Having recently celebrated 25 years of its iconic Fastrac, JCB has also now pulled the wraps off the new 8000 series, to replace the current high horsepower offerings.
Think of the term ‘pocket rocket’ and Aussie songstress Kylie Minogue is probably the first image that comes to mind.
The JCB Fastrac is a little like Vegemite — you either love it or hate it — but it has now been around for 25 years.
It's fitting in a Rugby World Cup year – and with a draw that looks like New Zealand will be somewhere near the end of the tournament – that JCB distributor Landpower has introduced a special version of the 435S-Agri wheeled loader.
It's no surprise to see JCB bring new products to the market, but the recent release of the 1CX-T combines their know-how of back-hoe loaders with the go-anywhere ability of rubber tracks.
Offerings from some of Europe’s leading farm machinery manufacturers, including Claas, Amazone, JCB and Fliegl, will be on display at the Claas Harvest Centre display.
