JCB = British = leaks oil profusely.

JCB = 4th largest construction equipment manufacturer in the world
JCB = U.S.A. - 500,000 sq ft manufacturing facility in Savannah, Georgia
JCB = the World's Fastest Diesel, the JCB DieselMax @ 350.092 mph
JCB = Largest range of compact equipment in the world and #1 worldwide in Backhoe Loaders
JCB = 280 hp fully suspended 42 mph tractor with ABS disc braking
JCB = World class manufacturing facilities on all 5 continents

No oil leakage problems on any of the JCB equipment I have seen!

Hmm, interesting. I know the oil thing was a bit over the top, just a bit of Triumph humor.

Sounds like a Case 480 4x4 or a JD 210 4x4...machines that were built over 20 years ago....... Nothing new there except a super fancy cab.....

heck, here's a model that fits that exact description made by JCB for close to 12 years:2001 JCB 212S For Sale at MachineryTrader.com

Well, the compactness of the machine would be quite different, as well as the technology that has evolved since those machines were built, they are both good machines, but both utilize a full size backhoe platform. As far as those JCB's, I demoed one a few years ago when I was looking for a compact machine and it LOOKS great, but the fit and finish was horrible and when I stopped in the shop to speak to the service manager about them, well, lets just say he wasn't a big fan, and thats being nice.

Tags, your alive . What about the EF5 that MChalkey owns. It was the EarthForce but I forgot what they call it now. Ever check into those. I think its Bobcat, an IR company that builds them now. That is the next level up when compare to the JD 110, Kubota TLB's which in my opinion are light industrial/construction. RaT.....

Raterman:

You are alive too. I see Arnold didn't get the best of ya. That Chevron synthetic is great stuff in the M9. T'was a little pricey here but worth it. I immediately lost the brake chatter and the clutch pack modulates easier. Besides, I can see it on the dipstick. Now to do the 105.......

I don't know. I'm here infrequently anymore. Is PAMike or CowBoyDoc still around? How do we get a hold of the old timers?

I see no listing anywhere for moderators.

Very different forum now.

Mike is here all the time I think, Richard is rarely here. I take a quick look and spend very little time here except more recently. Its pouring rain. In another month I should all but be gone. Mark

Earthforce is now IR

The 570/575 is a heck of a construction machine.

The 370 has a strong loader, but the small tires are a turn off.

No 3 point hitch or PTO. A true TLB.

By the way, I forgot to mention in my earlier post that for this new tractor the manufacturer is seriously considering having 3 Pt and PTO as an option.
A five or six ton all arounder TLB would be nice.

JCB 212 does not seem to have 3 Point PTO cabability, do they?
By the way, I'm old enough to remember how Lucas was the prince of darkness. I hope JCB outsources their electrical stuff to Japan.
