Hi,
JCB was founded by Joseph Cyril Bamford in 1945 when the clever innovator from Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, England began manufacturing tilt-type farm wagons using a second-hand welder and war surplus materials. By 1948 JCB employed six and had added hydraulic tilt to the wagons – a foreshadowing of what was to come. Along the way, JCB moved to nearby Rocester and adopted the yellow and black paint theme. 1953 saw the introduction of the first backhoe loader, the JCB Mk I Excavator. By 1996, the 200,000 backhoe milestone was reached. Today, JCB employs over 11,000 and has revenues that exceed $1 billion. The Fastrac subject of this review was the culmination of four years of development and £12 million. Its introduction in 1990 heralded the first genuine full suspension, high-speed draught tractor.
The Fastrac 4000 series consists of three models with a choice of power levels on a single platform size. The 4160 is rated to deliver 160 hp (175 max) and 553 lb-ft torque, the 4190, 189 hp (208 max) and 627 lb-ft torque, and the 4220, 217 hp (235 max) and 700 lb-ft torque. All are AGCO Power 66AWF turbocharged and intercooled 6.6L six-cylinder engines that are EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4) compliant using selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology. Power is put through a two-range CVT transmission that has six modes of operation and a low speed range of 0-19 mph and a high speed range of 0-37 mph.
