Brilliant video George - nothing wrong with “a bit of old school” it’s great seeing the ploughing going on especially with two tractors, wow. It’s hard to believe that ploughing is taking place in January! Smashing use of your drone, I’m going to watch it again now!!
in theory a fastrac should grip very well as most other equal wheeled machines grip hellish well like the old countys and Muir hills. I think the fastracs haven't the right weight distribution to make the most of it
What amazes me is how those tractors can handle the weight of those 6 furrow rollover ploughs. We tend to run semi mounted ploughs here in Canada, particularly once you go bigger than 4 furrows
i have just left a comment to the op about how incredible i thought it was. it gives me great heart to see how far trackors have come since my days in the industry . really wonderful
My one gripe with the on-land setup is how the land wheel runs in the tractor wheelings. If she’s spinning, your then as a consequence ploughing deeper, which could create more spinning and so on...
Another great video George, quick question is the plough on the Fendt set up evenly? when you look at the pair of discs one seems to have more paint worn away than the other, (like its going deeper)
George, a very good video, if only to demonstrate it is far too wet, particularly the JCB running in the furrow, there is a real risk of long term soil structure damage. I guess I am on my own on this statement though.
Good video, I see the auto steering is not being used, is it tricky to set up with two machines working? Initially I thought the headlands would be time consuming, you seem to have it worked out.
That kv on the fendt looks a tight lift, no bother to the JCB it's taking it with ease, a bit heavy looking out there, and a great bit of video footage George 👍
Great video, George! Were you using GPS? If so is there a way to "explain" to it that is has to skip every other row. I would think with 2 tractors it would get confused. Or, is there some kind of tandem ploughing mode?
What wheel slip percentage george as the fent seem yo have more,was it because you had more traction, being in the furrow or fastrac ability to drop her torque to prevent wheel slip thanks terry
Years ago i went to an event whereby they had an officail world record attempt of having the most tractors worknig in the same field at any one time ,, and they broke the record, cant remember how many it was though now ,..will have to look it up..
Great video reminds me of days long gone plowing on our farm farmers today here in America don't even know what a breaking plow is anyway your vids are always top notch !
how does the fastrac pull in comparison to the fendt.. ie Engine management and overall power we have a few 828's and 2 936 fendts but also have a 8330 fastrac and used to have a 4220 but got rid of it as it couldn't handle our implements how do your fasttrac for pulling
Lovely to see 2 tractors in one field but its a bit of a waste. would be far more productive if they were in separate fields not getting in each others way all the time.
Central Iowa Farmer that’s the point more grip in a furrow that on the land looks at the tyres less build up on the pair sat in the furrow but still more wheel slip.Having driven both machines the jcb isn’t a patch on fendt JCB only make good diggers
The fendt has the plough set for on land so pulls the plough from on top of land where as the jcb plough is a in furrow ploug which pulls plough from previous furrow left in ground.
It's a bit strange having you filming while your fazzy is rolling up and down the field 😂 😂 she looked like she was definitely on top of the job... All I need to do now is prove a mog can do the same and better than the fazzy 😉😂
Hellp George! I want to buy tractor 220 250 hp and I m thinking about fendt and jcb what do you think? Which tractor is better? Greetings from poland :)
Is there any reason that you're driving whith handthrottle on both tractors and regulate the speed manually? What's your oppinion on TMS for fieldwork? Do you try to "protect" the CVT transmission that way? I think that TMS sometimes regulates a bit too much in the field?! ;-) Greets from central Germany! Keep it up, George!
Hi, TMS in the Fendt and the cruise control in the Fastrac both operate very well most of the time. They do tend to come unstuck slightly when you get major changes in draft load, the transmissions tend to bog down a bit and you can lose momentum. Hence sometimes we run them more like a powershift transmission with fixed revs.
@@GeorgeSaunders Thank you! I really think that's a good way of doing draft work with a CVT! Especially when ploughing in 90° angle to the tramlines as you did! Thereby you can maintain the speed and prevent the transmission from over regulating under varying loads! Sounds absolutely logical! ;-)
