Nuffield 4 / 60 tractor in Hazleton BC
For my video; youtu.be/j3DB6J-viZk,
The 2nd one I have seen in Canada, the other was in Saskatchewan years ago.
A rare tractor in Canada
I wear a Nuffield Cap when attending Show & Shines. It came from NZ so is likely the only one in the Americas
The 4/60 was built from 1961 to 1967 and had a BMC Diesel 28T/TA/TD four cylinder 3.77 liter engine.
producing 57.7 bhp 168 lbf ft @1250 rpm
Transmission was 5 forward and 1 reverse.
Hydrualics 2000psi, 2830 lb lift, Cat 1 & 2 lift

3/42 and 4/60
* 1961-1964
* 3/42 2.8L 3 Cylinder (100mm) 39.2bhp 1. Pedal operated Diff lock std 2. All tractors built at Bathgate in
Scotland from 1962
* 4/60 3.8L 4 cylinder diesel engine. Produced by boring-out the 3.4 litre.
Two new models were given three figure numbers, instead of "three" and "four". Model numbers were introduced to help farmers and dealers instantly recognize the engine size and horsepower of the tractor, the 4/60 had a four cylinder diesel engine which developed 60 bhp at 2,000 rpm. The 3/42 had a 3 cylinder diesel engine which produced 42 bhp at 2,000 rpm.
The two new tractors had improvements to the engines and had hydraulic depth control together with independent hydraulics a new simms injector was fitted with a mechanical governor.
The 4/60 and 3/42 were built at the Morris-Motors factory, Ward End Birmingham, England. Production was later transferred to the B.M.C factory at Bathgate, Scotland.
The Bathgate factory was established in 1961 on about 250 acres of land, just outside Edinburgh. The training center for dealers and service engineers was sited opposite the factory at Mosside Farm, this measured 166 acres. It may be of interest to note that all the pictures for the sales brochures for nuffield tractors show photographs of machines in a farm environment. Either at work plowing etc or in rural settings.
This is due to all machines being photographed in situ at Mosside Farm. In August 1964, the 4/60 and 3/42 were replaced by the 10/60 and the 10/42. The main difference here being the new gearbox which offered ten forward gears and two reverse, as opposed to the old 5 forward 1 reverse. These speeds were obtained as a result of a high / low range gear system operated by two levers. The high and low situated on the left hand side of the gear box. The side pully was dropped in favor of a rear mounted pully, the hydraulic lift was strengthened and the instrument panel redesigned to incorporate a rev counter. "Self energizing" disc brakes were also introduced as a new feature on the ten.
