A lot of the accidents that the big Fendts, JCB FasTracs, and wheeler Challenger tractors are due to speed. When you have a tractor capable of 45-54 mph as these tractors are, they can get pretty squirrely if you aren't used to them. I took one of the new FasTracs at the dealer I worked at out on the road and ran it at 40 mph. Too fast for me, even though it drove nice, the independent suspension and cab suspension made the body roll feel much more amplified than I was comfortable with. We sold one JCB 8250 with 2 8500 gallon manure tankers, yes (2). He left michigan for Missouri with them a couple months after buying them. Somewhere in Indiana, he took a curve too fast at full speed (54 mph) and rolled the whole operation. The owner survived, as well as one of the tankers, but the tractor and front tanker did not. The way the foreign dairy farmers around here drive them, it's amazing we haven't seen them get hurt or kill someone else. They got the lease for all the MDOT ground along here, and think nothing of pulling the silage wagons and manure tankers out onto the divided highway with traffic moving at 65-70 mph. They use the theory of being bigger will make everyone move for them. Having smart operators makes a huge difference in tractor accidents and how bad the outcome of them is.

I got my 1964 Oliver Model 550 (serial 141-139-519) second-hand and used it for several years before the clutch began to slip. After taking up the pedal linkage several times I saw it was going to take more than that. The engine had been leaking oil at the rear seal and I suspected
