Simplify and add lightness: when tractors feel the need for speed
Worlds Fastest Tractor
About
In 2018 the JCB company embarked on a project to set a definitive Guinness World Record for the speed of a tractor over a flying 1 kilometre distance.
This was to be achieved by employing a mix of in-house parts, used on standard machines, and more specialised components sourced externally.
The record was set in 2019 and is a tribute to a synthesis of great British engineering skills and dedicated teamwork, with a group of (mainly) young engineers drawn from several JCB divisions.
A local contractor, Sid Jones of Logic/Magic was pleased to assist with the creation of appropriate firmware for the clutch ECU and this presentation reflects on his efforts and the project overall.
