JCB fastrac bale cart

JCB fastrac 3230 carting a load of wheat straw.

[@robbell6672]

its good to see a man who knows what he's doing, slowing it down and taking your time where it needs it, not just going hell for leather flat out thinking "im a driving god" like a lot of these young lads

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Thankyou Rob, nice comment :)

[@OliCM3]

1:13 shit the bed I thought she was going over! Lol love it!

[@davidroche2757]

I can't believe how fast you can drive with such a big load ..... very impressive

[@hywelisthebest]

I find it quite hard to get tractor experience though. My only way so far was through getting a job milking, then i found other people approached me regarding odd tractor jobs but never came to nothing major as the milking was and still is good money...very good actually, I hope straw contractors are willing to take on people that are willing to learn, listen and do good work and not just have had experience in chasing...at the end of the day everybody has done it for the first time.

[@WakoAko114]

Awsome video! Really enjoyed it! I see these set ups go past during summer and pass a load when carting to and from the yard. Another farm i work on have here own chaser behind a MF 6480 it works really well! Im also at College on a level 3 engineering course at Risholme College Lincolnshire! And again awsome video! Cheers Harry!

[@cameronchettle2654]

Still mesmerised by how many views your videos are getting! Keep up the good work mate, waiting to see what's next 😄

[@Catluke96]

The big JCBs got a very nice sound.. nice video, somtimes it looks as when all of the straw would fell down, but its like glued at the trailer :D

[@t.farmer7777]

Im a John Deere fan but my second best tractor has to be JCB Fastrac. They look the part and the do a great job!

[@mattheomabire5585]

ou John deer c est nulle à chier👎👎

[@heavenbeckham6230]

@12:02 What a beautiful house.I love the English countryside.

[@GeorgeSaunders]

There are 52 on board in the video, although i have gone another layer before but its a bit to much for the trailer.

[@AgriculturebyHans]

Great video George! Nice view:)

[@GeorgeSaunders]

cheers :)

[@chvella]

great vid a bit scary as it looked like the cart was about to roll over somtimes

[@TheAudiostud]

George you have a "Big Farm" must take some management Great Work, Well Done!

[@Wesley-931]

TheAudiostud not his farm

[@tjd4982]

At the time of this video he worked for a farm contracting services

[@krismulvihill4893]

Which mode is on.the tractor will change up the gears its self or the driver clicks up through them

[@272TM]

Nice to see a fastrac with a good load doing whats its best at i work for jcb fastrac people need to try the new 4000 series we've set the bar again

[@GeorgeSaunders]

272TM Thankyou very much, i'm very eager to get my hands on a 4000, i had a good look round at Lamma and i was even more impressed with it. Looking forward to getting one on demo and then just the tricky job of persuading the boss that we need one! :)

[@breakingbaz7709]

Well I enjoyed the short drive to the farm. Cheers George

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Hey Hywel, one of the biggest bale contractors i know of is Charlie Rand who is based at Royston, He supplies straw to a local power station and employs about 15 harvest workers, i'm pretty sure he uses chasers and has up to date kit, Good luck with your first year at Harpur, what course are you taking?

[@hywelisthebest]

Cheers. No starting on the 25th. When qualifeided i would like to work for the likes of Deere, AGCO or JCB etc...designing or R&D. Would love to do the harvest work though as would be good to do some 'dash for the cash' in the summer and have always wanted to haul grain / straw up in England.

[@dazedconfuzed6]

God that engine sounds wonderful.

[@GeorgeSaunders]

jeff darnell That it does!

[@scammellman2404]

Lol,I see these flying about all the time here in Norfolk the farm nextdoor has round bales and stores them so you kinda get used to it :)

[@bruxo36br]

Qual a velocidade desta maquina no asfalto? isso é na INglaterra? tanks. Bela maquina !

[@jordankeeps]

sitting in a tractor, just finished spraying thought i might eat some lunch, thinking what to watch then i see this vid :D fantastic vid mate!! loved it, beatiful noise the beast makes. Looking forward to the next one, maybe inside cab next time?

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Yes its not the most stable trailer we've got, however if you drive smoothly and sensibly its fine,

[@tiberian123053]

Really enjoyed the ride along. Reminds me of upstate New york, where i live. My god your roads look narrow, i cant get use to to the right hand drive.

[@johnwandersonagain]

Great video ..It was well worth it putting that one up with the amount of views it got...

[@cristianojosedasilva3428]

Parabéns pelo vídeo, bela paisagem!

[@deano0303]

Nice one George,how much easier it is when the ground is nice and dry!

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Experience is the key, the more different things you can get to do will help you out no end when you leave harper and go full time. After leaving college i spent about seven years milking cows before i decided to go into machinery. Have you started college yet :)

[@hywelisthebest]

Just read about that charlie rand and saw that a load of bales got burnt to the ground earlier this summer, how unfortunate!

[@irishro1]

Nice lean off that dolly!!! Holy shit man I thought she was going to flip. See what you mean about not looking out back window!! HAHAHA. Great vids.

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Yes its in Bedfordshire.

[@Andriod846]

The sports car of tractors!

[@phill6820]

Great video. Can you make another one with some footage looking forward and in the cab. Great job

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Thankyou :)

[@GeorgeSaunders]

cheers Deano! yes i don't suppose the dry weather will last forever though :)

[@jpw1490]

The way that trailer was leaning i think my face would have changed colour

[@jaegerbomb4142]

She’ll go a damn sight further before you need to start worrying

[@arturs6971]

Hi. Does this fastrac model come with a cummins engine? How's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers? With what load? And at what speed?

[@TonyGC616]

That is one really cool video and i love the JCB

[@EnterprisingRailFilms]

My thoughts are the same ;)

[@tractors44]

Nice video, thought you were going over a couple of times.

[@strojnitehniki2296]

It must be difficult to drive, you are master.

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Yes tell me about it! the best thing to do is not look out the back window!

[@papajohngreece]

Excellent video!!

[@cameronchettle2654]

another quality video George

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Hi Jordan, sorry its took so long for the reply its the first early finish i've had for a week ! how is it going, i've got an in cab one coming :) cheers mate.

[@jdotson41041]

George what do you do with the straw bales? Are they used for bedding?

[@Ruaraidhsgrandad]

Does it have air brakes can you compete against road trucks with that outfit without an operators licence how far can you run with that combination is it restricted to a certain radius from the farm?

[@tweeny55]

Of course there are limits such as a maximum range on red diesel,tractors are only supposed to do 20mph ish etc etc but these are not the laws our police choose to enforce.It's easier for them to pick on cars.Plod could spend all day nicking farmers if they chose to-80% of combine header trailers are unbraked therefore illegal

[@dieselrulesKO]

all above is true, however as far as choosing to haul with a tractor, its much ore expensive than a truck on the road, has less power, and is harder to control

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Thanks Anton, yes it is :)

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Thankyou Giannis :)

[@adrienvanheeghe620]

Great video ! Which camera did you use ?

[@cibie01]

Great video love the view

[@richardgeorge8612]

[@gruffuddlloyd627]

I love your vid I won’t to drive everything you have

[@nickdhaenens6890]

[@GeorgeSaunders]

cheers mate

[@gregobrien6912]

Isnt it illegal to tow a bogied trailer on the road behind a tractor in the uk ? I farm in cheshire and always thought it was a grey area

[@Bearcats737]

Holy crap that thing can move

[@GeorgeSaunders]

they don't call them Fastrac's for nothing :)

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Thankyou cibie

[@fredfrederik1765]

How much bales you get on it ? Sorry for my Bad english

[@michaelstevens652]

Damn he's crusing

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Lol, Thats one of the most interesting comments i've had.... Thankyou

[@samspringer7726]

I see even pulling something that big you still get idiots right behind you, don`t they realise you probably can`t see them being that close.

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Cheers mate :)

[@classianer]

good video is this in england?

[@dirkrottger6778]

Sehr interessanter Fahrstil!!

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Its not to bad once you get used to it :)

[@andrewmarlow7303]

How does that trailor not tip over

[@hywelisthebest]

Thanks allot. i found a great site called 4xtrahands which is a great place to find farm/driving work. Just trying to get more experience, hopefully get more at harper. Like I've done slurry tanking, stone carting, bale carting and silage carting but not enough to say that i am 'experienced'...wouldn't want to lie and get caught out. I am doing Agricultural Engineering 5 year Masters course.

[@ZmarnowaneZycie]

43mph that is 69km/h !! awsome

[@peternufc1981]

What weight is on trailer ?

[@northstar1950]

Exactly what sort of licence is needed for driving these on the public highway? What's the max GVW?

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Just a car licence, The gvw is the same as any other tractor on UK roads.

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Haha cheers mate

[@hywelisthebest]

Yep haha. i found with a 16ton silage trailer the lean was freaking me out, I just think to myself its big because its that high up haha. Would love to do either chasing or carting of big bales summer 2014 after my first year at Harper. If you know of any contacts who would be looking for seasonal staff please let me know, it's a dream I wish to fore fill (I am from Pembrokeshire which is dairy county and there is no arable on this sort of scale, need to get away ;) )
