt Farm Equipment was founded in 1877 by James G. Cockshutt. It was located in Brantford, Ontario, and produced ploughs before adding tractors and other agricultural machines to its line of products. Originally the firm distributed American-made tractors and designed accompanying implements. Eventually, the company ended its US agreement and decided to design and manufacture its own line of tractors. Cockshutt was also one of the first companies to offer intensive training to its vendors. For many years it sold more tractors in Canada and the US than any other company. Cockshutt was bought by Oliver Corporation in 1962.

Fonction

The tractor is a motorized vehicle used to pull and actuate other vehicles or implements that are not power-driven. Tractors are primarily designed for agricultural work: for cultivation, spraying, and harvesting operations. The first tractors, developed in the mid-nineteenth century, were steam-powered and were not very mobile: their main purpose was to power threshers and other equipment. The development of gas-engines in the late 19th century, and their integration into tractors, gave the machines more mobility and flexibility. Robert C. Williams writes in "Fordson, Farmall, and Poppin' Johnny: A history of the farm tractor and its impact on America" (1987) that "Of all the farm implements, the tractor has had the greatest impact on rural life...In one generation between 1920 and 1950, most farms in the United States changed from dependence on draft animals to dependence on mechanical power."

Technique

The Cockshutt 30 was the first Canadian tractor to be tested at the Nebraska Tractor Tests in the United States (test no. 382). With this model, Cockshutt introduced a continuous running power-take-off (PTO) which continued to operate when the clutch was released, an innovation which was soon utilized by many other manufacturers.
