Introduction

JCB Fastrac 155

The JCB Fastrac 155 is a high-speed agricultural tractor produced between 1993 and 1997. Designed to bridge the gap between field performance and road transport, this four-wheel-drive machine is part of the Fastrac series, known for its unique chassis design and versatility in varied farming operations.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a Perkins 1000-6 T4 liquid-cooled, 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. With a displacement of 6.0 liters, it delivers 168 hp (125.3 kW) at a rated speed of 2400 RPM. The engine produces a maximum torque of 444.0 lb-ft (602.1 Nm) at 1400 RPM, providing consistent pulling power for heavy-duty agricultural tasks.

Transmission and Drivetrain

The transmission system features a synchromesh gearbox with 36 forward and 12 reverse speeds, organized into three ranges. It incorporates an electro-hydraulic two-speed power shift for seamless transitions. Depending on the configuration, the tractor supports design speeds of up to 40, 55, 65, or 75 kph. Traction is managed by a 4x4 drive system assisted by an electro-hydraulic rear differential lock.

Hydraulics and Hitching

The hydraulic system operates at a pressure of 3045 psi (210.0 bar) with a pump flow capacity of 15.85 gpm (60.0 lpm). The rear hitch is a Category III/IIIN type with electronic draft control, capable of lifting 13,230 lbs (6001 kg) at the ends. An optional front hitch is available, offering a lift capacity of 6615 lbs (3000 kg). Independent front and rear PTOs are provided, supporting 540/1000 RPM speeds.

Operator Environment and Dimensions

The machine is equipped with a standard cab featuring integrated air conditioning to ensure operator comfort. The tractor has a wheelbase of 118.5 inches (300 cm) and a ground clearance of 19 inches (48 cm). With a base weight of 14,374 lbs (6520 kg), it is designed for stability during high-speed transport as well as heavy field work.

Conclusion

The JCB Fastrac 155 is a specialized utility tractor engineered for operations requiring both heavy draft capability and rapid road travel. Its robust Perkins powertrain combined with an advanced multi-speed transmission and comprehensive hydraulic system makes it a versatile solution for professional agricultural fleets.
