could this tractor really do 80kph or is this pie in the fecking sky

fig mclough

i dought it!!! wouldnt like to be the lad trying to stop it

I have a 95 155-65 that could do around 70 kph so its possable they had a 80kph box since then
no problem stopping it as its more akin to a truck than a tractor air brakes suspencion etc. but you would need an acre of ground to turn them not great in tight yard but ideal for road work

Supposedly they could be de-restricted alright.

JCB have tested fastracs at over 75mph!! but they dont let them out to the public like that funnily enough

Cookie_Monster

yes Fastracks are capable of that speed and as such are allowed on Motorways and such.

But iirc you can't us ag diesel in them if rated to go that fast

The first Fast-Tracs to be imported second hand from England could do 80KPH, the machines sold here could only do 70KPH, that was in the early days, but beware the high speed ones had horrendous gearbox problems

My friend, a contractor had an 85kph fastrac.

yeah usually the early ones with the small wheels, i remember doing 52mph with 20tons of potatoes behind, hell of a tool.

Yep, I clocked one doing over 50 m.p.h. a few years back.
