The new 8330 model released this year in Australia builds on the already popular features of the 4000 series; the most obvious changes are the distinctive styling and new Command plus cab.

Underneath the slick styling lies an engine with more power and torque, a new high speed hydrostatic steering system and new tyre options.

The Fastrac 8330 continues to use an 8.4-litre six-cylinder engine but it now meets Euro Stage 4 / US Tier 4 Final emissions standards.

The revised engine specification not only meets emission standards, it delivers more power using a twin turbocharger installation that delivers quick responses when the operator requires increased power.

As the Choice magazine for farmers we field test machinery giving you trusted independent information so you can make purchasing decisions with confidence.
