JCB tread

[JD Bob]

Ok guys lets here about your JCB's. I have a 214 series 3 backhoe with Perkins turbo diesel. Nice little machine.

My one and only JCB, a compact telehandler, the day I hauled it home in 2010:

If I ever owned a skid steer, it might be one of those Robots. Just so much easier to get in and out of. It would probably be the Terex brand (If they make them) as some of the Terex stuff comes off the same line, just with somewhat better QC, which for JCB has always been notoriously bad. Shame, they always seem to be innovative machines.

I test drove a 214 years ago. That Perkins gave me a splitting headache!

I've got a 1550-B that I play in the dirt with.

It's ugly....loose.... but as a homeowner, it does what I need around here with plenty of muscle.

It can however, be expensive to maintain....especially since it doesn't earn any keep, it's really just a toy at this point.

That's great though. Some day, you can probably sell it for what you paid for it, or more! Better a real machine, than a garden tractor with loader and hoe.
