JCB FASTRAC 8280

The JCB Fastrac 8280 is a perfect balance of high power, remarkable efficiency, ultimate versatility and industry-leading safety and comfort. That means it really can help you achieve incredible productivity and increase profitability.

The JCB Fastrac is the world’s only draft tractor with all-round suspension. This gives reduced compaction, increased traction with no power hop, greater GPS accuracy and improved operator comfort. It also allows road speeds of up to 70 kph, with ABS truck brakes for safe stopping. .

JCB Fastrac 8280 power and torque is formidable: 279hp (208kW) and 1195Nm respectively, for top productivity. Because the 8.4 litre unit generates all of this at low revs, fuel efficiency is excellent and noise levels are among the lowest on the market. The state-of-the-art V-TRONIC continuously variable transmission allows you to fine tune engine speed for optimum performance or fuel economy.

To cap it all, the JCB Fastrac 8280 has the finest cab in the industry. It’s spacious, quiet, comfortable and packed with technology to aid productivity.

Unrivaled Productivity

The priority for any tractor is maximum productivity and the JCB Fastrac 8280 Fastrac takes that to new levels. JCB’s unique full suspension system provides superlative grip, traction, comfort, ride and safety, right up to a 70 kph top speed.

The productive Stage 3b / Tier 4i AGCO Power engine provides so much power (279hp / 208kW) and torque (1195Nm) that you can achieve more with larger implements, using less fuel over fewer field passes.

The JCB 8280’s V-TRONIC infinitely variable transmission can be manually controlled with the joystick or automated via cruise control settings so it always runs at the optimum level, giving maximum output for minimum input.

Then there’s Activ Traction – another unique JCB Fastrac innovation – which monitors all four wheels and automatically adjusts engine revs to eliminate wheel slip.

Supreme Efficiency

To ensure that you get the most out of every drop of fuel, the JCB Fastrac 8280 is geared for ultimate productivity and efficiency. The innovative Stage 3b / Tier 4i AGCO Power engine uses efficient combustion and SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) to significantly reduce fuel consumption and emissions. There’s still all the high power and torque you need from a heavy draft tractor.

The 8280 uses the latest technology to operate large implements efficiently. GPS, for example, means that this JCB Fastrac can cover a field in the minimum number of passes, slashing input costs by up to 10%. JCB’s Headland Turn Assist (HTA), meanwhile, together with a range of automatic cruise controls, can help get the most from your 8280.

The JCB Fastrac 8280’s full suspension system reduces compaction, which lowers establishment costs even more. It also provides ultimate traction, making the most of every bit of power. That means reduced tyre wear and even more fuel efficiency.

Superior Safety

Because the JCB Fastrac 8280 is an extremely powerful machine, we’ve put some key safety features in place to make sure you and your investment are well-protected.

The 8280’s unique full suspension and chassis structures make for safe handling and control in all conditions, including at higher speeds.

We’ve fitted premium EU truck-standard ABS brakes too. They’re mounted outboard to help cooling, eliminate fade and guard against oil contamination. They’re also quick, simple and cost effective to service.

Even Safer

• Direct link power assisted steering with air over hydraulic braking
• Large glass area (6m²+) and 4-post cab design for great visibility
• 8 front and 6 rear work lights can be operated simultaneously

Minimised Operating Cost

For such a productive tractor, the JCB Fastrac 8280 has very low operating costs. Our fuel-efficient engine minimises consumption, while accurate GPS autosteer makes the most of seed, fertiliser and fuel by covering every centimetre of each field once (and once only).

To make sure you get the most from your 8280, we build it to be reliable and easily serviceable. 20 years of JCB Fastrac expertise manifests itself in ground level daily checks, a fold-out cooling pack and outboard brakes.

Of course the highly versatile nature of the 8280 makes for a sound investment; because it’s smaller, more manoeuvrable, comfier and faster than competitors, you’ll get more year-round use out of it. From haulage to winter service it truly is a specialist all-rounder.

Automotive quality paint processes and component finishes mean your 8280 still looks as good as new after thousands of hours. Coupled with legendary performance, that means healthy residuals.

Efficiencies

e JCB Fastrac 8280 is designed to be highly efficient. The Stage 3b / Tier 4i Sisu engine uses efficient combustion and SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) to significantly reduce fuel consumption and emissions by around 10%. It also means you can use larger implements, covering the field in less passes, minimising compaction and lowering establishment costs. What’s more, GPS technology allows the 8280 to cover a field at up to 40kph with minimal overlap, slashing input costs by up to 10%. Plus the innovative Activ Traction detects wheelslip and adjusts to engine until full traction is regained.
