I drove a JCB 3 in the 1960s, later the JCB3c plus a 360 deg model number ?? Then came the JCBcx for Sir Robert McAlpine, it one of the first off the production line and came with a JCB mechanic who detailed the daily use, fuel consumption and checked the wearing parts for his reports. The only problem he found was with the forward - reverse shuttle gearbox which was in fact a marine box. This was changed and I drove that machine for another four years without any other problems, only routine maintenance. After the JCB3 it was like driving a Rolls Royce, I've also driven a few of those. My biggest problem is my hands and brain are fixed in the JCB system of lever control and I find it hard to swap to other make machines.

If ever anyone is asked to explain the word "great" in Great Britain.... JCB would be it.....!

In 1964 I was an apprentice commercial vehicle bodybuilder at age 16. Mr Bamford used to visit our factory where lorries were bodied with hand-made bodies. We used to watch him and laugh to ourselves. We had lots of boxes and tins containing new and old bolts and he used to pocket some when he thought nobody was looking. He was a rich man but didn't like to see nuts and bolts going to waste!

That was absolutely brilliant guys, Hollywood for you lot next.

What's the attachment on the excavator arm? It looks like a box!

Good video. I would argue that Liner were the telehandler pioneers in the early 70s. The first JCB 2wd handler was a bit of a lemon off hard surfaces. Trantor pioneered high speed tractors in the 70s but were poor in design and capability compared to the later JCB.

@diggersanddozers

2 жыл бұрын

You’re right! Perhaps instead of pioneered, we should have said ‘early to adopt the telehandler’. Although, over the last few decades since then it would be hard to argue that JCB aren’t the front runners. Funnily enough, JCB rarely describes itself as the creator or inventor. It instead prides itself on innovating and building on top of what came before. 👍🏻

Regarding "Fast Tractors" the Unimog was first produced in 1948, The series 1 Land Rover (it could have a PTO) was first made in the same year. Go back even further than that, to 1938 and you could argue that the Minneapolis Moline UDLX Comfortractor was one of the first - it had a top speed of 40mph.... There's little "new" but as has already been stated, JCB reckon to be innovators rather than inventors...

@@jimgoodwin6294 do not worry mate I will not be stupid enough to buy another one, it was not poor maintenance, it had major issues that were well known by JCB themselves, to the point most dealers stopped selling the model we had, JCB themselves removed it from sale to redesign. What really pissed me off is JCB was well aware of all the problems, the dealer even told me this model was a piece of shit, yet every time it broke we had to fight to have them repair it. I just wonder how you would feel if you buy a new machine which breaks down in the first month, followed by more constant break downs only to have the dealer advise you the problems you are having are common to all these machines, but then go on and resist covering any repair cost or refuse to replace a machine which is clearly not of an acceptable standard. My problem with JCB is not just the quality of the machine, it is also how we were treated when they openly admitted the machine had problems yet still did not want to back the machine under warranty.
