NEW - JCB FASTRAC 4220 - CAN IT FINALLY PERFORM AS GOOD IN THE FIELD AS IT DOES ON THE ROAD??

[@tdolan500]

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

[@Modlendingen]

4260 should be a nice addition to the series :)

[@billupstateny9151]

Agree the 8 series could benefit from 400 hp rating but for Ag field work

[@GeorgeSaunders]

I totally agree, I've thought that for years that they needed a 300hp 4ws tractor, I think it would sell like hot cakes.

[@tdolan500]

@@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.

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 👍🔧🚜

[@performancelink]

@jcb give this man an 8330 test drive I'm a JCB AG engineer and this chap deserves it 👏 great video 📹

[@Max-br4ik]

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

[@whathasxgottodowithit3919.]

Good to see the Fendt running on top

[@nigelh45]

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

[@buschfunktv4764]

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...

[@jackhume4532]

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.

[@carlstevens4981]

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

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.

[@huskykev9037]

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….

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

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!

[@arendhav]

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.

[@TucanoTMK1]

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.

[@JamieM85]

To me they need something like a 6000 series, 280 - 300hp with 4ws, that bridges the gap between the 4000 and 8000 series.

[@GeorgeSaunders]

It's long overdue in my opinion 👍

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.

[@GeorgeSaunders]

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.
