Pros and cons of the Fastrac 8330?

[farmville_fan]

I'm new to this farming thing but I just got curious after driving past a house with a Fastrac 8330 parked in their garage... NOSY? Hahaha. Anyway, I looked up the price and was surprised to see that it's NOT AT ALL CHEAP. After canvassing prices, I found that 235K. Isn't that quite too much for 348 HP? I'm not sure if it's really worth using that since it's in the market, meaning people still demand for it. Isn't a more compact one like the Fastrac 4220 better?

Overall, it totally looks like the tractors I played with when I was a kid. But I'm thinking there's a reason why it looks the way it is due to functionality or whatsoever. It's not only supposed to look COOL. So my questions now are:

- What are the pros and cons of owning a Fastrac 8330?
- Which is generally better: Fastrac 8330 or 4220?

Thanks! Would love for a quick chat on this.

Man, you have no idea haha. I live near a farm in a rural area, so I've seen various tractors. I can tell you that all fastract is like its name, it's FAST haha, that's the main benefit

The real question, I suppose, is why FENDT IS BETTER THAN BOTH.
Guys... I get that I'm in a JCB forum so I'm sorry about that. I have had my Fastrac for a long time too before switching to Fendt. Only downside to Fendt is it's costly to fix but all in all everything is better.

But out of respect lemme answer you, 8330 isn't that much worth it because it's expensive with bad fuel economy. 4220 is for you

Those big Fastracs like the 8330 are built for covering ground fast, which is a big plus if you've got a lot of fields spread out. But yeah, they drink fuel like there's no tomorrow, and that price tag can really make your wallet weep.

think of the 8330 as the absolute brute for big jobs, and the 4220 as the super comfy, quick, and versatile machine that can handle almost anything you throw at it. so, if you ask, which one is better, it depends on what you need it for
