Bruder 03030: JCB Fastrac 3220 Tractor, 1:16 Scale

Released in 2006, this model JCB Fastrac is a long standing servant within the Bruder Agriculture series, offering a steering function and unique design like no other. With that in mind, Bruder were forced to change their current manufacturing process to one that builds this model. Focus of which turned to 4 wheel steering and a centrally located driver's cab.

JCB Fastrac 3220 Tractor

What you get out of standard tractors you'll get much more out of this model, with all the usual functions compatible with the bonus of 4-wheel steering, central driver's cab and a front attaching hitch.

This centre located driver's cab is big, so big in fact it take ups most of the area on the Bruder JCB Fastrac; well all wing mirrors, hazard lights, steps, exhaust and mud guards are present.

4-Wheel Steering with Rod

Bruder had to step up their game designing the Fastrac into a replica 1:16 scale model, due to the complication of the 4 wheel steering that not only controls the front wheels, but simultaneously the back wheels with free rolling action and tread detail.

What you get is fully functional steering that not only works as smoothly as all other models, but now the Bruder 03030 JCB Fastrac 3220 tractor maneuvers far greater than all of them.

Centrally Located Cab

Beautifully balanced toy JCB Fastrac that has an naturally balancing design, with no counter-weight required on the front - this also means the centrally located cab is balanced for child's play.

Well they're in a standing position well walking the Fastrac around, the centre position of the cab will assist in keeping all four wheels on the ground.

Rear Hitch with Front Attachment

Thanks to JCB they've made it easy for Bruder to replicate their own height adjustable rear tow hitch design onto the Fastrac model without complicating things.

Now we have the adjustable tow hitch, there's also the standard front-attachment. Not all Bruder implements can be towed, in fact several can only be connected to a front connecting system as demonstrated on this tractor.

Opening Bonnet

As the driver's cab is more central, this in turn takes up bonnet space which reduces the length significantly, but as its a Bruder JCB Fastrac, we still get that all important opening bonnet.

Short and stumpy, the bonnet opens to reveal a detailed engine which they need to work on whenever the tractors needs repairing or general maintenance.

Replica JCB detail

We can tell this is a JCB agriculture vehicle right off the bat due to the unique yellow finish with bits of black trim around the cab, bonnet and lower half on the chassis.

And where the steps leading to the cab and exhaust sit on most other models, they sit very differently on this one with the smaller exhaust on a slope well the ladder is shorter with fewer steps.
