JCB Fastrac 110-145

At the beginning of 1991, the first JCB Fastracs – the 110 and 130 – were introduced, and already in the summer of 1991, they were replaced by the JCB Fastrac 125 and 145. The Fastrac, primarily designed for road transport, came in two speed versions: 40 km/h and 80 km/h. The faster model featured 24" wheels intended for road use instead of 30" tractor tires. The front axle had coil springs, and the rear had hydro-pneumatic suspension. All wheels were the same size, and the brakes were compressed air-operated dry disc brakes. The steering was power-assisted with ball-nut steering. The engine was a 6.0-liter Perkins 1000 series, turbocharged except for the 110-horsepower version. There were 18+6 gears. The lifting device was equipped with Bosch electro-hydraulics. Both axles had 100% locking differentials. The centrally positioned, air-conditioned cab was said to offer truck-like driving comfort. However, the noise level was quite high. The cab had full-size seats for two. The brochure promised an intercooler-equipped 160-horsepower version coming in 1992, but it apparently was never brought to market. The stated lengths include the front lifting device, except for the 110/130 models.

In the autumn of 1992, the improved Fastrac 125.65 and 145.65 models were introduced. These models featured a new top speed of 65 km/h and a category 3 lifting device. The 125 no longer had a turbocharger. A 540E power take-off was also available. The standard wheels were 30". At this stage, the Fastrac 130 and 150 models, with power ratings matching their model numbers, were on sale in Germany.
