A BIG thanks to Oliver Landpower for supplying This JCB Fastrac 4220 ICON for us to have a look at. Can the new Cab layout cut the mustard? We find out!
The general camera work... drone work... mix and edit on this is taking it to the next level George. Beautifully done sir! That JCB is quite the bit of kit and all.
Very nice. I’m impressed with the previous generation. Been in one approx 6 weeks on a 16 ton Bailey trailer carting Potatoes. Not done any draft with it yet. Love it.
What you need George is a system that does all the work for you, a bunk in the back of the cab, and 'teasmade' to wake you up with a nice drink when it's finished... 😁
Explain very well bit different to my 2135 with all gadgets to make it easier to drive may have to leave Custard Cream’s at home. Keep up the good work family farm’s backbone of British agriculture.
What the 4220 needs is a greater selection of wider wheels, and maybe some more horsepower closing the gap between the 4220 and the big 8000 series. It's a heavy tractor, and 540 or 600's are kind of narrow on a 7.5 ton tractor + the weight of the implements front and back :)
Here in my country no Tractor ever has big/wide wheel. I guess it heavily depens on the soil if you need them. I love how they look. More Variaty is always nice to have.
I guess me and mucker are the same. I want the fwd and reverse pwr shuttle on the left column. I want the gear selector on my right thumb and everything is right in the world 😅 case puma 👍kubota m108x 👍 m9540 👍now the other case farmall it has the selector on the left side of the seat no power shuttle and the shifters on the right side of the seat for speed but its still a great tractor and I have run it for so many years I can shift and shuttle just as fast as the other tractors for the most part. I like the options to switch everything it looks like the tractor I would get my son to run because he loves the new tech. We are looking at the t5 and the vestrum we will probably go with the vestrum because it is just about all we can get after all the shortages and the new world we live in great video george
Looks like someone a happy boy wondered how long before you got your hands on the new fastrac had one few weeks ago on demo right power house pulls our larrington no problem fully loaded
Looks mint George! Worth saying though that our Fendt Gen 6 has got all the same features on its screen and I think my neighbours new JD 6185r does as well, but good to see JCB keeping up with the herd.
would be nice to se4e a walk around and show how much tool storage it has, what its like on def and diesel usage i.e. how long the tank full lasts, also what the sound system, cup holders, cubby holes, cooler and other inside creture comferts are like and how they work
I haven't done a specific walk round purely because apart from the new control layout everything else is the same and I have covered it all before in previous videos.
Think i'll stick to old school moving a lever or two and using a clutch pedal and a big gear lever to change a gear, mind my tractor has got datatronic but i've only got 21 acres 😁
The amount of technology in that machine, how long would it have taken in product development to get it to that final outcome ? If that is what is available today, I wonder what will be getting thought of today in product development that is going to be in future fastracs. Excellent video 👍
I guess with that being a demo machine it comes well specked, all those extras come with a hefty price tag. Watch wardys weekly waffle with his new 8RX drilling & see what tech can really do
Mate, I’m extremely impressed with the intro before you start talking about it. The frame changes in time with the music, bud without pissing in ya pocket, that could be shown in a advert, easily. Was that Liz’s work/editing, yours or both?
That's a cracker looks really great tractor luxury indeed....... Still doesn't sound as good as the TW still my favourite tractor but got to give it to the fast track its nibbling at the TW a bit now 😁😁😁
Is the icon isobus ready as well? Could it run section control for sprayer, fert spinner, drill etc? That screen certainly is an improvement from the looks of it
Nice one sir.... looks like a computer on wheels. Hope it doesn't need updates every week 😆. How's the black paint on it fairing? Iv noticed a lot of the new diggers have issues with rust at under 100 hrs on some panels. Hope it's not on the fastrac paint line to.. 😬 stay safe sir. Ps. They need to offer you a 50% discount at this rate especially for that intro it was better than there own .
That's exactly why alot of farmers don't like newer tractors. There's way too many settings and things you need to know to get the job done. Personally I would rather farm with basic knowledge equipment.
