FASTRAC 185-65 - 12 Tractors of Christmas

We love old school but the fairly recently purchased Fastrac has tested us here and there. We won't give up on her though, nothing has beat us yet and she deserves to be the best possible version of herself!
Thanks for watching folks and stay safe!

Class jcb lads nice sound from er

[@SimonKL11]

The yellow ones are great road runners👍😉

[@weecharles_]

Confuses me when folk they they don’t like them. I don’t like driving anything else, bloody brilliant machines. So simply put together aswell

[@kingzyblood]

I got it, Donkeys Custom Baleing the big girls on the big square balers and then the old fastrac on a chaser wagon hauling the bales in.

[@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer]

Don’t move the exhaust, big smiles when changing gear when you are sat in the seat 💨 💨 . Good look with her. 👌. It will pee all over the 4220 for speed on the road.

[@gilliannolan2198]

The jcb is so nice 👍

[@JMFarming]

A very smart tractor gents!

[@modelfarmer8124]

Class video lads

[@FE02KFF]

Another beautifull tractor and these old girls are better with out all the technology that we have now days ☺👍

[@michaelbarry4422]

True by far

[@jeffjefferson3364]

Yea like oil clutches n electrohydraulic powershifts. C'mon man. If you actually use tractors for anything other than hauling slurry or silage all those extra new features are now essential.

[@michaelbarry4422]

Most young teens can't drive a proper clutch tractor all the can do is hit the accelarator and brake

[@FE02KFF]

@@michaelbarry4422 I'm a teenager and I can drive old girls like a David brown 880 and a massey 6180 and a 8130 but I get what you mean

[@michaelbarry4422]

Not saying all of them can't but it's good you can

[@zzirSnipzz1]

Tthe 185 looks awesome tbh it maybe isnt the best but way ahead with comfort

[@bobbywinders9517]

By jaysus lad what a beauty

[@ericklessens4845]

When you do the challenge with the 4755 - 7140 - 8870 en the massey. Please get a fent 824 with is its fots perfect into that slot. And its one of the best met tractors

[@ModelFarmer-ed4ey]

Me dad had a 1135 and it was in the workshop 24u

[@TC-lc3uf]

Be good to even compare it with a another tractor of the time . When they came out nobody could believe the digger/telehandler people made a tractor

[@oconnellsfarm811]

Ya want to hate but be honest ya love it

[@nwhitten7306]

Agree the gearbox is a pig to squeeze out had to do our 3230 cab off to get at it!

[@AmisCorolla]

Do they use same gearbox in 3230? Are they junk? i have been thinking about buying fastrac.

[@davidhall1095]

Sounds like you could have done with a chat with Russel Fastraxx before purchasing.. anyway, hindsight is a great thing. But these boys know their stuff..

[@V8Powwaa]

What a buet

[@e.cfarmphotography1095]

are digger man uses hit to pull his 22 ton digger and it has plenty of power and he used to uses it on a 5 furrow plough no bother I think they are a very good tractor

Is she still in your fleet today ??

[@michaelhealy7964]

Leave the cork plate on it

[@johnclaffey7218]

Any chance of getting a Valtra 8950? I hear they’re a beast on a dyno.

[@zaihami5185]

Beast at The dyno and More beast in The repair shop

[@johnclaffey7218]

@@zaihami5185 a Valtra in a repair shop?? Never heard such an outrageous claim.

[@zaihami5185]

@@johnclaffey7218 they are manufactured 200 km away from me. In My oppinion its one of the most unreliable tractors. Mega and mezzo series are the only reliable ish.

[@Chris-wz4zr]

How is this machine compared to the Mb Trac?

[@Grassmen]

Not to insult any brand but one would almost say. JcB picked up where MB trac left off!

Am I wrong in saying this Fastrac used to bring straw around West Cork.

[@corkfarmer2035]

@@amdvideos3610 ya could be right. Think i saw it around a couple of times with a flatbed on it. She is a fierce yoke though.

[@alanchatfield4271]

Craptor

[@Grassmen]

Harsh lol

[@alanchatfield4271]

@@Grassmen yea I was only playing really, the 5.9 cummins is wonderful,, I got a mate here in the UK that made a fast track out of a lorry tractor unit, it was the body of the fast track but the running gear from the truck, only rear wheel drive with diff lock,, around 400hp, anyway I am sure you probably didn't need to know that lol

[@stephenross1581]

Don’t seem to sure about this one Grassmen Is it a cracktor or a craptor ?, must admit it’s my least favourite of all the tractors you boys have, still every company has a booby prize ☝️
