Farming photography was a member on here in the past and you look at his work in most of the ag magazines and farm machinery advertising in uk and he goes all over the world too.i know him personally and he is a great chap

I thought the name was familiar, I assumed he was a youtuber or something. If it is the channel I am thinking of it is great work.

Not how I want to see a tractor run coming in/out of a row.
Do the jcb’s have a reversible fan??

Bugger he’s hoping on a bit

Who is farming photography?

The outfit in the states hardly look like people who would not service their kit?

I would not want to be in the USA in a Fastrac; in all the ones I have ever driven the air con had a job to keep up with a hot day in the UK, much less anywhere else.

An old video of Robinsons I remember seeing blacked out windows on jd foragers so fairly extreme.

We fitted a cleanfix reversing can system to ours for mowing.works ok but still need to blow out of its late on in season and theres lots of pollen and dust.ours looks similar speed if the goings good enough.8250.capable of 20mph downhill if smooth enough and a known field !not generally quite that fast though?

Is it design fault or driver fault to break 4 headstocks

Common fault. Saw half a dozen on pallets at our local dealer.

If they're so bad, why have they got 10 of them?

Imagine big businesses like that change them all at one time.

Depends what they class as a breakdown.
If there is any truth in the fact that they’re tweaked up, and they’re experiencing cooling issues, tough.

Our kit would regularly work in much heavier crops than seen there apart from air temperatures I’d say they arnt under that much pressure

Fair enough. I'd point out that that wouldn't be considered a good crop.
I found the temperature and dust to be a big factor there, keeping machines (and the driver) cool were some of the biggest problems I had.
I can only speak from my experience.

Better to go on steady- save your neck/back and get just as much done in a day. Never understood it- saw one lad who drove everywhere flat out like he stole it. On the pedals and extreme tight turns all the time, I was wondering if he was on drugs myself. Why race around like a tawt? Silaging you are gonna be waiting on someone anyway?

Tractors should be suitable to work in any conditions and I beleive jcb advertise the fact that they test tractors all over the world.its a pretty poor advert fir the tractors and maybe the owner is getting nowhere and needs to vent his frustration.10 of these tractors is a lot of money and they need to be reliable.

I was watching one of Mike Mitchells YouTube videos last night and thought of your comment. Apparently they have a Fendt 720 that "has more power than cooling" as it keeps getting hot pulling a large (very large) set of land rollers.
Pulls it fine but wont stay cool.

Never heard tel o a tractor gettin it real tight on a roller

Have you seen his roller?
Its all about load on the engine, trucks don't normally get hot but put them on a steep hill for long enough many will.
Big fields constant loads for long periods and you soon find out who has the best cooling system.

It’s an 82 foot roller

what will those 84ft rollers weigh roughly? They are amazing!

I’d love to roll a 10 acre field with them

Yes but is this fendt not puttin out more power than fendt standard ratin. Not fair comparison if uv screwed it out and worked it to the balls all the time

17.5 tonnes

I don't know the story with that one and if its been boosted or not.
I posted to point out not all operating conditions are the same.

I'm sure the operator would love a 10acre field as well. He mentioned on 1 of his videos his biggest field is 5500acres
