JCB FASTRAC FIXED - LIKE A NEW TRACTOR

It's been a long time coming, but finally the JCB Fastrac 3170 is all fixed (nearly) and hopefully good for a few more thousand hours.

[@petelamps6055]

I’m glad to see the fleet back to full strength, you looked chuffed to bits 👍

[@user-lg1zt9tf7o]

Lovely to see her again, poor Liz faded away in the background as you pulled off she should be beside you mate ..

[@GeorgeSaunders]

It would have been a long walk to go and fetch it if we hadn't taken the truck!

[@adamhewitt5055]

Oh she sounds an absolute beauty listen to her growling no smoke no poke

[@sandymcghee3328]

Awesome George you will be a happy man she is back 👍👍👍👍

[@markmccabe1978]

Cheshire cat springs to mind - I think he’s pleased

[@landiemark]

Sounds fantastic. It's a good feeling when you get a newly repaired machine back up and running. I've just rebuilt the engine in my old Leyland 384 and the feeling when it fired up and did a day on the flail without fault can't be compared to.

[@stephencrawford1990]

The Fastrac looks great George. Health to drive sir. 😊🚜

[@Scania370]

Brings back memories,I spent thousands of hours in a 3185 and 3190. Spend my time driving Scanias now. Love the vlog, keep up the good work.

[@michaelweatherhead9470]

Thanks for the video George the smile tells it all, happy Farmer ❤❤. Take care of yourself and family and be Blessed ❤️.

[@tommawle8896]

Great vid George. Brings back a lot of memories when I used to beetle round those roads in our two 155-65’s. Forget how narrow the roads were! We used to cart cattle to church farm in Lilley from Maulden with that cattle trailer big John the legend used to own! Nice to see Wandon End and Tea Green too. Saw my godfathers house! (John Humphrey)

[@Pete68T]

Great Thats Made You Happy,No SubSoiling 🙂What your Saying about Spool Valves Proves Electronics Are Not All that Great On Machinery When it gets Older it Costs a Fortune to Keep Working,Bring back Levers on Everything.

[@johnmorgan4017]

Good to see it back in action! My 3185 they discontinued the hydraulic valves. I had to either make seals or soak them in leak stopper to slow down the leaks.

[@Rx37Legacy]

Finally! Good to see her back!

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Good to see her back George!!

[@bobparker3988]

Sounds great George. Well worth waiting for just hope you’ve got deep pockets 😂.

[@raptormassey2217]

Nice one George. Been looking forward to this. She sounds just like mine, but she has 16500hrs. The sound quality settles me, 1st time owning a fastrac and 1st time driving, and I am right there in the cab with you remembering the 5 days of silage this year. I have a short video of it on my channel.

[@russellfastraxx3979]

Great to see you up and running 🚜again George. Looking forward to working with you on these troublesome Bosch Rexroth valves . Myself and Kaylem will certainly get making with plans with you on this one. Perhaps we might also get a chance to meet Mucker and yerself for a few cold "refreshments" 😉once the work is done

[@patmurphy7539]

Cant wait to see it pulling the new trailer full of bales that will test er well,hope you get many trouble free hours of work with it

[@kennethgreen2829]

You don't just look like a cat who found a saucer of cream, you look like one who found a whole jug. And why not, good to see her back and to see you looking so pleased.

[@mattwyatt2375]

Looking and sounding good .just in time for bale cart george.

[@polestar1265]

Finely she's back again 💛🖤💛

[@mrtrusty101]

Is it a problem I’m now watching this for second time George?? 😂😂. Thanks for the injection part too, first time for me to actually see how they work, amazing bit of kit they are. At the start, I had a laugh with you, you’re like many of us, oldish dudes but still bloody young at heart, don’t ever change from that old mate, it’s what keeps us alive, I really mean that. Fk it, I’m going back to the start again to listen to your chuckle of excitement so I can have another chuckle myself. There’s not enough simple shit like having a good old chuckle in life, should be bloody mandatory 🤣😂.. 😊❤❤ cheers, Jase from Australia 💪🏻👍🤘👌👊🏻

[@ginggur17]

Hi George, been away in Florida 3wks, so it’s catch up time, so so good to see the Fazza back. 👍👍🇬🇧

[@christopherdavies752]

Looking good George. I’m considering getting somthing I can make Project but been in and out when weather allows at moment waiting 2 hours to get an hours work done so not had much thinking time and it’s so much easier to just sign that paperwork and having what machine you want dropping off it’s great

[@morrietk]

Yahhhhs! She's back! Whoop whoop!

[@michaellorio9774]

re bonjour George content de voir le jcb re tourne 👍👍

[@memyselfandifarmer]

Christmas comes early! Nice .

[@seeker1432]

She is looking good. A Tractor worth spending out on.

[@bobpaterson1845]

Old fast trac looking sounding an driving like a new one 💪💪 now she just needs some work 💪💪👍

[@svengranzow3702]

Hallo george the fastrac looks good .

[@ianhaggart1438]

Glad you've got your girl back sir... you've been missing her.. 😊. Sure your going to be making full use of her now she is nearly A1. Nifty cameras your using there sir... not your typical action camera . Stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@SaginawGS]

So glad for you. Love you in a jcb at least until you get a deutz 6 series warrior ;)

[@laurencegibbs2753]

I had the same electronic spools on a versatile, they were a nightmare 😂😂😂

[@whathasxgottodowithit3919.]

Looks really good, just needs those rusty mudguard mount bolts changing :-)

[@Massey-Lee]

She looks and sounds mint

[@jamesmcclaren6534]

She’s a Bonny lass now George 👍

[@ronaldlucas5360]

Interesting video

[@Countrystock]

She’s a beauty 😍

[@eamoncummins8419]

Best of luck with her George. Hope there’s another 9k hours trouble free for ya

[@craigdoig9486]

16:10 great content again

[@neilporter3286]

I hate to think what the bill for all that work came to, but it was clear from the look on your face that it was entirely worth it!

[@seanpower773]

Oh yeah the hummin Cummins is back 🎶

[@johnhyde8892]

I take it you will be putting, auto steer wiring in as well.

[@pezaostu5009]

Great to see it back!! Can you fit to 4 spools when the new set up gets fitted?

[@kevinmcginley2970]

Ya dancer , guess who,s back as EMINEM would say 👍🏻🚜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@declanoshaughnessy7733]

Hi George, Declan here great to see your workhorse back she is humming like a bird one quick question when you talk about the hydraulics what output does the hydraulics do on linkage and spools and finally as you say one spool is down due to electronic was she not specced with joystick to work spools or was it electric spools she has best wishes Declan 👍

[@terabyte1695]

George is now a few grand lighter ,but shes back and looking good.😀😀😀😀😀

[@colincampbell3679]

Great George you baby is whole again! I am pleased fr you. Your yellow beast is really for some new farming works. I would like to see someone try turning one like this into a Electric version of the tractor? take out the engine etc. and do a battery powered tractor. Looking at the amount of room in the engine hood area there be the room there for the batteries and the cooling system still could stay as the batteries do need cooling in the summer. I know you like the noise of a normal tractor, But the electric tractor tech will soon take over even farming machines. Just the way it is going Diesel is not good for the health and already tractors are being tested as not only electric battery ones but even robotic controlled no cab no human driver. the farmer just sets the field and the work needed on a laptop and off the tractor goes. You've delighted at how good the auto steering of the tractors have got, So not much now to work out to have robotic ones. even combines too and loaders etc. So you can at least enjoy the old diesel powered ones for now. 🚜

[@grantgilbert2312]

Nice too see her back George 👌 what does she do flat out on the road? Our old 3140 Deere only does 18mph 😂 but pulls amazingly well for a 30yr old tractor.

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Same speed as my old Tw25👍 the Fastrac does 65kmh/40mph👍

[@michaelfarrell8904]

Hey George, you were thinking about changing your electric spools inside your fastrac by Russell fastrac with there own spools. Have they been changed yet, and when would the video of them changing it be out. Keep up the good work George. 👏

[@roba4297]

Who's a happy chap ?

[@Robstew9000]

She’s a honey I them roads well into sandy..

[@jewellers]

Just lovely although it'd help my OCD out if you could swap over the mud guard mounting screws for stainless, thanks

[@jamesmccabe1702]

Thats stupid, you do know there is actually no such thing as OCD? Its just a made up term.

[@WhiskeyGulf71]

I know that you can convert the 12 valve 6BT to 24 valve with the later ISB engine head. Was that ever thought about George ?

[@sitandfish]

Qualifies as Christmas in July. 🎄

[@tommurphy3544]

Did it need all that work if only doing little work

[@ianwright7056]

john worked his magic at olives?

[@noelcahill6707]

It would want to be good uv sunk money into it

[@gerardrhondashouldhavewonk7641]

Well d

[@straightsix9140]

Fastrac is back home .Shes gotta be the best 3170 around !! Look forward to see her blowing another conventional tractor off the road again !!

[@noway3795]

Does antone know if the old manual spools on the 155 and 185 give any bother?

[@GeorgeSaunders]

They shouldn't give any trouble..... there's no electronics involved 👍
