Suspension and chassis The Fastrac’s unique, vibration-free suspension system increases the efficiency of both operator and implements. Meanwhile, the dynamic axle mounting system ensures implements remain stable and isolated from jolts for higher in-field operating speeds and greater productivity. All Fastracs feature load-compensating, self-levelling rear suspension. The chassis is lowered in relation to the rear axle as weight is applied. Then the ride height corrector valves allow oil flow in, pressurising the hydraulic cylinders and steadily restoring original ride height as well as...

Braking system Fastrac standard braking comes with large external disc brakes on each wheel and air trailer couplings. This safe, controlled, fade-free system benefits from excellent cooling offered by the large external disc brakes. Safety is further improved with air-over hydraulic systems split between front and rear axles. And there’s greater braking power on the front axle for full control even in an emergency stop. Twin calliper brakes are fitted as standard to the 8000 Series and 3000 Series; an extra level of performance developed to provide greater stopping power when working with...

2000 Series transmissions 2000 Series machines all feature the Smoothshift transmission with Selectronic and Autoshift. The Smoothshift system features a multi-plate, oil-immersed wet clutch which requires exceptionally low driver effort, either with the clutch pedal or the Autoshuttle button. With its ability to combine range and direction changes, Selectronic is totally unique to JCB. Speed range is pre-selected by twisting the steering-columnmounted selector lever, while moving the lever forward or backwards selects direction. Actual engagement does not take place until the clutch pedal...
