JCB LAUNCHES HIGH-TECH FASTRAC 6000 SERIES TRACTORS
JCB has launched a new series of its Fastrac high-speed tractor to provide farmers and contractors with a highly productive power unit suited to field and transport tasks.
“The all-new 6000 Series takes the JCB Fastrac into a new power and performance category, meeting the needs of farmers and contractors with outstanding features that create a highly-productive machine with unique capabilities in the field and on the road,” says John Smith, JCB Agriculture Managing Director.
There are two models of the Fastrac 6000, both running on 38in or 34in rims all round and 600mm to 710mm-wide tyres, with selectable two- and multi-mode four-wheel steering as standard, and maximum top speed of 41mph.
With peak power outputs of 284hp from the 6260 and 335hp for the 6300, the newcomers complement the Fastrac 4000 with up to 235hp and the Fastrac 8000 with up to 348hp.
New optional features include a fully-integrated tyre inflation management system providing quick access to optimal field and road pressures, and a satellite guidance installation comprising two receivers for quicker and more precise line acquisition, more accurate tracking over an undulating field surface, and enabling Twin Steer ultra-precision guidance that steers both axles.
