DAY865 UNIMOG v FASTRAC DRAG RACE OSR CUTTING ON FARM24 

Thanks for having Chloe and I today, we had a blast. Glad my amateur video also made the cut. See you all soon.

Been staying up river today and amazed , just how long the farmers have been working for since , 7am and still working combining and then turning over the field . Big respect to all the farmers and their workers

That Unimog is impressive. Info on the plan for you as I was tracking it on Flight Radar 24. It was a A400 Atlas transport aircraft used by the RAF. It was just the 1 plane from RAF Brize Norton. It did a couple of circuits at the airport before making out towards the Isle of Man before returing to Brize via the North Wales coast before heading through Snowdonia & mid Wales

There really should be a vintage Mog in the shed to go with the MB. 90% today, West Cork, Ireland.

We just tried this up a fairly steep hill with no trailers. neck and neck until about 12 mph then the unimog was off into the distance. The fastrac had no chance. As the loaded weight goes up the unimog will open up an way greater lead. The fastrac vario gearbox is not designed for high speed haulage, It is primarily a field gearbox. The unimog uses less fuel to make double the progress and with it's optional hydrostatic box will still mow and bale with no wearing parts. Great system if it is reliable as the rest of the merc products.

That was nice of you to entertain Chloe and Ian

More work done and a lot of fun by the look of it. Our local Agric (Honiton) Show today Clear TB test and then all went to show, Nice peaceful day with my dogs. Thanks Olly take care.

Unimog hauling with 2 trailers 😍 you are smashing the content atm Olly 👌

That unimog is some beast it was good having Chloe & Ian on the combine feeling 96 % today great video Ollie

No beating the various boxes, so smooth and predicable,

Great video olly, good to see Ian and chloe riding along . 92%.

Love the ‘Mog roadtrain. Definitely the best picture so far.

I was going to ask what the unimog looks like with 2 trailers and the ot appears 🤣, she looks mint, the only improvement would be higher sides on the unimog itself. Great video

Hi, Ian and Chloe x

Looks like you’ve had a real mixture of weather the last few days there then olly we haven’t had much in the way of rain so far plus the great Dorset steam fair is coming near us at the end of the month so fingers crossed the rain will stay away till after it’s finished

Idea for the sunflowers 🌻 after watching Devon and Cornwall on C4, harvest seed, press out oil then sell as Olly’s sunflower oil

I almost went head to head with that Mog on Greensbridge Lane earlier (20.45).... It is an impressive rig for ferrying!

8:14 Those are RAF A400M cargo/transport planes with the capacity to haul 37 metric tons of cargo or up to 128 para troopers

2:36 my favourite part of this video

Totally agree about why raising interest rates can possibly help

Loved the rant about the Bank of England because my mortgage will be going up on my buy to let but no bank has increased savings interest rate..

Nice One Olly Thanks again

a400m was the plane u saw was proberly doing touch and goes at the local airport they do it at a local one to me a few times a week always interesting to watch

Planes will most probably be from the RAF doing training. Excellent video as usual!

A nice picture of the unimog and the two trailers, I wish we had some of your rain I got zero water in my well and I am even think about if I could get the fire services to give me water.

Had to be done 😆 loved the drag race. Glad black beauty is back up & running.

Brilliant video olly 😃👍

Put some weight on the unimog and put a chain between the unimog and fastrac see who wins

Great video Olly like the unimog with the 2 trailers on behind don,t think you can beat a fastrack pleased to black beauty back in business.

Another great video Olly,95% today,Sams the man for that Unimog,thought I was watching a mercedes promotional film!

1.71 a litre yesterday in Ontario

Cracking content on your blog again today Olly - you sure are knocking it out of the park at the moment. Still boiling hot 🥵 and no sign of any rain down in Rochester Kent. By all accounts the forecast is for it to get hotter still next week!!! 🥵🥵🥵🚜. Going to miss the Unimog!!

the raf are all ways using liverpool airport for touch and go's all so it tactical advantage of being close to Liverpool docks witch is one of 3 places the uks new aircraft carrier's can dock

Interesting mentioning the increase in interest in response to inflation; you are right. The link between interest rates and inflation is old theory, its just not there in reality, but those in control have to be seen to be doing something. Sometimes things just get more expensive, we either have to get used to it, or find other sources for what we need.

I think the plane could be the Airbus A400m, the wing is made in filton and the plane could be doing a fly past of the broughton site ?

Brilliant video 👍

Those type of planes zoom round the UK flying along runways without actually landing. Training supposedly.

Hi Olly, another great video

Interest rates went up to get some of the money out the system when they were printing money and giving it out in Covid

Oh man i love the Unimog...

👍👍👍👍👍👍

Unimog looks the muts nuts with two trailers. Fastrac living up to it's name

Wow, under a pound. I thought it was bad in Canada

heard you were looking at new shredders and have a jenz on the way have you thought about doppstadt loads of different sizes. blue machinery group for them in this country I think diamant s2000 self driven heziohack track or unimog driven or the big track ones ukfes do some big ones more tree than green waste global recycling to some big tub grinders and drum ones for that matter

That plane was a RAF a400m atlas transport aircraft

The plane looks like an RAF a400. He wouldn’t have midlanded. They do what’s called a touch and go and keep going round and round doing them to practise landings!! Good video as usual olly, good to finally see how good the volunteer rape done!

Ha ha loved the drag racing you kids,my wife said that's not health and saftey.!?😁 🤠🇦🇺

Aircraft was a Airbus A400M, circuit training.

Love the farm

Love it mate! If i was a bit further south i’d love to come and work for you. 90% today. North West Lake District… P.S. in laws have a house in Frodsham, guess i could crash there in the week 🤔🤔🤷‍♂️😆

Consistently great content 👏 95% today 🚜

Great video

Unimog looks awesome with double trailers Are you able to tow doubles on the road loaded or would it be over weight?

Giant plane is a C17 globe master lll. Probably RAF.

they seem to think by raising interest rates it will bring inflation down how? i dont know

Fast track rules..nothing about the gearbox!..it's just the best

Boom!

Brilliant video brilliant guess funny accents though he hadn't she did

Hedge cutting date in England and Wales ls 1st of September. Why do you still cut hedges on road side August. Please explain

After hearing the profits posted from the oil companies think the banks are jumping on the bandwagon.

🏋️‍♀️🏁

Both are beasts 👍👍👍

Do you find with direct drilling people let thir dogs run free thinking it's a empty field??

Will you be testing the unimog with the bailer I think you said the other day it had the PTO and all the right connections

That mog looks good but would you actually buy it in place of a JCB fastract etc.Can it be used for ploughing, sowing and everything a normal tractor can do.?? Also who is Joe , is he related to you?

The BOE are only playing at it. There's financial carnage on the horizon and yes raising rates is only adding to the mess.

Your not right 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣all the way from Ireland 🇨🇮🇨🇮

Does Olly need a Unimog? Maybe. Does Olly want a Unimog? Absolutely. 😁

FOR SALE: 2022 Unimog side mirrors, NEVER BEEN USED! 😆 🤣 😂 Contact Olly for more info 😆

Get that mog bought Olly 😁😁

How many tone can your fertiliser spinner hold and would you recommend the one you got

Hi Olly, I know the mog has a lot more power than the fastrac, but do you think she'd out pull her?? (this is how I first found your blog, when I put into Google JCB V Matbro) it came up with the fastrac pulling the JD. I know your flat out on harvest buy if it rains would you consider it!?! Great videos by the way 😁

Planes are A400 atlas’s

The single biggest problem with the transmission its very slow

So I am by no means an expert in finance but the two reasons I could give for increasing the interest rates are: To decrease spending pressure within the general economy, yes inflation is to do with Ukraine but if you decrease buying then there will be less likelihood of inflation. The second and more important thing is that the pound is low, so things like gas and petrol are all put against the dollar, if you increase interest rates the pound will look more attractive to investors, they put money in, the pound goes up and petrol and gas prices look in pound terms to go down, if the pound to dollar is 1:122 as it is now and it goes to 1:150 then if you are buying in dollars you are able to buy more for the same amount of pounds and so petrol prices go down. Now this is not to counter the fact that oil and gas and fertiliser firms are not artificially keeping prices high and making record profits Like I say I am not an expert and expect lots of people to educate me on this

Could you do a drag race up the hill with loaded trailer to see which is quickest.

Yr fuel... is that red or normal road diesel ??

Hello olly

Fasttrak spanked you Oli. As below the plane was an RAF Airbus A400M doing 'PD's (practice diversions).

great video its a shame moggie is going back you to farming what alex higgins was to snoooker the peoples champion

Surely there's only one winner in that drag race

Did you fill both trailer’s on the unimog to see how it pulls

Fastrack all day long . Forgot Your mogs Proper tractor leads The way . It’s the only way 💪💪💪💪

Evening

As always great video

I know the unimog goes faster, is more powerful but I just recon the fastrac will be better a all round machine (yes I’m a biased fastrac fanboy)

Maze of England? Olly

Racing the JCB would be better if you change gear at 1500 revs rather than thrashing it over to 2500 revs. no torque or power after 1500 revs.... but i think the unimog would still loose 😂🤙

936 vs fasttrac

one nil to FASTRAC BRITISH IS BEST

Did you cut that because I asked 😂 ton a acre for nearly NEARLY nothing.

Typical merc shite gearbox, I drove a 2545 merc actros 44 ton truck, The gearbox is the worst I have even driven, Slow and dimwitted. Sadly the Mog doesn't look any better in that respect.
