Excellent quality video George. The 4270 and bailer sure does look a cool bit of kit and very well presented. It’s great that the weather has finally come good to enable these works to take place! Great stuff.
Dear George, I have been following your progress since the early days. Nice to see your camera self-confidence improve greatly. You are working hard but it pays off in the end. I am sure you are a lovely person, and your family and friends are lucky to have you. Greetings from Croatia
Hi George.. love your farming videos.. So great to see some of the real life farming machines I play on the Farming Simulator 2015 PC game.. I do wrapping of hay bales for silage for my milk cows. I use a mower on a JCB fastrack tractor to cut the grass and then use a tedder to help dry it out. then when the grass has become hay.. I use a New Holland T8.435 for the needed power with the triangle back tracks to pull a New Holland BB1290 Nadal R90 Square Baler to bale up the hay into 4 foot long bales.. the baler is one of the one idea's where you don't need a tractor pulling a windrower to collect the hay in to lines.. the Nadal uses two front mounted small combine header like arms to collect the hay for baling? Then a JCB 8310 tractor will pull the McHale 998 square bale wrapper like in your video here to wrap the hay bales to turn into storage silage.? It is a far nicer and neater way to make silage than the old way of heap & compressing & covering? So cool to see some of the real machines and it shows how well to details and actions of the simulated machines is? BTW.. how long does a wrapped square hay bale take to turn fully into silage?
Great work George fantastic bits of kit you guys have got we’ve just started our silage and hay as well we are pulling behind a new John Deere six string Baylor I picked it up yesterday and also run inside it is on new John Deere forger as you can tell we are big John Deere fans but still love the look of all makes we used to have all vents now only run is John deer’s as the vent tractor kept blowing out and gearboxes went all the time so we made a decision to go with just John deer and it has paid off fantastic keep the great work up
Great to see Silage underway, 1st cut all done and in the clamp up here in sunny North Leicestershire. First you were enjoying some blue power on your birthday and now some action in the yellow beast - you must be a happy chap!
I am always amazed how far farming equipment has come i remeber working on our family farm in vermont with an old super c doing mowing and raking and the h doing crimping and baling with the 2 cylinder wisconsin engine on the baler. 50 lb bales throw them up in truck or on wagon and off to the barn
Nice video George, seems like the swath is slightly too wide for the pick up, your having to run over the grass a little with the jcb and then the baler doesn’t pick it all up. Leaves a lot of material on the field. The fast trac looks great, your a lucky boy 👍.
Nice video as ever George. Good to be out in the field with the smell of fresh cut grass eh! Now, just to let you know. If? you're free and fancy coming it's Carrington May bank holiday. Hopefully make it this year. Would be great to see you and give you a demo of the engine :) I know you would enjoy it, working tractors, as well as the usual at these shows.
Hi George. Some great insightful videos over the past few years from whilst you were at JWBs and now at Henry's! I'm the lad who said hello to you and Kurt this afternoon at the Beds YFC rally up the top of the main ring.
Hey there love the videos cant help but think were copying your set up we got same kit as u useing in this vid lol. Love the fastrak it always wants to give its all when your cruising baleing. We got 724 last year lovely machine to operate.
Great video as always George! Just wondering if you'd tried the JCB's different steering modes with the baler? Would it make it more manoeuvrable on headlands or would it risk getting too close to the drawbar/PTO?
In the first few seconds you can see the drawers of your toolbox sliding in and out on every bump, George. I know you have a strap to stop them, but I think that will all wear itself to buggery, so I would seek to pin them down somehow. Maybe.
Dose anyone have problems with raking silage hay and listeria? Seems like Europeans rake alot and in North America it's all about mergers. Any comments appreciated. Keep up the videos George.
Hi George, are you going to do a video with the ferrets? Loved the video when you took the dogs ratting. Being a country bumpkin myself I understand completely the need to keep the rat population down. Keep up the good work 👍
G’day George. What’s your take on jcb vs Fendt. I know your a jcb man but what’s the pros and cons. Looking at getting a bigger tractor. Upping from the Fendt 716. Pretty well only going to be used doing hay and silage. What would u recon
aussiefendt howdy mate, well obviously the fastrac is faster and far more comfortable than the fendt however the fendts are put together much better than the JCB's the build quality still isn't quite there, but it's not bad by any means. I would probably say if you've got lots of roadwork/distance to travel and good backup from your dealer go with the fastrac, otherwise stick with the fendt. Have you tried a 4220?
George, don't use NTSC format in your camera and render process. Use PAL and you will be have a better quality of video without those little lines in fast moving details. :)
Go and get psychiatric help now to save you going down this path ...... it's a diesel & heavy metal disease that if you get help with now you could be saved from long hours, endless breakdowns, thankless clients, unhelpful Bank Managers and troops of salesmen trying to sell you the next best bit of Machinery on the market that you just have to have, and sends you spiraling further into depths of endless debt. Go find a lovely girl and let her shag you senseless untill you see the light, you will be much more satisfied.
Yeah the suspension wouldn't make it lift up and down like that unless the field was really rough but the wheels don't move up or down meaning it's something to do with running the baler or pto related
Probably just a bit of bounce from the varying power requirements of the baler. The fastracs are suspended at all four corners so any bumps are a bit more obvious. It'll be the same as any other tractor, the nose lifts sometimes with the torque, but this is rhythmic because it's caused by the baler strokes rather than the driver putting his toe down.
Excellent quality video George. The 4270 and bailer sure does look a cool bit of kit and very well presented. It’s great that the weather has finally come good to enable these works to take place! Great stuff.
When the grass grows Mark is happy lol.
love that sound of the PTO getting up to speed really nice George.
Very good video George, great work !!

Started last week in Cheshire. Got the Smurf out on a 14t hauling off a krone 700. Life is great😀👌
Brilliant video George has the pleasure of meeting you at grassland and muck ! You inspired me to make my own TH-cam channel and make videos !
Nice video George, great set up to work with. Just need a coat of yellow on the front linkage frame. 👍
Very nice video George! Nice to get back into the swing of baling and silaging for another year👍🏼

Ohhh, so beautiful.👌👌👌👌
Such grace the fastrac and claas baler have.
Wonderful

Top vid George we have just started silage in Sussex
Really interesting video - good to see the set up process and quality checks from your perspective

Looks like a very slick operation you’ve got going there!
I think the rake is a bit wide as your leaving stripes of grass left each side as you pass with the baler 🤔
Great video!
Beauty with the video George.
Hi George. Some great insightful videos over the past few years from whilst you were at JWBs and now at Henry's! I'm the lad who said hello to you and Kurt this afternoon at the Beds YFC rally up the top of the main ring.
Hi Luke, nice meeting you mate. Glad you’re getting on as you’ve obviously put a lot of effort in to get where you are.
Lord Muck thank you! ☺ Good to meet you too, will keep an eye out for future videos!
Very nice video, the Fastrac looks alot nicer on the baler than the John Deere🙄 very tidy outfit
Love the videos good work
Love the vids 👍👍👍
Farming must go on. Nice vid.
Another great vid George thanks for sharing..
Another good video George

Nice one George 👍🏼👍🏼
like i commented in another video few minutes ago: this looks fun, driving big machines, even though this is something you have to do every year
Still can't believe that you were parked right in front of me~chunk
Good machinery mate and I'm first to watch the video
Sounds sweet on the packer.
Great video as always George! Just wondering if you'd tried the JCB's different steering modes with the baler? Would it make it more manoeuvrable on headlands or would it risk getting too close to the drawbar/PTO?
Hi George not long until hay making season now I’ve got a hay bob and a Tedder to go on my David Brown 990 selectmatic
Great vid keep it up
The Fastrac looks well on the Quadrant! What did you think of Grassland? Saw you filming the Claas Torion on the pit lol.
Pretty good looking equipment could you actually use the TW on that baler sometime
Summer is here! Job's a good'n!! :)
In the first few seconds you can see the drawers of your toolbox sliding in and out on every bump, George. I know you have a strap to stop them, but I think that will all wear itself to buggery, so I would seek to pin them down somehow. Maybe.
Love it.
The camera on the back of the baler, does it stay on there or do you sometimes switch it to other implements ?
What type/brand is it ?
great video George, wish i could work with you
How many hours had the 724 that you said had quite a few? Haven't seen many of them with much hours
Need a lock on the toolbox George
I already am a young farmer. Berkhampstead junior young farmers
Great video subbed your channel 👌
Same
Is the turn circle good on the fastrac when 4 wheel drive is on?
I bet your old fendt didn't have as many as our old lass, nearly 18000 hours and still going strong!
Luke Knott which Fendt and did the Vario box not fail
British Agri Videos Is a W reg 1st gen 716 and no I don't believe so.
Luke Knott ok nice certainly earned her keep
British Agri Videos Aye she sure does, still used daily.
Just curious about what is your average speed while bailing?
Dose anyone have problems with raking silage hay and listeria? Seems like Europeans rake alot and in North America it's all about mergers. Any comments appreciated. Keep up the videos George.
Looks like rake needs to be set a tad lower,
Outside rounds looked like it could have been a bit better
What are the mounts you did a review on called the rock mounts or along these lines .
Can you attach any hydraulics on that joystick. For me it would seem really slugish to use snowplow or loader just from those switches.
Hi George, are you going to do a video with the ferrets? Loved the video when you took the dogs ratting. Being a country bumpkin myself I understand completely the need to keep the rat population down. Keep up the good work 👍
👍👍 Cool
Is that alfalfa or just ordinary grass couldn’t exactly tell without being there to look
What kind of grass is that
G’day George.

Can do tour new machines mate plz
Super Nice Video greetings Marko
Silage season open, but my cow is in a farm, grass is not enough
You square bale silage?🤔
I would love to work on a farm
do you own that tractor or does this one belong to the farm i know you own the old ford
nice
Is the 4220 fasttrack your tractor or is it owned by your employer?
Mining Master L870c owned by his boss
Mining Master L870c he works for henry saunders now. He left jb
Id love to run that setup in our hay fields with 7000kg /ha dry hay.
Could we have a vid of the rapper also if pos
One day I want to be a contractor, do you have any tips?
joe hogg do the jobs other people don’t want to do
Go and get psychiatric help now to save you going down this path ...... it's a diesel & heavy metal disease that if you get help with now you could be saved from long hours, endless breakdowns, thankless clients, unhelpful Bank Managers and troops of salesmen trying to sell you the next best bit of Machinery on the market that you just have to have, and sends you spiraling further into depths of endless debt.

I want to a contractor as well
@@chrisreid5620 this is the best advice I have found on utube to date. Now to find that lovely girl. ...!
Do farmers pay house rent?
Looking a bit thin there, nice vid though
Wouldn't be a big fan of that man on the rake. Leaving a lot of grass on the ground there.
Why do you wrap your Bells
no round bales
Ooow slow mo lol
Hii
George you ned ridgid loc for your front toll box on front hidraulic lok your video fotage and you see moving of tray
Leaving too much grass on the floor.
How old are well iI think you are about 30
You would really be at home here in Ohio
There no lollypops on that baler
The roads are too narrow then you get cars parked on the road.
I know your English but is this English because I can’t see any number plates.
Jack Beames yes this England
Jack Beames g
Personally George I prefer you on your own videos.
He’s good on his own but far more entertaining when he’s doing stuff with others.
Get a Fusion half d boloxing
See in the first 10 20 seconds why does the front of the JCB keep lifting up and down
Yeah the suspension wouldn't make it lift up and down like that unless the field was really rough but the wheels don't move up or down meaning it's something to do with running the baler or pto related
Probably just a bit of bounce from the varying power requirements of the baler. The fastracs are suspended at all four corners so any bumps are a bit more obvious.
It'll be the same as any other tractor, the nose lifts sometimes with the torque, but this is rhythmic because it's caused by the baler strokes rather than the driver putting his toe down.
Joe has it - it’s to do with the torque pull as the baler stroke goes in and out, you can actually hear it in time with the surge.
Sorry george mate but everytime u said bale sounded like u were saying bowel
Do you watch my contracting videos
Why has the operator got out the seat and left the pto in gear. No wonder there is as many accidents in farming!!!!!
He didnt it was momentom that kept it going thats why he put the flywheel brake on
I'm 😵
