Enduringly popular since it was first built in 1991, it's been continually developed for more than 30 years - and is trusted by farmers the world over. The JCB Fastrac is unique in the way it offers all-round advanced suspension for unrivalled comfort and improved tractive performance.

Yes, but not only heated, the Fastrac now has an option for a leather trimmed, heated and ventilated seat.

The JCB Fastrac iCON offers level 2 ISOBUS which includes features such as Universal Terminal (UT), the ability to assign ISOBUS functions to the joysticks (AUX-N) and basic task control (TC-BAS). Section and rate control can also be unlocked.

• 76 mm diameter centre pin with hardened steel bushings for outstanding strength.  
• Tilt indicator that is easily viewed from the operator's seat.  
• Long-term durability with reversible bolt-on steel cutting edge, high carbon replaceable steel skid shoe and heavy-duty cast moldboard.
