JCB
Our engine was sponsored by JCB UK and delivered on 30th of July 2014 in Poelkapelle. It took us a few years time and patience to provide this engine with Radiator, air filter, control, etc. and this with the help of  DAF TH Trucks & Brinkmann & Niemeijer. This powerful diesel engine has 221hp, is very environmentally friendly and in combination with the Hydropumps our replica tank is ready to drive! With thx to Lode Vanbelleghem, Chris Ward, Gareth Davies, Daf Trucks Ieper, Brinkmann & Niemeijer.

 

JCB Dieselmax 672-engine:

 

 

  • State-of-the-art engine control system for optimum performance and fuel efficiency under all operating conditions. Fuel consumption as low as 189 g / kWh.jcb

Danfoss Sauer 90R130 HydroPumps:

Our 2nd and new jcb engine is coupled with 2 pumps from Danfoss Sauer (130cc) and this is sponsored by Hydrauvision. There is a pump for the left and one for the right, each of which is connected to a driving motor at the back of the tank. With the engine running, the pumps build up oil pressure and we can operate the drive motors via a remote control.

Our old and very reliable 6 cylinder Gardner engine had a power of 107 hp, powerful sound, just like the engines of the time! But the engine was unfortunately not strong enough. Later on there were additional problems with the pumps, which forced us to look for a new system.

We are very grateful to Vandaele-Machinery who helped us to drive the tank as a first setup, with parts of an old Jcb crane we have bought in England.

Jcb Fastest Tractor:

The same type of engine was used in 2019 for the fastest traktor in the world! It was been driven by Guy Martin himself, the traktor was for a short time in Belguim, on a agricultural fair in Brussels. Guy Martin has build also a replica Mkiv female tank for a tv show, for more info click here.
