Does anyone have any experience with these machines, what are they like off road, reliability etc?

Thanks all

I know a guy with 1, he tows his 13 tonner with it. He's never had any problems

That is a RAF tow spec. It is a beefed up fastrac. Great on a runway don't know what it would be like off road. It should handle allright.

Are they beefed up or just added to , I guess added to.

However , I have run a couple of Fastracs, the first one had that perkins in , and theyre a bomb proof engine.

Fastracs are really the equivalent of an off road truck and as such need driving like one and servicing like one,if you don't it will come back to bite you.

They need weight on the back offroad in wet conditions,.. with weight on I would put them up against most things.

5/6 k hours and things start to need replacing, although I would imagine ex forces will have good history and these will never have been killed with work.

Just had a quick google and tbh they look quite expensive for their age, and unless you intended keeping a low hours one for a number of years would struggle to recoup.
