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.
