Britains 42762: JCB 3230 Fastrac Tractor, 1:32 Scale

Its hard to believe this model JCB Fastrac was released way back in 2013, but here it is going strong to this day. This was Britains first JCB Fastrac in the 1:32 scale series, released into the range to offer them a modern, fast moving, high performance tractor - in the toy tractor sense. Back then the cab was not removable, with newer models now with this option.

JCB 3230 Fastrac

If we compare this Britains JCB 3230 Fastrac tractor to similar models in the series, there's only one noticeable difference that separates the two - and that's this model has a far smaller driver's cab.

But as its JCB Fastrac, you still recognise it being a one by the colour alone; more so with a centre mounted cab for stability and balance, with a long bonnet and a wide clearing behind the cab.

Unlike traditional tractors, this JCB has all the same size wheels covered in mud guards. There's also a detailed exhaust that runs up on the right side, radiator detail and wing mirrors.

Non Removable Cab

As an early release, this model JCB Fastrac doesn't have a removable driver's cab. What this means is they don't have added play value when playing tractor repair person.

It also means the 2018 released Britains 43203 Sitting Drivers are not compatible with this tractor, but there is a newer release that will sit the driver's if this is an important feature you require.

But don't let this lack of removable cab discourage you from this model, this centre-mounted driver's cab still bares lots of detail with the seat, steering wheels and dashboard all visible.

Rolling Wheels with Steering

Naturally, your Britains JCB Fastrac should have free-rolling wheels which you get with this one with four identical wheels - with even replica tyre treads.

Real life machines steer from the front and rear axles, but not so with this scale model. Here you only get front controlled active steering.

Well all tyres are covered with mud guards to stop splashing, this should keep there little hands clear from the spinning wheels as they push it along.

Rear Tow Hitch

With Britains farm toy series you only ask for one feature on their tractors, and that's a rear tow hitch compatible with all of their toy farm implements and trailers.

And you'll get that with this beast of a machine scale replica JCB 3230 Fastrac. Simply hook up the tow bar of the implements over the hitch, and lock in place.

The shape of the JCB Fastrac allows for greater accessibility, meaning the hitch is easier to reach and fiddle with than conventional model tractors are restricted somewhat.
