Latest JCB tractor is powered up for the job

摘要

The new Fastrac tractor from JCB is designed for tillage work with a new Cummins engine coupled to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Kondinin Group engineer and Farming Ahead writer Tim Andrew previews the JCB Fastrac 8250. This article reviews the best and worst features but does not test performance. With full front and rear suspension and high ground speeds, JCB Fastrac tractors are commonly used for work such as spreading and spraying, where speed and smooth ride are highly desirable. With the latest model producing up to 194 kilowatts of power, the Fastrac 8250 model is now a serious option for tillage and heavy transport work.
