JCB HMV – other models: the collective page of heavy Fastrac-related tractors outside the named ranges, HMV 2135 to HMV 8280 and HMV Fastrack 3155, 123.5 to 164 kW, six-cylinders of 5,883 to 5,985 cm³
This page gathers the heavy JCB tractors the register could not assign to a named range; the model designation HMV Fastrack 3155 shows the kinship with the maker's well-known Fastrac range. JCB, founded in 1945 by Joseph Cyril Bamford in Rocester, Staffordshire, is best known for excavators, wheeled loaders and telehandlers, and since the 1990s has also built high-speed farm tractors with its Fastrac range.

The register lists here 11 versions with 123.5 to 164 kW from six-cylinder engines of 5,883 to 5,985 cm³, unladen weights from 6,740 to 7,590 kg, gross weights from 9,000 to 12,000 kg, lengths from 5,000 to 5,500 mm and widths from 2,450 to 2,550 mm.
Tractors of this weight and power class are big tractors for arable work and transport, where road-worthiness at high speed matters as much as pure drawbar pull – a niche in which JCB's Fastrac technology has been a reference since the 1990s.
Buyers of used units should check the engine and injection system for operating hours, as well as the suspension, which is more elaborate on Fastrac technology than on classic tractors, plus the gearbox, brakes and cab electronics; spares run through the JCB dealer network, though Fastrac-specific parts sometimes take longer to order than standard components.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
