JCB has set a new British speed record for tractors with its high-speed Fastrac tractor.

The tractor reached 103.6mph at England’s Elvington Airfield, with British TV presenter and engineering guru Guy Martin behind the wheel.

The tractor beat the previous 87.27mph record.

A team of JCB engineers has been working on the project to develop the tractor over the past few months.

However, the tractor reaching the speed record is not exactly suitable for fieldwork.

In a statement, JCB says the record-breaking tractor is powered by its 7.2 liter, 6-cylinder DieselMax engine.

Capable of delivering 1,000hp, the Fastrac had been “put on a diet” to shed weight, had its aerodynamics enhanced, and given an upgraded transmission.

However, JCB is no stranger to land speed records.

In 2006, its DieselMax streamliner car set a new diesel land speed record when it reached 350mph on the U.S. Bonneville Salt Flats, using two JCB DieselMax engines. JCB was founded in 1945 and is headquartered in the United Kingdom.
