Jonathan Whitlam and Stephen Richmond visit the last remaining British tractor manufacture, JCB, the maker of Britain's most popular tractor, the Fastrac. Chief Engineer Ray Clay gives the two men an exclusive tour of the Staffordshire facility, where viewers see exactly how the tractors are manufactured. Then Jonathan and Stephen test the machines both on and off road, meet a JCB distributor and talk with the owner of a shiny new, yellow Fastrac.
