This Fastrac has the typical English front 3 point hitch, and is carrying a full set of suitcase weights. The beauty of this system is that the weights can be quickly attached or detatched as required.
The whole idea of front weights is to counter balance heavy implements on the rear, and they add weight to the front driving wheels for traction. The ideal would be 50% on rear and 50% on front wheels

Saw a Fastrac here awhile back pulling a big square baler down the road.

Man do thoses things move.

Thought it was a semi truck coming down the road till it cleared the trees so I could see it.

Familiar with the JCB brand of backhoe/loaders and reachlifts on construction sites out west in USA. Was wondering wouldn't that weight ratio change when the bottoms where let down into the earth? Would the added pull load equal the diminished carrying load? Looks like that tractor is doing a great job of turning the soil. However looks to me to be two people in the cab and a poosible fight for the wheel (or the radio) going on...

It looks to me like the passenger fell asleep. Dave
