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.
Description and production
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 {{convert|269.5|cuin|cc|adj=on}} 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.{{cite book |editor1-last=Miller |editor1-first=Melissa Carpenter |title=Cockshutt: The Complete Story |date=1999 |publisher=American Society of Agricultural Engineers |isbn=1-892769-07-7 |pages=70-72}}{{cite web |title=Cockshutt 570 |url=https://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/000/6/6/662-cockshutt-570-tests.html|website=TractorData |access-date=21 March 2022}}{{cite book |last1=Pripps |first1=Robert N. |title=The Field Guide to Classic Farm Tractors |date=2020 |publisher=Motor Books |isbn=978-0-7603-6844-2|page= 192}}{{cite book |last1=Swinford |first1=Norm |title=The Proud Heritage of AGCO Tractors |date=1999 |publisher=American Society of Agricultural Engineers |isbn=1-892769-08-5 |page=135}}
