Cockshutt Farm Equipment Limited
was founded in 1877 by James G. Cockshutt, who invented a series of
implements, including the J.G.C. Sulky Plow. The firm designed
tractor-pulled implements and offered a line of American-built tractors.
Ending the U.S. agreement, the company decided to design and build its
own line of tractors and combines. The result of their intensive
development program was the Cockshutt "30" - the first tractor equipped
with live power take-off and a live hydraulic system.
The first "30" was produced in Brantford, Ontario, with production
increasing from 400 units in 1946 to over 17,000 in 1949. Production ceased
in 1956 and the company was sold to U.S. interests in 1962.
