JCB Fastrac 7270: a six-cylinder diesel of 6,702 cc and 194 kW, a 70 km/h road speed, a 14,000 kg permissible gross weight and suspension on all four wheels for fast road running
JCB is a British manufacturer based in Staffordshire, best known for excavators, wheeled loaders and telescopic handlers. With the Fastrac line, the company launched a type of tractor that combines field pulling power with a chassis built for road speed. The Fastrac 7270 belongs to the Fastrac 7000 line, the most powerful version of that concept.

The six-cylinder diesel engine of 6,702 cc produces 194 kW (260 hp) at 2,200 rpm. The permissible gross weight is 14,000 kg, and the unladen weight with a front weight carrier is 9,185 kg. At a length of 5,720 mm, a wheelbase of 3,050 mm and a width of 2,550 mm, this is a large, heavy tractor.
What defines the Fastrac line is a top speed of 70 km/h, far beyond that of a conventional field tractor. This is made possible by suspension on both the front and rear axles, which keeps the machine stable even at high road speed. That makes the Fastrac 7270 well suited to farms and contractors who need to move trailers or tankers quickly between fields some distance apart.
Buying a used Fastrac 7270 means paying particular attention to the suspension on all four wheels, since dampers and bushings wear faster under heavy road use than on an unsprung field tractor. Given the high performance and substantial gross weight, the turbocharger, intercooler and braking system are worth checking closely. Spare parts are supplied through JCB dealer workshops across Europe.
