Been staying up river today and amazed , just how long the farmers have been working for since , 7am and still working combining and then turning over the field . Big respect to all the farmers and their workers
That Unimog is impressive. Info on the plan for you as I was tracking it on Flight Radar 24. It was a A400 Atlas transport aircraft used by the RAF. It was just the 1 plane from RAF Brize Norton. It did a couple of circuits at the airport before making out towards the Isle of Man before returing to Brize via the North Wales coast before heading through Snowdonia & mid Wales
We just tried this up a fairly steep hill with no trailers. neck and neck until about 12 mph then the unimog was off into the distance. The fastrac had no chance. As the loaded weight goes up the unimog will open up an way greater lead. The fastrac vario gearbox is not designed for high speed haulage, It is primarily a field gearbox. The unimog uses less fuel to make double the progress and with it's optional hydrostatic box will still mow and bale with no wearing parts. Great system if it is reliable as the rest of the merc products.
More work done and a lot of fun by the look of it. Our local Agric (Honiton) Show today Clear TB test and then all went to show, Nice peaceful day with my dogs. Thanks Olly take care.
Looks like you’ve had a real mixture of weather the last few days there then olly we haven’t had much in the way of rain so far plus the great Dorset steam fair is coming near us at the end of the month so fingers crossed the rain will stay away till after it’s finished
A nice picture of the unimog and the two trailers, I wish we had some of your rain I got zero water in my well and I am even think about if I could get the fire services to give me water.
@@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer I did call the fire service today for water but they could not help. We are so dry here in the southwest of Cornwall, but a local dairy farmer gave me water for my cattle what had no water. You know who your friends are!
I was going to ask what the unimog looks like with 2 trailers and the ot appears 🤣, she looks mint, the only improvement would be higher sides on the unimog itself. Great video
a400m was the plane u saw was proberly doing touch and goes at the local airport they do it at a local one to me a few times a week always interesting to watch
Cracking content on your blog again today Olly - you sure are knocking it out of the park at the moment. Still boiling hot 🥵 and no sign of any rain down in Rochester Kent. By all accounts the forecast is for it to get hotter still next week!!! 🥵🥵🥵🚜. Going to miss the Unimog!!
Love it mate! If i was a bit further south i’d love to come and work for you. 90% today. North West Lake District… P.S. in laws have a house in Frodsham, guess i could crash there in the week 🤔🤔🤷♂️😆
The plane looks like an RAF a400. He wouldn’t have midlanded. They do what’s called a touch and go and keep going round and round doing them to practise landings!! Good video as usual olly, good to finally see how good the volunteer rape done!
Interesting mentioning the increase in interest in response to inflation; you are right. The link between interest rates and inflation is old theory, its just not there in reality, but those in control have to be seen to be doing something. Sometimes things just get more expensive, we either have to get used to it, or find other sources for what we need.
heard you were looking at new shredders and have a jenz on the way have you thought about doppstadt loads of different sizes. blue machinery group for them in this country I think diamant s2000 self driven heziohack track or unimog driven or the big track ones ukfes do some big ones more tree than green waste global recycling to some big tub grinders and drum ones for that matter
the raf are all ways using liverpool airport for touch and go's all so it tactical advantage of being close to Liverpool docks witch is one of 3 places the uks new aircraft carrier's can dock
That mog looks good but would you actually buy it in place of a JCB fastract etc.Can it be used for ploughing, sowing and everything a normal tractor can do.?? Also who is Joe , is he related to you?
Hi Olly, I know the mog has a lot more power than the fastrac, but do you think she'd out pull her?? (this is how I first found your blog, when I put into Google JCB V Matbro) it came up with the fastrac pulling the JD. I know your flat out on harvest buy if it rains would you consider it!?! Great videos by the way 😁
So I am by no means an expert in finance but the two reasons I could give for increasing the interest rates are: To decrease spending pressure within the general economy, yes inflation is to do with Ukraine but if you decrease buying then there will be less likelihood of inflation. The second and more important thing is that the pound is low, so things like gas and petrol are all put against the dollar, if you increase interest rates the pound will look more attractive to investors, they put money in, the pound goes up and petrol and gas prices look in pound terms to go down, if the pound to dollar is 1:122 as it is now and it goes to 1:150 then if you are buying in dollars you are able to buy more for the same amount of pounds and so petrol prices go down. Now this is not to counter the fact that oil and gas and fertiliser firms are not artificially keeping prices high and making record profits Like I say I am not an expert and expect lots of people to educate me on this
Racing the JCB would be better if you change gear at 1500 revs rather than thrashing it over to 2500 revs. no torque or power after 1500 revs.... but i think the unimog would still loose 😂🤙
Typical merc shite gearbox, I drove a 2545 merc actros 44 ton truck, The gearbox is the worst I have even driven, Slow and dimwitted. Sadly the Mog doesn't look any better in that respect.
Thanks for having Chloe and I today, we had a blast. Glad my amateur video also made the cut. See you all soon.
Nice to meet you both I have bonbon dust half way up
My window 🤣🤣🤣
@@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer sorry about that 😂.

That was nice of you to entertain Chloe and Ian

I wonder if it did the mach loop? Some amazing vids on YT of the cargo planes flying through.

There really should be a vintage Mog in the shed to go with the MB. 90% today, West Cork, Ireland.

Great video olly, good to see Ian and chloe riding along . 92%.
That unimog is some beast it was good having Chloe & Ian on the combine feeling 96 % today great video Ollie
No beating the various boxes, so smooth and predicable,
Unimog hauling with 2 trailers 😍 you are smashing the content atm Olly 👌
Love the ‘Mog roadtrain. Definitely the best picture so far.
Looks like you’ve had a real mixture of weather the last few days there then olly we haven’t had much in the way of rain so far plus the great Dorset steam fair is coming near us at the end of the month so fingers crossed the rain will stay away till after it’s finished
Hi, Ian and Chloe x
Hi Brenda
Hi Brenda ❤️
1.71 a litre yesterday in Ontario
Planes will most probably be from the RAF doing training. Excellent video as usual!
A nice picture of the unimog and the two trailers, I wish we had some of your rain I got zero water in my well and I am even think about if I could get the fire services to give me water.
Oh no 🤦♂️
@@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer I did call the fire service today for water but they could not help.
We are so dry here in the southwest of Cornwall, but a local dairy farmer gave me water for my cattle what had no water.
You know who your friends are!
Had to be done 😆 loved the drag race. Glad black beauty is back up & running.
Another great video Olly,95% today,Sams the man for that Unimog,thought I was watching a mercedes promotional film!
Nice One Olly Thanks again
I was going to ask what the unimog looks like with 2 trailers and the ot appears 🤣, she looks mint, the only improvement would be higher sides on the unimog itself.
Great video
I almost went head to head with that Mog on Greensbridge Lane earlier (20.45).... It is an impressive rig for ferrying!
8:14 Those are RAF A400M cargo/transport planes with the capacity to haul 37 metric tons of cargo or up to 128 para troopers
37 ton 😮
Brilliant video olly 😃👍
Great video Olly like the unimog with the 2 trailers on behind don,t think you can beat a fastrack pleased to black beauty back in business.
Loved the rant about the Bank of England because my mortgage will be going up on my buy to let but no bank has increased savings interest rate..
a400m was the plane u saw was proberly doing touch and goes at the local airport they do it at a local one to me a few times a week always interesting to watch
Totally agree about why raising interest rates can possibly help
2:36 my favourite part of this video
Hi Olly, another great video
Idea for the sunflowers 🌻 after watching Devon and Cornwall on C4, harvest seed, press out oil then sell as Olly’s sunflower oil
Brilliant video 👍
Cracking content on your blog again today Olly - you sure are knocking it out of the park at the moment.
Still boiling hot 🥵 and no sign of any rain down in Rochester Kent. By all accounts the forecast is for it to get hotter still next week!!! 🥵🥵🥵🚜. Going to miss the Unimog!!
Wow, under a pound. I thought it was bad in Canada
Consistently great content 👏 95% today 🚜
Hedge cutting date in England and Wales ls 1st of September. Why do you still cut hedges on road side August. Please explain
Highway hazards can be cut anytime so we do road sides in dangerous places
Ha ha loved the drag racing you kids,my wife said that's not health and saftey.!?😁 🤠🇦🇺
Professional drivers in a big empty space 🤷♂️
Too right,that's what I said 🤠🇦🇺
How many tone can your fertiliser spinner hold and would you recommend the one you got
I don't know about tonnage but in the videos where he uses it he always says how good it is and how little has gone wrong with it
Yes and 4 ton of mop 3 of urea
Those type of planes zoom round the UK flying along runways without actually landing. Training supposedly.
Unimog looks awesome with double trailers
Are you able to tow doubles on the road loaded or would it be over weight?
Be over weight
Love it mate! If i was a bit further south i’d love to come and work for you. 90% today. North West Lake District…
P.S. in laws have a house in Frodsham, guess i could crash there in the week 🤔🤔🤷♂️😆
Great video
The plane looks like an RAF a400. He wouldn’t have midlanded. They do what’s called a touch and go and keep going round and round doing them to practise landings!! Good video as usual olly, good to finally see how good the volunteer rape done!
Being from the USA would have thought a C130 and said the same
I think the plane could be the Airbus A400m, the wing is made in filton and the plane could be doing a fly past of the broughton site ?
Oh man i love the Unimog...
Interesting mentioning the increase in interest in response to inflation; you are right. The link between interest rates and inflation is old theory, its just not there in reality, but those in control have to be seen to be doing something.

Unimog looks the muts nuts with two trailers. Fastrac living up to it's name
Will you be testing the unimog with the bailer I think you said the other day it had the PTO and all the right connections
This one doesn’t have pto
Interest rates went up to get some of the money out the system when they were printing money and giving it out in Covid
Does Olly need a Unimog?
Maybe.
Does Olly want a Unimog?
Absolutely.
😁
Did you fill both trailer’s on the unimog to see how it pulls
No
Yr fuel... is that red or normal road diesel ??
heard you were looking at new shredders and have a jenz on the way
have you thought about
doppstadt loads of different sizes. blue machinery group for them in this country I think
diamant s2000 self driven
heziohack track or unimog driven or the big track ones
ukfes do some big ones more tree than green waste
global recycling to some big tub grinders and drum ones for that matter
Your not right 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣all the way from Ireland 🇨🇮🇨🇮
FOR SALE: 2022 Unimog side mirrors, NEVER BEEN USED! 😆 🤣 😂
Contact Olly for more info 😆
Also, comes with approximately 200kg of wheat and nest of rat's and a few following pigeon's!
Brilliant video brilliant guess funny accents though he hadn't she did
Could you do a drag race up the hill with loaded trailer to see which is quickest.
The unimog will walk all over the fastrac.. We tried it.
Aircraft was a Airbus A400M, circuit training.
Fast track rules..nothing about the gearbox!..it's just the best
After hearing the profits posted from the oil companies think the banks are jumping on the bandwagon.
Put some weight on the unimog and put a chain between the unimog and fastrac see who wins
That plane was a RAF a400m atlas transport aircraft
Love the farm
Both are beasts 👍👍👍
Do you find with direct drilling people let thir dogs run free thinking it's a empty field??
Yer
Giant plane is a C17 globe master lll. Probably RAF.
Get that mog bought Olly 😁😁
the raf are all ways using liverpool airport for touch and go's all so it tactical advantage of being close to Liverpool docks witch is one of 3 places the uks new aircraft carrier's can dock
they seem to think by raising interest rates it will bring inflation down how? i dont know
That mog looks good but would you actually buy it in place of a JCB fastract etc.Can it be used for ploughing, sowing and everything a normal tractor can do.?? Also who is Joe , is he related to you?
Neighbour
Fasttrak spanked you Oli. As below the plane was an RAF Airbus A400M doing 'PD's (practice diversions).
Fastrack all day long . Forgot
Your mogs
Proper tractor leads
The way .
It’s the only way 💪💪💪💪
Surely there's only one winner in that drag race
The single biggest problem with the transmission its very slow
Hi Olly, I know the mog has a lot more power than the fastrac, but do you think she'd out pull her?? (this is how I first found your blog, when I put into Google JCB V Matbro) it came up with the fastrac pulling the JD.

As always great video
Hello olly
great video its a shame moggie is going back you to farming what alex higgins was to snoooker the peoples champion
🤣🤣🤣
The BOE are only playing at it. There's financial carnage on the horizon and yes raising rates is only adding to the mess.
I know the unimog goes faster, is more powerful but I just recon the fastrac will be better a all round machine (yes I’m a biased fastrac fanboy)
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Planes are A400 atlas’s
Maze of England? Olly
Boom!
Racing the JCB would be better if you change gear at 1500 revs rather than thrashing it over to 2500 revs. no torque or power after 1500 revs.... but i think the unimog would still loose 😂🤙
🏋️♀️🏁
Evening
936 vs fasttrac
one nil to FASTRAC BRITISH IS BEST
Did you cut that because I asked 😂 ton a acre for nearly NEARLY nothing.
🤣🤣
Typical merc shite gearbox, I drove a 2545 merc actros 44 ton truck, The gearbox is the worst I have even driven, Slow and dimwitted. Sadly the Mog doesn't look any better in that respect.
