In 1973 ,the first farm tractor with full-suspension on both of its axles and, separately ,on its hitch and also its 3-point-linkage was the Trantor. tractor from UK.This tractor was simply different to ALL others and on 26th September 1984 Anthony Bamford of JCB ltd drove the Series two Trantor with his Managing Director in one of the passenger seats.Subsequently ,JCB [Wootten farms] bought two of the Series two Trantors and later the Wrexham factory borrowed a Trantor from a local customer. About 14 years later a dozen or so prototypes of the Fastrac were built and it was clear that the Fastrac was designed to plough and was not,therefore a transport-first tractor at all.It was and is a heavy-cultivation -focused farm tractor with a rear suspension system that was similar to the patent taken out by the designer of the Trantor.The design had clearly been created to circumvent the patent that was given to, & signed for, by a JCB executive.
