Excellent video as always George. That original switch has definitely covered it's cost, it's been pressed and depressed how many times, and I am sure with all the care and attention you give your machine's this new one will as well.
Good Evening George, As you say you don’t want to get stuck on the black cat roundabout more so at this time with all the work going on, Thanks for one more great video it’s amazing that a small switch can give you so much trouble, Well you take care of yourself and stay safe.🚜🚜👍⭐️👌
Hello George she is being a pain but like u say it is 20 years old we have still got about 300 acres wheat to go and 250 spring wheat and 150 spring barley cracking video as always look forward to the next one 👍👍
OMG George, there really is something else all the time with that Fastrac! Good job you love 'um so much!! Well at least it was a cheap-ish fix, I'm not going to say easy after your little rant!🤣🤣🤣
I feel your pain with the clutch, my clutch fluid bottle decided it wanted a redesign and put a hole in its self🤦♂ I then spent the day on the estate muck spreading. First 2 quick couples leaked, then thought I’d found a good pair only to do 3 laps of the field with them leaking 😖 about 40ltrs of hydraulic oil I put in this aft!😭🤦♂
Good job you got them New Holland tractors George always something wrong with that fasttrac you should nickname it sicknote always having a day off keep the vids coming George always interesting
Sadly everything wears out, but look on the bright side it's probably cheaper and easier to mend than the modern stuff. I doubt if many of them will make it to classic status !!! Cheers, Poth.
Our 3230had a leaking hydraulic tank 10 pin holes in the bottom does a lot of road work in winter salty road s t7 on bale trailer tomorrow 17 mile haul one way not many loads per day !
George, how much of a yield benefit on the following season's crop do you see in comparison when you chop & incorporate the straw instead of baling & taking it off the field...???
Evening George.. so .. on the scale of brokenness... its in the 10% and lower so not really broken just taking some time off.. 😊.. Nice vid sir nothing like carting bales off ... Ooohh the plough will be out next... maby on the FW?...🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤔.. 😊 stay safe 🏴
Sorry to hear the F.T is down mate but at least it is nothing major George its a pain in the *SS but ul have the yellow Beast back up n runnin again pal.
Another win George, Shame you can't upgrade the transmission to a newer automatic variable one so you don't even need to have Clutch and just drive like Automatic cars etc. do?
Don’t know why my original comment was deleted George? Excellent load of straw on board, good to see the Fastrac lack of drive problem was a relatively easy repair. Great vid. 😊
Can't help thinking that if we had been at Saunders Farms and the Fastrac had a clutch problem it would probably have been gone and a nice 8330 would have appeared from the Dealership.
Such a tiny little device, yet one with such a huge affect that rendered the tractor useless. Glad it was an easy fix for you. The Fastrac is a good tractor as are Land Rovers and Ranger Rovers good off-roaders. However, your last comment of wondering for how long they will remain working well is the same for both. There is no such thing as a perfect machine of any shape or size anywhere in the world, but British manufacturing and quality control really need to step up their game so that the reliability matches that of the engineering and innovation. Otherwise, they just end up with a bad reputation and people not trusting them. For the record, I own a Land Rover (DIscovery 5) so I am not a hater. Moreover, I think it is a damned shame that both JCB and Land Rover can't work harder at improving themselves. They know the issues as there are enough people complaining about the same things. There are more examples in other industries too that suffer from the same quality control issues, despite the fantastic design, engineering or concept.
I got fed up with them randomly not working, stopping recording and losing audio, I won't be getting one any time soon, however there are other makes that do similar cameras 👍
Great video George I just like to say George it would be fun though wouldn't to cause havoc at The Black Cat 😂😂😂 because if I come round the roundabout I could give you a double thumbs up👍👍👍👍👍
George old school horsepower is the best these old tractors were built to last not the new ones with all the electronics in them and having to have a computer just to find out what's wrong with them . Like all this trouble with John Deere not letting farmers repair their own machines and i bet they could program fault to happen in these new tractors to generate more money from repairing them because there's been a lot of new machines breaking down frequently and some are only a few weeks old .
You know me by now George that bloody fast track wants getting rid of, the bloody thing has never been any good. The old TW was all over it much better tractor and always will be. Thing is think it's time you had a John Deere a real tractor that won't let you down. Get rid of that Fastrack pile of junk mate, sorry to be honest but it is!!!!
I had that little switch go bad on the 7530 premium I got from over there. cheap and easy fix its just annoying as it can be.
Great stuff Gerorge and Richard, at least it wasn't too serious, even if it was fiddly👌👍🙏😎
Nice little video George, great you sorted out gearing problem. Great sounding engine. Well done George 👍 🔧 🚜

Excellent I'm glad she's sorted and it didn't cost an arm and a leg.
I bet it wasn't cheap even for that switch
So glad the fàstrac is working again I've missed it myself
Another great video has always George and liz 👍
Be great to see the Russells over. Can't beat the Irish for fixing tractors 💪😀

Glad to see the jcb back going again and the 225 looks beefy on those tyres 👍
Good to see the Fasty was an easy fix mate..
Can’t beat a bit of good luck with a breakdown . All sorts runs through yer head when they start to bugger up 😄👍🏻🏴🚜
Good job you got them New Holland tractors George always something wrong with that fasttrac you should nickname it sicknote always having a day off keep the vids coming George always interesting
Brillant video again George so natural nothing staged u say it as you see it fair play

T7225 my dream tractor
Damned good load of bales there George 💪 hope the size of the clutch switch was relevant to the price for it 🙄 small 🤣👍
I doubt it Bob!
Hope the JCB is up & running again in short order, George. 🚜🙏
Hi George Nice one Thanks again
Brilliant video george 👍
Sorry to hear the F.T is down mate but at least it is nothing major George its a pain in the *SS but ul have the yellow Beast back up n runnin again pal.
Great video george
The weather of late has been very good
Your a dab hand when it comes to fixing your own problems George.
Great vid fella 👍🏻
Luckily a relatively easy fix for JCB.
Another win George, Shame you can't upgrade the transmission to a newer automatic variable one so you don't even need to have Clutch and just drive like Automatic cars etc. do?
Even if you could they are extremely expensive 👍
It always seems to be the smallest switches that are the most awkward to change

Not guilty Trevor, I don't know what happened to it. She lives to fight another day👍
Can't help thinking that if we had been at Saunders Farms and the Fastrac had a clutch problem it would probably have been gone and a nice 8330 would have appeared from the Dealership.
A big new one would be nice!👍
Top farming sir
Good vid sir 👍

How long does it take for the airbags and air brakes take to build pressure on the big bale trailer
A couple of minutes 👍
Hi George do you think your trade the fast track in for newer one.
who ever heard of engaging the clutch with a switch ff sake. get a grip jcb😖😖😖
I have asked B4 but can't remember do you need a HGV for that
No Andy, just a car license 🙈
Ever thought about going old school back to go pro pov vids mate?
I got fed up with them randomly not working, stopping recording and losing audio, I won't be getting one any time soon, however there are other makes that do similar cameras 👍
Great video George I just like to say George it would be fun though wouldn't to cause havoc at The Black Cat 😂😂😂 because if I come round the roundabout I could give you a double thumbs up👍👍👍👍👍
You could give me a tow!😂
How long is your tri Axel ?
32ft

I have often wondered about that, it wouldn't be hard to program something like that into any electronic device 👍
Find a good shed, for that jcb, bring her out on holy days... Go on new holland
Poor girls falling to bits lol
At least you dont have to operate again ,easy fix
Do you still have the fendts George?
That was when I worked for HSAG, they have an all JD fleet now👍
@@GeorgeSaunders sorry I didn't know that. 👍🏻would u ever consider one?
I thought you’d have had something a little stronger than an ice cold can of.. coke lol 👌🏻🚜🧊
