JCB Fastrack with SOUND!

This is the second part of the film of the Fastrack with Joskin tanker you saw yesterday. Filmed coming up the steep drive with full tank - quite a load. He discharges the tank's contents into lagoon (while we chat about silage-making) and then he's off again.
Filmed in Carmarthenshire, Wales, UK.

Thanks Ben. I waited three-quarters of an hour for that sound so I'm glad it's worth it.

Wow! What a sound! Brilliant video Alan!

[@BenLakeLakey]

That's one hell of a sound! Great video.

[@balmesh]

Spot on, Pat! Trouble is - where . . . . .

[@dvolvoman]

Nice one Alan. You wouldn't want to miss a cog coming up there with that load behind you!

[@AlzPembz]

Nice one love that fastrac, theres a contractor by us who has a fastrac and he drives it from Haverfordwest to Hereford quite often..

[@balmesh]

Thank you.

[@MikeyStokes69]

Good video Alan!!The.tank looks huge behind the.jcb!

[@balmesh]

They are definitely a specialised machine. For a lot of road work, though, they must be very useful.

[@balmesh]

Yes, it's very different. More like the old Mercedes Unimog? Made for the road with everything fully road compliant for lorry-type use, but does a useful job in the field as well.

[@balmesh]

Thanks Simon.

[@balmesh]

Thanks Hans. If I didn't comment, then I didn't see your video - I'll go straight after sorting out mine!

[@cameronphillips8760]

Great video, seen the joskin komfort 2 there, shes a beast of a tanker in real life

[@balmesh]

Thanks Cameron.

[@FishplateFilms]

Thanks Alan, yes I do like Unimogs, they were ahead of their time! Cheers Gregg

[@petrbenes8832]

Nice video and great sound

[@balmesh]

Thanks Petr. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@DeModaHairandMakeUp]

I love the dirty tractors 💛

[@balmesh]

+Martine Rodda Nothing wrong with honest dirt!

[@hywelisthebest]

Very much so. A farm near me run two 3230 models, very good on long draws and more productive on jobs like carting stone etc. I do like them, although I don't feel they have a place on every farm. Farm less than a mile away from me has one, an older one like a 165, but he probably has it because he does all his own silage with a forage wagon.

[@balmesh]

No doubt about it, Wayne. You and me, both!

[@fastrac]

Excellent.

[@edvardelnaes3151]

Nice sound!

[@balmesh]

Thanks Hendrik. No, I haven't seen one in Holland.

[@balmesh]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@AgriculturebyHans]

Fantastic sound Alan! The JCB needs all his power to get the tank uphill:) In my place of birth (Uddel, Gelderland) is a farmer with a big fasttrac. He is building a megashed for cows on the first floor and chicken on the second (maybe I can make a video from him later). Did you see my latest Fendt 824 video, taken near Uddel?

[@balmesh]

Yes, makes the JCB look quite tiny!

[@stro1962]

Good film Alan. Beautiful tractor,don't see many of them around here.

[@FishplateFilms]

Nice one Alan!, that sounded pretty tough!, I noticed it actually had coil suspension on the front ?, unusual for a tractor or is the Fast trac a different beast? Cheers Gregg

[@luckes82]

Hi, have you had no problems with the leaking differential gasket and mixed the oil with the hydraulic one because of the safety brake that makes the differential lock come out every time you switch off?

[@balmesh]

Sorry, the tractor isn't mine so I've no idea.

[@luckes82]

ok I'm sorry, thanks anyway for the answer

[@robertjackson9470]

great video send more please

[@balmesh]

+Robert Jackson - More already there. You'll have to search!

[@robertjackson9470]

Thank you

[@CarreiroCruz]

JCB the best sound!!! i love it!!!! XD

[@balmesh]

Thanks Edvard.

[@balmesh]

Can't you get a ride with him? Make a cracking video, that would, and i bet they are steady on the road.

[@EastTexasRailfan]

Am I the only one who noticed the slight power hop

[@hywelisthebest]

aw what a noise :)

[@balmesh]

You approve?

[@balmesh]

Wayne - you old shirker! Why didn't you watch the previous one? That showed you what he did, and I thought you wouldn't want to see it twice!!

[@canvids1]

Ok you see him coming up the hill turning around and next you see him going down the hill!! sorry Alan I think you left something out for us to see. You tell us what he did but you didn't show anything hmmmm

[@balmesh]

No, I reckon you soon miss your breakfast!

[@canvids1]

guess I am getting old LOL

[@brianspencer879]

That’s struggling

[@balmesh]

I didn't get that impression.

[@12Deltic34]

You wanna get it chipped!
