At the Agritechnica in autumn 2013, JCB announced the Fastrac 4000 series, which, however, only went into production a year later. In the lineup, it replaced the previous 2000 series. Both the engine and the transmission were from Agco: the engines were Finnish 6.6-liter units, and the gearbox was the ML180 used in the higher end of Fendt’s 700 series. The engines featured urea injection. A speed of 60 km/h was achieved at 1600 rpm. The tractor was built on a separate frame.

There were five different steering modes: 2-wheel steering, 4-wheel steering where the rear wheels turn one degree when the front wheels turn two degrees, a tracking mode in which the front and rear wheels follow the same track, delayed four-wheel steering, and crab steering. With four-wheel steering, the turning circle was as small as 9.8 meters. The suspension was hydropneumatic both front and rear. The brakes were dry disc brakes, with an optional ABS system. Standard features included automatic air conditioning, four-wheel steering, four rear remote valves, and Power Beyond hydraulic connections. The cab was 10% larger than before, called CommandPlus, with a noise level of 68 dB. The windshield was strongly inclined forward.

The iCON models introduced in 2022 featured a completely new and praised user interface, which was a major achievement for a small manufacturer. The armrest integrated a 12-inch ISOBUS monitor. The seat had heating and ventilation, the mirrors had heating, and the cab included a refrigerator. The Smart Transmission Control function maintained the driver-set speed despite load variations.
