[@groundworks07]

My 4220 been great, comfy powerful does what I need. The biggest critics I find are unfortunately the people who can’t afford one.

[@claroibre4778]

Allan Hoggarth I know! Pov’s ruin like everything! Let them eat cake. God speed to you Sir and your 4220 may all your cutlery and fine china be vintage.

[@groundworks07]

Mr Sigma don’t be too quick to judge I’m not a farmer and didn’t receive subsidiaries or grant money I work hard and earn plenty and have a good life. I don’t judge anyone and lead a peaceful life the best I can....

[@claroibre4778]

Allan Hoggarth fair play to you, respect ✊🏻 What do you use your 4220 for? Are you in construction 🚧

[@groundworks07]

Clar Oibre construction, landfill, soil recovery, recycling p.e.t lump, and community led regeneration 😉👍 What do you do??

[@claroibre4778]

Allan Hoggarth cool good skills 👍🏻 I work as an analyst, private sector stuff, I mould and repurpose words mainly.

[@goldfire1676]

We have 2 so super great

[@Hesston4860s]

Was a 2 year old one on a job I was at couple weeks ago and the diff blew out in it.

[@eoinreilly083]

Lovely owld job bois

[@chrisfastrakdavies2598]

We have 4220 ourselves and another Fastrak but main Tractors are Fendt and have Claas Arion. The Handlers are J. C. B and harvesters are all Claas. But top machine them Fastrak!

[@leussinkfarms]

Not better then Fendt are they?

[@chrisfastrakdavies2598]

@@leussinkfarms they are a better hauling Tractor in my opinion. Because we haul a lot of bales and have a Bulker for grain hauling they are good on the hauling work but Fendt are better Agri machines.

[@leussinkfarms]

@@chrisfastrakdavies2598 Agreed. Though fastracs do put traction to the ground amazingly. I like them for the speed, big cab, and amazing ride. Thou we just run Fendt. Thanks for the comment!

[@chrisfastrakdavies2598]

@@leussinkfarms no problem I agree with spacious cab and I took the cooler out because I prefer the room then I do need space for food. The Fastrak transmission is next to none when it comes to reaction when you got steep field and heavy load its next to none in my opinion.

[@FarmingBros]

@@chrisfastrakdavies2598 I agree JCB makes a good hauling tractor, but they need to upgrade their monitor, so a guy can use iso bus and GPS on it. I prefer Fendt in the feild

[@oxman7]

Why does everybody call the SISU engine, the Susie engine? Grinds my gears! It's a Finnish word!

[@ignasanchezl]

Same.

[@lordoftherims436]

I thought he said isusu which is japanese i think

[@jascollinscork]

He needs to give it a wash.........😒🤔

[@Bambinohead1]

Powerhose is probably out of order

[@diggerwoolstone]

Lovely tractor but reliability is the biggest worry

[@stando-ob3ty]

Max speed in km/h ???

[@ignasanchezl]

Certified for 60 kmh. But I think there is an upgrade kit with dual steering circuits that unlocks 70 kmh (or basically the tire limit).

[@kevinchristie6320]

If you bought it in Ireland why hasn’t it got Irish plates on it

[@DMJ52]

Kevin Christie Northern Ireland ?

[@Jack--mu3gs]

Kevin Christie probably bought it in England

[@kevinchristie6320]

Russell fasttrac are in Meath

[@claroibre4778]

Derek Jones registered in Shrewsbury England in 2016 and still registered to same keeper in Shrewsbury (not Carlow)

[@fastracman6856]

Russel fastraxx probably bought it from England and then he bought it

[@jackrelihan2352]

Don’t fear the deere

[@gerrykeenan2585]

ok for a couple of years then then then..........

[@rebelcounty2078]

It will all end in tears! 😂

[@seanbrady5026]

Near new and only one beacon working 😕

[@Bambinohead1]

He probably turned off the other one to save the battery

[@gregshearer423]

Bambinohead1 a highly doubt that it ain’t going to be pulling that much power

[@markleigh3]

Did you notice how the external plastics were faded

[@matthewfenton9860]

JCB lights are always shit, same with telehandlers

[@spudz86]

Reliability and isobus, neither available on a 4220 I'm afraid, if your going to rely on that machine to be your only tractor I'd suggest getting a spare and you might b ok!

[@POTTINGERMAN]

john cummins yes I heard there not very reliable and have never been

[@Kt-ro2fm]

And what tractor would you consider reliable

[@Lewis-co7pq]

K t fords

[@chrisharding7203]

If he had a spare then it wouldn't be a one tractor farm.

[@FarmingBros]

Nice ride, good speed but not very reliable I would take a Fendt first

[@gerry6420]

Wouldn’t take 2 of them in place of my Deere.

[@leussinkfarms]

You don't know what you are saying.

[@gerry6420]

Leussink Farms ohh I do....

[@leussinkfarms]

@@gerry6420 Feeling sorry lol

[@gerry6420]

Leussink Farms feel sorry for anyone with a fastrac 😂👍
