Wouldn't like to hit a hill with that. I had an 8270 on a 20t trailer and it knew when u hit a hill

Always wondered if jcb just built this machine. Or if it was built because it was what farmers had asked for

[@johncodd8660]

its actully all based off MERCEDES-BENZ MB TRAC they bought them out and used there desing and brought it on

[@lordmg2068]

@@johncodd8660 nothing is based on the MB Tracs. JCB just took the Trac concept (Cab in the middle, 4 equal wheels) and made its komplete own product.technically there is nothing from the MBs inside the Fastracs. JCBs concept was always about a high velocity tractor, the MBtracs weren't. But there is a little German manufacturer that really bought the MBs and continued manufacturing. Its called Doppstadt. They got updates, better enginges and newer transmissions and a new cab. Looked really good, a Farmer in my Village (im German) had one of those. And another has a Fastrac 2140. So i can tell you, they are very different.

[@lordmg2068]

JCB decided to build a high velocity tractor in 1986, because of a study. It was saying that tractors doing 70% of their rides on Street

JCB is massive there's agricultural factories all over and then there's like construction factories all over brilliant machines
