JCB Fastrac '1991–pr.

1986 begins with a top-secret project that will result in yet another iconic JCB machine. Anthony Bamford originally had the idea for a new type of tractor that would feature a higher top speed than conventional models and incorporate elements of truck design, such as suspension. The concept begins development under the codename Project 130.

1987: First high mobility vehicle (HMV) prototypes built to commence a testing, development and user evaluation programme for a tractor with higher speeds for transport operations but also capable of routine field work.

After four years in development and £12 million invested, the world's first genuine high-speed, full-suspension draught tractor, the JCB Fastrac, is launched, revolutionising tractor design.
