FASTrac

Interesting, this pulls a stock box for 80% of her time doing anywhere from 60-200 miles a day and we were talking about stopping her quicker. Do you have any pictures? In all honesty the Stuart it’s couplled to is one of the nicest trailers I’ve ever towed and stops very well!

How do you find yours on the feeder? Very good in 4ws for the tight gate holes getting in and out with the tanker on round here

What are you doing with stockbox doing them miles everyday ?

My old autoshift getting land ready for sowing grass at 2am lol back in the early autum.

Because why not? They will stand 300HP in them 2000 series and it goes like a fudgeing train. I have pulled silly silly weight with it and can’t slow it nor hold it up much. She’s possessed, I’ve driven all sorts, V8 Scanias Mogs the lot but this thing is wild

As some of the more knowledgeable chaps have said it’s usually drivers that let these wonderful machines down by being abusive of the power and speed, just because she’ll do 42/45 doesn’t mean she has to do it everywhere

Fair enough it's your tractor at the end of the day

Once watched the prep time to do it all while having some grub, how the ole boss man keeps track of it all is actually quite amazing!
