Your very right George, the new Fastrac looks like a very versatile tractor. For road and plant haulage and great for farm work . A great review George 👍🔧🚜
Feel like they need a higher rated power option in both tractors. A 280 in the 4 series would open it up for triple mower work etc. A 400+ in the 8 would be great for wood chipping and tree clearance work. Both those things would really work well with the excellent road characteristics
@@GeorgeSaunders 300 and a built in tyre inflation system and you have something which would be a strong rival for the new Fendt 728 or New Holland T7 300. Grass contractors would go mad for them.
There's a farmer not far from me with an 8330 Fastrac and its an amazing machine. You didnt see too many older Fastracs here in Canada and most of those were pretty much only used as carting tractors. But JCB is really pushing over here with the new series and I think guys are buying them. But like you said the older ones are really a road machine. Thats why they never caught on over here. People who tried them said they were light on traction in the field, but not the new ones dont seem to have that problem
Good evening George, as always a very informative video about the JCB fast track and how it’s evolved over the years and with all the modern technology to help it on its way forward and until next George, TaRa for a bit.
over the years ive been very lucky enough to drive plenty of fastracs previously for work to , and this one is far the most superior in comfort, build quality and enjoyed the afternoon with you and liz filming this ❤😊
I just love fastracs, think they're amazing. I still love driving the 1135. Still makes me smile, but yeah the 4 series are just amazing tractors. The icon is where it needs to be, when you can get a 65k fendt, or John deere and so on that do 50k. It's all about being good at both. Great video mucka
Hi George,I got a lot experience with a lots of tractor brands,a long time I ve got MB tracs,but they are not really powerfull and coulden t put the Power on the ground,now i ve got MF,but the JCB 4220 ist a reallly amazing tractor,it s perfectly for mixed operations,last time I drove a demo unit,I was very impressed from this tractor,nice greetings from germany...
Hi and good evening George, That do look like one smart Machine George then it should do with the time you put in to it you have every to be Proud of what you have done and as always it’s a great video,🚜🚜🚜👍⭐️⭐️⭐️
They’ve missed a trick with the cab I think, needs a reverse drive option using the xerion vc system and another 50ish hp to make it a real all rounder. Claas have left an opening in the market by making the xerion so big….
Looks a great bit of kit and from someone that doesn't like modern techy tractors l would love to have a go in one of these new Fastrac's. Haven't driven a Fastrac since 2006. The last modern tractor l drove was a CASE Puma 145 and it was as bad as a 2017 Fendt 7 series thing that was like being sat on a bar stool mounted to a kayak going down white water rapids, l hated the thing! Top video George!
It's a nilfisk but I can't remember what model, I was applying a product called snow foam in the video, it's very good at removing dirt and grime with less brushing than normal TFR👍
Hallo george Nice Film from new JCB fastrac. I think for heavy field works is a John deere 8000Serie good he has a good heavy weight to push the plough and more. For easy work is the fastrac a very good machine
I agree I had a 155-65 with big tyres on she would do 40-45 mph was grate on the road lovley thing with not much electrics I don't even have a farm just all ways wanted one
But how do the compare on price with similar power competitors George like the John Deere , The Deutz Fahr and the Fendt are they in the same ball park or way out In the stands
I still don’t think you can beat all round suspension for comfort or on road handling! One day George I’ll have you in a merc and you’ll see the next step up 🤪😁
With recent use of the Flatlift been responsible for a bit of carnage with your other tractors George I wince from behind the sofa when I see it out🤣🤣🤣. By the way how does the Blackcats roundabout get its name???.👍
Hey George. How would you compare 4220 with fendt 724 regarding comfort. You worked in 724 but they have 3 kinds of cab suspension, mehanical, air and 3 point air self leveling.
Hi maxevil, no doubt the Fendt was very good, it was a profi plus so it definitely had the air suspended cab, but it wasn't a patch on the Fastrac comfort wise and indeed the Fastrac did everything the Fendt could do in the field. It really was a good comparison when I was at Henry's.
Nice Tractor,I Have Never Understood Why Farm Tractors Should Be Solid Rear End Not Suspended,This is from somone who started Driving them 42 Years Ago ! I Dont See How Farmers Are Prepaired to pay Massive Prices for a Tractor That is Still Solid Rear End in this day and Age.And They seem impressed that the cab is on Supension. If your buying a New Tractor in 2022 it Should have All round Suspended Axles,Would You buy a New Car with a Solid Rear End ? If JCB Are Making Fast Reliable Fully Suspended Tractors at a Competative Price,Why would Anyone Want to buy Another Make That is still Using Tech From the Past and paying a load of money for it. Buy a British Tractor That is Superior To All the others and be Proud of it.
Cheers Trusty mate, these are limited to 60kmh. The bigger 8000 series can do 70kmh the same as my 3000 series. You could also get versions of my 3000 series that did 80kmh so you heard correct 👍👍👍
@@GeorgeSaunders I probably haven’t mention to you before but I have an old Fergie 35 Gold belly that was given to me some years ago. I plan to get her running and do her up one of these days. She’ll be a “LONG” haha term project a little later but I do have most parts already I bought new while back. Just need to find the time, oh I’m not a farmer, I should’ve been but instead I work at an milk factory, we have dried powder processing plants in Victoria Australia.
@@GeorgeSaunders Me too, it's a great thing. Sometimes old is good. Also the steering wheel in the old 4000 looks better than in the new one but it's individual, someone likes the old better, someone likes the new
Theres a guy near me, he has fastrac , not sure of model but pulls a big excavator on trailer, strange he doesnt use it in the field,they have old David brown and john deeres..
A workhorse that gives you that comfort during a days work is worth it's weight. It's like a L322 Range Rover, once you have owned one, everything else is a disappointment.
I think there is something wrong with me. I'd rather sit in the kitchen on a wooden chair watching tv, than sit in the lounge on the sofa watching tv. I'd rather sit in a 1980 100hp tractor than a 2007 plate equivalent.
Don’t care what anyone says the tractors of today especially fast Rac’s are far to complicated you need a university degree to operate them that’s why I used to help out on a farm ,but not now as todays tractors that’s coming on the market are a no no 😢

4260 should be a nice addition to the series :)
Agree the 8 series could benefit from 400 hp rating but for Ag field work
I totally agree, I've thought that for years that they needed a 300hp 4ws tractor, I think it would sell like hot cakes.

You are right George a tractor of that calibre really needs an exhaust brake that would be the icing on the cake🚜👍

Game changer for me , I sat in the icon cab earlier in year at RHS and it was special 🏴👍🏻🚜
Mighty stuff Liz and George, great review, JCB should have You in the sales show room👌👍🙂
over the years ive been very lucky enough to drive plenty of fastracs previously for work to , and this one is far the most superior in comfort, build quality and enjoyed the afternoon with you and liz filming this ❤😊

Great video George thanks going to add it to the collection 🙂. Take care of yourself and Lizz.
Thanks for the video George,it would be great if you could demo the 8330 one day🚜👍

Nice tractor George how time has changed I remember when fastracs first come out.,,,, 👍🚜
That 4220 I operated for a friend locally on a 16t Bailey this last Potato season was a treat. Not done any tillage with it though.
Brilliant video for a brilliant tractor! 👍
They’ve missed a trick with the cab I think, needs a reverse drive option using the xerion vc system and another 50ish hp to make it a real all rounder. Claas have left an opening in the market by making the xerion so big….
Great Video George! Thanks for sharing
Great review, they sound amazing too 👌🏻🚜💨💨💨
bloody magic george , yep your right therell take some beating eh , great video ol chap regards from essex
They need to bring back the 6 speed manual for road work. A 3230 would push the new ones any day
I totally agree, all the CVT's I've driven start crying when you show them a hill.
Nice tractor , yellow & Black is 👌. Nice tinted windows . The Class Combine, looks nice in the yellow & Black as well ( I think)
Great video thanks George. Now I need to win the lottery so I can buy one for my 6 acre field !
Excellent review George! Always been a JCB fan, and the 4220 certainly ticks all the boxes!
Great video George 🚜🚜
Cheers David 👍

Any news on yours George the new one is great but only a dream yours is a achievable and I am looking forward to seeing it back 🚜👍
16:47 what model of high pressure washer is that? Do you use standard soap or what do you recommend i use?
It's a nilfisk but I can't remember what model, I was applying a product called snow foam in the video, it's very good at removing dirt and grime with less brushing than normal TFR👍
Nice One George Thanks again
Thanks George loved the vid sir... Take care...

George sei sempre il numero 1
great video, next time de Deutz Fahr 7250 testing in the field😉😄
I agree I had a 155-65 with big tyres on she would do 40-45 mph was grate on the road lovley thing with not much electrics I don't even have a farm just all ways wanted one
That looks one hell off a tractor like to have ago I. Going to try and get a demo
would be greate to see you demo the new fendt 700 series and compare the new fastrack to that
But how do the compare on price with similar power competitors George like the John Deere , The Deutz Fahr and the Fendt are they in the same ball park or way out In the stands
Interesting video George 👍 just get the feeling that perhaps you really liked that 4220 🤔😁👍
Maybe just a bit 😂 but no seriously it does feel special to drive 👍
Have you had the chance to use the tractor for more precision work like planting or spraying? I am curious to how the isobus system performs.
You off to midland machinery show ? Awesome video chief.
Cheers buh, unfortunately not🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ your video will be up at the end of the week 👍
@@GeorgeSaunders fantastic
I still don’t think you can beat all round suspension for comfort or on road handling! One day George I’ll have you in a merc and you’ll see the next step up 🤪😁
I'll hold you to that mate!👌👍
@@GeorgeSaunders hopefully it would be mine as well 🤣🤣
To me they need something like a 6000 series, 280 - 300hp with 4ws, that bridges the gap between the 4000 and 8000 series.
It's long overdue in my opinion 👍

Depends if they are more reliable than the old 4220s.
My lovers Fendt and JCB Fastracs !!!
😂😂😂
Theres a guy near me, he has fastrac , not sure of model but pulls a big excavator on trailer, strange he doesnt use it in the field,they have old David brown and john deeres..
re bonjour George encore une très belle vidéo 😍👍👍👍
Certainly the screen was crying out for an update. Think the previous one was made by Fisher Price.
Awesome 🚜👍
Nice chunky old weight on that beast.:)
do you think u would buy the new jcb fastrac ??
Awesome better yet. JCB.
Sounds loud as hell from inside the cab compared to others
Do you own the fastrac or do you have it on demo ?
Fast track is a good tractor as well
what a fab fastrac i stll like new holland
Still the Scraptrac 😉
Can you confirm or not you have Yellow blood ?? this Fastrack is some machine. Thanks again
I think it's a combination of yellow and blue 😂
A workhorse that gives you that comfort during a days work is worth it's weight. It's like a L322 Range Rover, once you have owned one, everything else is a disappointment.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
They are all seriously under tyred when compared to similar weight tractors
Be good if you could compere it against a unmog
Sorry meant unimog

It doesn't seem that long since your could get a tractor for £40k

Go to it George aim hi sell all your toys pay for itself in back injuries alone
