No, its not the one in the picture. Its a tractor from a company in England called JCB. I guess they figured cars are getting insanely fast(Lotus is getting ready to drop a 1,973hp all electric vehicle) and Honda just made the World’s Fastest lawnmower(150mph Mean Mower) so why not make the World’s Fastest Tractor?! The JCB modded piece of farming equipment hit an average speed of 135.91 mph on two attempts in opposite directions to account for variations in wind and incline. And that’s just the official record—Martin also maxed the Fastrac Two out at a blistering 153.7 mph one way! Quite a bit higher than the tractor’s normal top speed of 41mph! JCB tuned its 7.2-liter diesel engine to crank out 1,000 horsepower and 1,843 pound-feet of torque. The continuously variable transmission was swapped out for a six-speed manual gearbox, and the Fastrac was equipped with a lighter, more aerodynamic cabin. The driver (motorcycle racer-turned-TV documentary host)Guy Martin also holds records for the fastest speed on a gravity-powered snow sled (83.49 mph), the fastest soapbox motorless vehicle (85.61 mph) and highest speed in a “Wall of Death” silodrome (78.15 mph). “I just like going fast,” Martin told Guinness. “If it’s something a bit risky I’m all for it.”
