JCB Fastrac Wash. What MODS and Tyres???

[@LD-jk1qy]

She will look mint when she's had all the little jobs done 💪

[@bishop3rd981]

Nice to see farmers that take pride in thier equipment, good job george

[@PA3456]

What a great weekend of uploads between George and LM and other favs of mine. Mrs is going mad I’m getting nothing done around the house 🤦🏻‍♂️😂😂

[@kennethchampion1391]

Nice to see someone who cares about their equipment,silver rims,road king tyres,would be nice,From Canada

[@nicksavage5527]

Nokian tyres for sure.Got them fitted to my Kubota 8560 and very pleased with them.

[@MrBusdriver63]

Bridgestone , George. I agree with you regarding loud exhaust, excessive noise is VERY tiring, I use to drive a Kenworth with a 8 V 71N Detroit after 12 hours in that P O S it was a LONG day.

[@roberthiggins6401]

Gotta be your choice George depending on what she's going to do, particularly if you're intending on ploughing a fair bit but I guess the road style tyres would be OK for that unless it's very wet in which case you wouldn't use her anyway.

[@Matevz96]

Personally I would go with Nokians, I have 2135 with Nokian TRI2 and they ae perfect for the road. Groundking should be more reasonable tire for mixed use.

[@rolnics]

Check out Grassmen, their custom Fastrac has Nokian Groundking on it, admittedly they have blacked out rims, but the Nokian look good and they seemed impressed with road and field work with them on.

[@benbright5382]

Was actually writing that exact comment when I saw your one. 👍

[@Mr.M1STER]

I'm looking forward to seeing the bits and pieces getting done to the fastrac. I agree with you, the wheels alone being painted will massively improve the look of the tractor.

[@RCUKScaleModels]

great videos always George as for the tires I like a Nokia that's what I would do

[@moffat5914]

just discovered your channel, never even thought famers would mod their tractors with straightpipes etc makes me wanty drive tractors even more now.

[@Benj7810]

Mods: We normally cover the spool valve with a rubber cover to help stop water getting into the electrics, the 3230 Cummings ptronic lamp brackets would look well like you was talking about with (UTV lighting) led headlights 👌🏻, new sticker on the back cab panel with the newer white JCB logo, stainless steel bolts in the mudguards with big Body washers to stop them pulling through. Would keep the original exhaust and nokian ground king tyres we have lots of wafer weights at JH Milnes LTD if you are interested

[@michaelsinn2992]

George seeing the milk tanker turn up would be a good vid seeing milk from cow to tanker, it will bring back memories of my early years watching my grandad, loved the fastrac topic Bridgestone are hard wearing that is all my cousin would use on his digger, better on roadwork.

[@iwanhowatson4232]

Looking forward to seeing the progress on this! Bridgestones get my vote! Probably cheaper as well! Keep the videos coming, by far my favourite you tuber by miles!!!

[@jimmybroom]

Great video George. Road bib’s get my vote as long as they have an acceptable off road performance.

[@sandymcghee3328]

Great video George it will look awesome when you have all the jobs done 🚜🚜👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🇬🇧👌👌👩‍🌾👩‍🌾

[@fenlandrob6203]

Looking great George and will be lovely looking when you get them wheels and tyres done! I really like the sound of the TW with the st8 pipe on it but!! That Cummins sounds great to I would leave the exhaust as is. Fenland Rob

[@uppsalahazzemarkstedt2759]

I've only good experiences of the Nokian Tractor tyres here in Sweden. The (newer) Nokian Ground King is perfect for almost all duties on and off road and rated 65 kph+. Very little vibrations and sturdy even in forest. Only the Nokian Hakkapeliitta is better for road duty in real winter conditions so get two sets for your "English snow catastrophes", George! Snowplowing with 4 m butterfly blade with hydraulic snow stop at blade end and 4 m highlifting side wing and a Easygrader ice ripper blade underneath at 70 kph is easy in a Fastrack!

[@martincourtney4147]

I think you should put the Bridgestones on it... They are a lovely tyre on the road and in the field...

[@markyboy545]

Bridgestone I vote love to see her doing some field work hear that power 💪👍

[@andyellis307]

Never even sat in a fast trac George so cant give an account of them really depending on what work you are going to do with her ploughing needs plenty of grip tanker work not so much. Think I would go for conventional tread tyres I know. Great vid mate

[@obfarming6224]

Good vid George I think Bridgestone would look mint on her 👌👌👌

[@randomgoose]

Why isn't JCB sponsoring or gifting the b'jesus out of this? This is pure adoration of their product! At least they could gift the decals.

[@johndeere1951a]

Agreed A company like JCB should protect it's trade mark, brand name. While SAAB was still alive here in the US🇺🇲, if a car was in the dealership for service, you were to automatically replace the faded/missing SAAB hood/trunk badges no charge . Life time badge warranty. Corporate 🇸🇪 pride👍. Give the dealer a call, tell them about all the air time advertising and good will it will generate.

[@jamieskehan4945]

Go for the Bridgestone

[@DavidThomas-qu8mh]

You can never beat the sound of a Cummins engine, especially a first generation 5.9. By the way, I would go for the Bridgestone tyres all day long.

[@polestar1265]

Bridgestone. When she finished with all paint better then new 😊

[@stevbrkr]

Fantastic bit of kit. A long way from my Fordson Super Major based County Super 6.

[@vincentwalker7134]

Labour of love George.. The vx gets my vote...👍👍👍

[@DonegalTDI]

That's going to be the coolest Factrac in the Kingdom. You'll get there!

[@davidcorlett3266]

Look forward to seeing the vids of it being done up good and handy that you can do most of it your self 👍🇮🇲

[@theghostofcornpop4175]

Hundred percent go for the road bibs George , she will mainly be doing road work and your ground is flat also so yea deffo the road bibs 👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌

[@jamesmcclaren6534]

Tidy mate I personally liked the look of those Michelin’s 👍

[@mididash]

hello George , gotta be Bridgestone , i dont think the others will look right some how , although its how they work that matters ,great vid George , thank you

[@henrybarbour289]

Love to see the road king.

[@BigGuyAl007]

Good videos George as always 👍 Road tyres is a must I think. Due to the accident in Dorset this last week with a 🚜 carting grass. Rear type went and over she went ! Hot tyres maybe !

[@willtidy1138]

I'd highly recommend BKT tyres, you even see some of the new fastracs on BKT so can't be to bad, and would be cheaper than Bridgestone I'd think.

[@jonnycsuperplumb765]

Get the side steps blasted when you get the wheels blasted, that will really start to tidy her up. Stick with traditional tread pattern tyre..the Bridgestones 👍🏻. Great vid

[@nicktasker1738]

Nokian I’ve been told are really good 👍

[@ronniehoyle9671]

Good video 👍 As for the tyres I've not enough experience to pas judgement on them, all I do know is that they'll need to be speed rated and be able to bring your Fastrac to a standstill safely.

[@jamesmackie6959]

I think the black rims would look stunning .

[@krisshutler]

Bridgestone tires I vote. New mirrors with chrome guards with JCB sticker on them

[@owencrouch3899]

Nokians for me George for the amount of road work you’ll be doing would suit it as you’ve got the tw for heavy field work 👍

[@272TM]

Good video ode lad , Bridgestone tyres but personally bkt you get the best bang for buck , last long and a reasonable price , front linkage you will struggle as back then you couldn't swap the front end , it was a front linkage chassis or a standard front weight chassis , unless you get the plasma cutter out and the welder and t into a slice , the ecu will have to be told to have linkage to use the button and a potentiometer fitted set the height and lower level , it will be easier to retrofit a linkage 👍

[@MarkLloyd72]

Hi George enjoyable vid as ever as for the tyres I'd go with the Bridgestone's in my humble opinion they would look good with the silver rims especially if you are staying in keeping with the time period the tractor was built mate.

[@raven_hawk_1736]

Road king tyres look awesome on the JCB

[@HughzieTube]

Them Road Kings would give it a bit of mean look. Be interesting to see if there was any performance changes.

[@thomassteadman6781]

great video George that fastrac will look smart when you get them jobs done on it the type of tire i would go for would be Bridgestone vx

[@vomlande9112]

The Nokians are great with the Focus at road and gras

[@ianhaggart1438]

Mmm 🤔 silver paint always looks cleaner when the muck gets flying. Tyres go the more road biased that's what it does best and stopping it is important to 😜. Glad it's your choices I would still be driving it on test runs 😉😁😉. Stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 👌 👍

[@trevorjarvis3021]

Three vids this week George that’s great!! Just like old times seeing you in the Fastrac. Pleased your keeping the silver rims as original. As far as tyres… it’s your tractor, you know what your going to be using it for, it’s your choice. I think the “roadking” tyres would look really cool but are they as good on the ground or for ploughing? …. It’s still a fantastic machine I’d love it as much as I know you do!! “Reverse would help!!” 😂😂😂

[@hsagri69]

Looking forward to watching you get her up to your standard. Have u considered powder coating for the rims and removable black bits. Would be a more durable finish

[@anthonynichols5053]

I would definitely stick with the Bridgestone VX Tire they are an all-around good tire road and off road you will definitely get a lot more road noise with the Road Kings

[@kevinmcginley9092]

Defo Bridgestone all day long . Great vid & it’s ace to have a project . Surprising how the small jobs take time . Looks like liz is getting a front linkage for Xmas HAHA - magic 👍🏻🚜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@carrick2494]

I don't know enough about tyres to say but whatever you're going to be using this JCB Fastrac mostly for might have an influence in your final decision. Great vid as always TA TA.

[@snorkwilkins9399]

Great video George, I like the Nokian tyres

[@laytonphillips6667]

Great video george, Bridgestone tyres. Liz will enjoy corn cart on it.

[@Jelly66Belly]

Definitely the Bridgestones 👍🏼

[@samsavill3373]

Looking good George, 100% go Bridgestone tyres or BTK, have a look on eBay for a front linkage there was a few on there a couple of weeks ago

[@alex5983]

Brilliant video George, thank you 👍

[@benbright5382]

Think she would look classy with the silver rims as normal George. Does sound nice though .

[@kendal5210]

Loving the vids as always, what a weekend it has been!

[@gunton21]

Looking lovely George 👍

[@jakobklingvall4559]

Looking forward to see the upgrades for the fastrac, is it possible that you can find a sort of sport exhaust so you just get a little bit more growl from that cummins. Not a straight thru but just a little more than the original sound 😉😊

[@ianbrown6916]

Go for the Bridgestone tyres as it will make it look right

[@johnkeets6179]

All i would say about the tyres is get the one's that will give you a lot of grip on all types of surfaces and the other one is it has to last and be strong.

[@Pete68T]

George Yellow Rims And Nokian Tyres Will Look the Best,Silver Shows Rusting too Soon and is Boring 😊 Can you do some more Ploughing Vids Showing From Marking Out and How to set up a Fastrac for ploughing

[@bobpaterson1845]

Good video George 👍 tyre choice just a personal old school opinion it's a tractor so gotta be the Bridgestone 💪😂👍

[@jay-kq8of]

Great vid George she will look the dogs doo dahs when sorted

[@christopherrolfe4543]

Great to see out and about nice tractor

[@user-rw2um8ro2p]

Great video George Bridgestone look far better a lad beside me has them roadtyres on a fendt 939 just don’t look right

[@patkelly7999]

Good stuff George, You are turning her into your own gradually, nice, tyres, if You intend a lot of road work, the Nokians would probably be the best:):)

[@charleshart6992]

Bridgestone! Great video update

[@tommybacklund3718]

Nokian RoadKing for sure ✌

[@kevinwillis9126]

Enjoyed the vid George thanks.. Take care sir..

[@DonegalTDI]

From what I hear George, VREDESTEIN are seriously long lasting tyre for road and field.

[@trev0867]

Have a gander around for an old Dennis or Merc Econic, really popular as a bin lorry and they have similar mirrors with a seperate wide angle mirror

[@jackhume4532]

Good evening George, just seen your recent vid and it just seems like 👍 a whole bunch of decisions to be made, especially about the tyres however as this JCB fast track is yours, I just cannot say what you should choose tyre wise because at the end of the day it is primarily tour decision and it’s yours alone, however the upgrading to LED lights I think is a very cool 😎 idea 💡 and would suit your model of fast track just right and until next time George TaRa for a bit.

[@markybo01]

Tint the windows on it they look really good on them

[@gmartin8240]

George fit the Bridgestones , once you get through all the jobs the JCB will be better and improved 👍🔩

[@jonathonknight9275]

Will look spot on when it’s done👌better get plenty of O/T in😂👍

[@owensfarminglife-3626]

George can you do a video with John the legend we havent seen him in ages need more of his wise words 👍

[@jackwaterman996]

With the tyres depends on how much road to field work your doing if it’s more road then field the Nokia’s but if it’s more 50-50 or more towards the field side I’d go Bridgestone

[@ethanroberts8404]

Great vid once again George definitely vx tires, Ta ta

[@jbss7382]

@George Saunders, Hello George, just wondering if I can ask a personal question? I drove early fastracks in the military (RAF) and love em! They used for towing Jaguar fighters! The question is, how much cash did You splash for the 8 thousand hours Fast track? I’m asking as I have in my spare hobby time a small firewood business; “Lobalogon the fire, wood and tree services.” I’m after a JCB early model that’ll tow a trailer and run a processor. Many thanks and PM if you don’t want To publicly say😜 Jonathan

[@officialsked]

naaaawww needs a spinny spin beacon bar. spot on looking machine tho

[@svengranzow3702]

Hallo george the brigdestone is Better for field the nokian in Transport baling and greenland. The washing fastrac looks good

[@TWJW]

Nokians look great depends what you want to do with it. Russell fastrax also so a mod for the electronic spools as well saw in on the one @farmerphil had on demo.

[@carlgrimwood8318]

Not so much a mod but a stainless pipe from the manifold to the silencer … they’re prone to rotting… then the rest tart it up with paint and polish

[@michaelweatherhead9470]

Going to have the hazmat crew clean up the ground after that wash.

[@DJC995]

Nice Video George a bit of paint makes a big difference Can you get tyres ok the Hay team the other week could not get the tyres they wanted Thanks again have a good week

[@lovejcdc]

My vote is for the Nokian ground kings

[@ritchieblackmore5204]

Hi George, the Bridgestone, yeah your right rims silver keep it originally

[@srobinson1332]

I think the Bridgestone tyres would be the best👍

[@cross6617]

This will look mint,your like me like it done as it should be,is this your tractor or the farms just out interest for your collection

[@henryhurricane]

There has been issues with Fastracs being fitted with the wrong load speed rating of tyres just recently, due to tyre shortages.Have people using both the makes you are looking at, with good results.

[@GeorgeSaunders]

That is not good and dangerous Harry.

[@michaellorio9774]

re bonjour George il et très propre juste un peu de finition de peinture ici ou la , un bon courage a toi pour la suite 👍👍👍

[@simongodfrey1048]

Stick with the Bridgestone tyres if you're going to do field work George 👍

[@richardgibbs7917]

George re-gas the accumulators on the suspension that will make a massive difference

[@Rx37Legacy]

Grassmen has a 4220 with the Nokian Roadking tires on it! Looks cool, but don't know how well they work.
