Certainly a lot more getting around. Farmer around here has a second one on order like you have apparently. Perhaps I should of tried one before I ordered something else....😆

I had my first fastrac in 1995 up to 2014 .total of 32 off them in that time .and some times you thought they where bankrupting me with all the breakdown. Some of them was not reliable machines and jcb had to uplift some them and replace them for new ones . But I Still love them.

pity really because the idea of a fast tractor for road logistics and rough and ready enough for (basic :unsure:) field use is so good a one.

Perhaps they try to follow to much sophistication and heavy draft complications, i mean a simple manual gearbox ladder /chassis frame big disc braked high geared would be perfect .

The prototype and early ones were far simpler and could've been developed for more reliability but that's the same for everything , cars included in the way i need/use them i guess.
