Mark,looking at the axle stub design on Pauls pics I'd say fitting row crops to the front axle looks straight forward,I put some on a britains mf 7480 and it is much the same as in Pauls pics and they fitted well once you drilled the correct size hole,it amazes me how britains release those recent mf 5600 and 7600 then come up with this fastrac much more of a middle ground between toy / collector model.

Paul Palmer Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) first tyre size listed Joe in the fastrac is brochure is 540-65-R30's the britains wheels are definately 22mm diameter Joe,so you are saying they are to small?,also listed is 600-70-R30 Edited December 12, 2015 by paulali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Paul,I have the 8250 which according to the JCB web site has the same front wheels 540 - 65 - R34,and they measure 55mm x 16.5 mm,?? Regards Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 34" diameter wheel centres would be 27mm diameter at 1:32 30" diameter wheel centres would be 24mm diameter at 1:32 540mm width tyres would be 17mm at 1:32 65% of 17mm is 9.5mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 just measured the width of the tyres,they are 18 mm,also height of tyre is 10 mm,so looks like according to Stan,they are on the britains model 540-65 R30's,or as near as dam it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegreen Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) I visited the JCB dealership Pecks of Ely yesterday Paul and they had around a dozen britains model JCB 4220s for sale..................but still no sign of yours yet Now Ive had a good look at my 4220 I have to agree it is easily Britains most accurate model todate, and theres plenty of room for improvement as well..........................its in a different league from recent poor efforts of both JD and especially MFs which look awful. Now where that screwdriver Edited December 16, 2015 by bluegreen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 £19.99 Mark, which seems a fair price to me..........................My G & M one was £17.50 plus postage , so if I buy anymore 4220s I will pick them up from Pecks when I do my weekly shopping at Sainsburys which is virtually next door and avoid getting anymore postage costs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
