Powerful Cummins 24 valve QSB series electronic engines provide maximum efficiencyField Speed Control allows the operator to set engine rpm to a desired level. The system is activated and deactivated at the flick of a switch, a useful feature when carrying out headland turns during draft or PTO work.Newly styled hood folds up to the cab for clear access to daily check and service points. Air charged cooling pack folds up and out for more effective cleaning and maintenance.An engine diagnostics system enables the operator or dealer to instantly identify any problem, minimizing downtime.
JCB Smoothshift oil immersed clutch reduces operational effort and is guaranteed against wear for 6000 hours.The three speed powershift transmission allows rapid up or down shifts to be made without the need for the clutch.Autoshift automatically changes the powershift gear ratio in response to engine load. Autoshift modes mean minimal operator effort when towing a trailer, plowing, using the PTO; with a fifth mode able to be tailored to any individual requirements.JCB Selectronic allows pre-selection of the required gear range leaving the operator's hands free for more critical maneuvers.The standard plus pack includes a console mounted gear lever for quicker, easier gear changes.
The four link front suspension features a large single center control arm. Redesigned upper arms have greater clearance around the tires on full lock for an improved turning radius.Anti-sway bars control roll stiffness and improve handling for greater safety.Self-leveling rear suspension compensates for the additional weight of implements while also improving traction. Self-leveling from side to side assists sprayer boom stability, particularly when working on hillsides.Full air over hydraulic ABS braking on all four wheels for safer stopping.
Large, spacious cab has two full size seats for driver and passenger and large glass area for excellent all-round visibility.Standard Plus Pack provides the operator with a console mounted gear lever, electronic spool valves, deluxe cab interior and the option of electronic front linkage for maximum comfort and control.

It includes; engine speed; PTO speed; selected powershift ratio and warning indicators. The system can be configured for either Imperial or metric readings.
Four position spool valves are electronically controlled on machines with the optional Plus Back, providing the operator with precision control at the touch of a switch.Machines also feature time and flow control via a thumbwheel on the spool control pad. Rocker switches enable selectable kick out.An upgraded rear hitch control panel allows straightforward operation of the rear linkage and is backlit for efficient night-time operation.The flow control spool valve provides variable flow control between 2.5 - 21 GPM for accurate speed control of implements.Optional adjustable wheel slip control works in conjunction with a radar sensor which measures true ground speed. It adjusts weight transfer from the implement to the Fastrac for optimum traction.
