JCB’s Fastrac 4000s have been flowing off the production line for over four years now and have made something of a name for themselves, performing both on the road and in the field. Unsurprisingly for a brand new machine, reliability has been a bit of a mixed bag but where there’s decent back-up most owners have stayed loyal.

This month’s long-term test subject is a tractor that really challenged convention when it first appeared at Agritechnica in 2013 — the JCB Fastrac 4000. It took over from the firm’s long-serving 2000-series tractors, a line-up that had seen little alteration or update since it was introduced 15 years earlier.
