JCB stole the show at Cereals with the unveiling its new generation Fastrac 8000 Series tractors, with which the company breaks the 300hp barrier for the first time.
There are two models - the 8280 is a 279hp machine offering1195 Nm of torque and is offered as a direct replacement for the 8250.The Fastrac 8310 is a 306hp machine and comes with 1310 Nm of torque. JCB has broken away from existing engine supplier Cummins with the use of Sisu Stage IIIB/Tier 4i, 8.4 litre engines for the first time, delivering more power and torque and said to offer up to 10% fuel savings.
The new engine is also said to contribute to a considerable reduction in in-cab noise levels – down 5dBA to 68.7 dBA.
Delivered GPS- ready, the new Fastracs have a mechanical steering link to work with Trimble auto steer to minimise overlaps, claimed to increase efficiency by up to 10%
Service access has also been given close attention, with a fold out cooling pack and side panier below the cab to reach all regular maintenance points. A slimmed down chassis for improved visibility has also been strengthened to handle the extra power.
