The Cockshutt 570 row-crop tractor was built by the Cockshutt Plow Company, from 1958 to 1960. It succeeded the Cockshutt 50 heavy tractor in the Cockshutt product line, and was capable of pulling five plows. The new tractor was restyled in accordance with the trend toward squared-off lines, compared to earlier Cockshutt offerings.
The Cockshutt 570 succeeded the Cockshutt 50 as a heavy row-crop tractor. In accordance with industry trends of the early 1960s, the 570 was styled with squared-off lines by industrial designer Raymond Loewy. The 570 was powered by a Hercules Engine Company 269.5cuin six-cylinder diesel engine with a six-speed transmission. The 570 could be ordered with adjustable wide front wheels, narrow wheels and fixed wide front wheels.[1] [2] [3] [4]
3,100 Cockshutt 570s were built at Cockshutt's Brantford, Ontario plant from 1958 to 1961.[5] Base price in 1958 was CA$3,670, and with options could exceed CA$4,500. [6]
The Cockshutt 570 Super was introduced in 1961 with a 339cuin Hercules diesel engine that substantially increased performance. [1] [7]
1,680 570 Supers were built at Brantford in 1961 and 1962.[8] The 570 was the last Cockshutt-built tractor.[1]
Three prototypes of an even larger tractor, the 100hp 580 were built in 1961, just before Cockshutt was taken over by the White Motor Company, using a 354cuin six-cylinder Perkins diesel. One example has been preserved and restored by Andy Appelfeller.[1] [9]
