We got rid of our JCB Telehandler and this is why

[@spannermonkey]

Nice upgrade Brian, 420 is a weapon. Over here in the UK we have a customer on a dairy farm who clocks almost 2000hrs a year on his loadall. Hope you enjoy the new one 👍

[@cucvfarmer]

Were I used to work they bought a JCB just like that one but 10 years older. We found out you must grease the lift cylinder daily or you will wear out the hole wear the bottom pin goes thru the cylinder. Also if you live were it gets bellow 0° make sure you get the cold weather package for the hydraulic oil. If you don't you can blow a hole in the hydraulic oil cooler while idling. That happened to me one morning. Happy birthday Brian.

[@rolfwhite6479]

Metric is, 6.0 metre reach, 3.8 tonne max lift hence the 538-60 The agri controls are also different to a construction spec but the main difference is power and road speed Q-fit is jcb specific

[@noelcahill6707]

The TM is a great machine we use them for pushing silage up pits

[@2bittesla]

A good way to master forks on any telehandler. Boom out to the load, as a rule, instead of driving into a load. Tilt forks down till both fork tips are visible. Line forks up with load to be lifted. Extend boom to insert tips in load. Simultaneously boom down and tilt forks up to further insert forks in load. You're in. Now level out forks to match load and boom out, up, down, as required to fully insert and secure load. Takes practice to master however.

[@gene6690]

We have two 540-170 telehandlers which are running at 14000 and 15000 hours. We only had to redo the injector pump because of Kerosene in the diesel and on the other we did the brakes. Great machines

[@benpattinson1]

You won’t go wrong with a JCB Brian. 👍👍

[@tomreid8696]

When you close the top door, you need to open the bottom door at the same time, it will never seal properly unless the bottom door is open

[@prjndigo]

Well, your problem was you needed a hi-tip bucket (forward hinge bucket) which you should probably look into getting as well. Super handy for doing ground-to-hopper work since you can reduce the wear on the boom's wrist. That 420 is going to chew its tires up a little faster than your old one on surfaces, just take the articulation easy and smooth and it should last you a long time.

[@seeker1432]

That's one heck of an upgrade. I've seen a lot of livestock farmers having them. Great on moving bales and everything else around quickly.

[@adrianhutchin4925]

love JCB they are made about a 2 hour drive away was brought up on them well done be safe from the UK

[@Cruisingthroughitall]

538.60 means 5 series (all jcb telehandlers), 38 means 3.8 tonne lift (metric) and 60 means 6m reach! The agri models, agri super, pro etc are spec levels, usually go up in hp and gearbox (nicer dualtech one which is hydro at low speeds, gear manual at higher). Yes agri ones are way nicer to run, construction spec are very basic and slower in speed and hydraulic capacity. From england

[@kyleaustin2377]

Have the tm320 at work and love it. The 420 is awesome! You will enjoy it much more

[@frankg5466]

Farming insider purchased the same JCB 420, was lifting 3900 pound bale piles without any issues.

[@theheepsey1120]

Its great to see that JCB is a popular brand in the States too

[@dawsonrichter215]

Hey Brian to maybe help with fertilizer dust you could get that new loader ceramic coated. Will shed water and dust like nothing. Might help with fert dust as well!

[@hosshodges5308]

We have a TM320. Servicing of that machine is a little challenging. We've had JCB, and new Holland telahandlers. The TM is holding alot better then the other ones we've used. We put an average of 200 plus hours a month on it. Overall it's better. I enjoy your U tube channel.

[@wbball15]

Brian Brown, you're putting out great content. SEND IT!

[@kopenhagenkid]

Happy Birthday Brian have a great day with your family

[@jonahwenzinger4127]

I drive a tm320 at work and have no complaints got it new last year has 450hrs now and it’s been flawless

[@BriansFarmingVideos]

Good to know

[@farmerlamb2372]

I'm surprised that there are so few telehandlers on farms in the States, here in the UK every other farm has them and probably half of them are JCB.

[@jamesbyrne5734]

Thought the same . Looks like skid steers are the choice of equipment 🤗

[@ianmcgrath6493]

Yeah i always think that. I had a rare monoscopic loadall so rigid boom think it was a W reg so about 1980 they boomed in popularity from then on. I couldn't believe watching sonne farms evaluate a loadall and blown away at idea of telescopic. In think there side the pond space isn't the issue so they had huge loading shovels which gave them the height reach without needing telescopic boom

[@jacekatzung7499]

I think people like the compactness of skid loaders…but really the tele handler is better machine…faster higher lift capacity

[@bzs187]

If you think about it, in Europe we have grain warehouse's, while USA use bin's. So they don't have a need for a telehandlers to move and load the crops.

[@Jay_Force_One]

There just really isn’t a need for a Telehandler on most US farms. A Skid-Steer can handle most tasks you would find on a US Farm. I think there is a few main reasons why Telehandlers are more popular in the UK. 1. Farms are just not all that big in the UK on average. Therefor, the infrastructure has maximum space usage in mind with them being so compact. In the UK the barns tend to have overhead lofts where bales, tools, and equipment can be stored. 2. Farms in the UK tend to be spread out with plots all over the place. Telehandlers are known to have higher road speeds and can move from plot to plot fairly quickly to deliver seeds, fertilizer, tools, etc. 3. Because UK farms are smaller. They tend to have smaller equipment and implements, which need to be refilled more often. Hence, a telehandler being able to travel around efficiently. That’s just not the case in the US. US farms are hundreds to thousands of Acres and have dedicated buildings for the storage or Equipments, tools and bales. The equipment tends to be extremely large and holds enough seed, fertilizer to do many acres of work. Even if they do need a refill, a skid steer won’t help. They need full pump trucks or auger wagons to refill them. So Skid-Steers work just fine for moving around stuff, and they rarely leave the yard.

[@randybennett5417]

The young guy on 10th generation farm was getting out of their front entry skid steer and slipped on the bucket, it hurt. JCB is so far ahead of other makes, safer for sure.

[@paulscott1550]

I got rid of my JCB, after years of constant breakdowns happy to see it go. Dealer started to ask us to pay for repairs, my argument was it broke down from the day we got it new, it was the same few problems every time from new, they should continue to repair the machine or replace the it. It was a happy day to see the JCB head down the drive for the last time, Fantastic machine to operate, just never lasted a more than a couple of months without a breakdown. The dealer even openly admitted the model we owned has design problems, it was actually taken off the market to redesign to have the problems fixed, The machine should have just been replaced it was so bad but JCB did not care we had a machine which constantly broke down

[@BriansFarmingVideos]

That’s frustrating

[@37903eral]

Nice up grade to the farm, she always said bigger is better, may not always need it but it's their when you need it.

[@ryanmorse8900]

We have a TM320 and we love it.

[@fowletm1992]

We have a 560-80 So 6t lift 8m reach 13k lb lift 26ft reach Got 2000hrs on it and it's still fine the aircons in them are total junk if you live in a hot country (Australia) The biggest advantage on them is they have very large hydraulic pumps Compared to a loader tractor anyway So you can run quite large hydraulic implements This one will be interesting, iv seen you load fert inside your fert shed I wonder if you'll miss the 4 wheel steering of the tele handler Alot more capacity than the little tele handler you had thought

[@bobearthquakepumpkinfarm7455]

Good to see you. Almost started to get BFV withdrawal. Have you been thinking about showing some crop scouting? It would interest me in seeing how the crops are progressing. That may be a broken record to you, but it never gets old to me. I've been thinking about the air on the combine header using so much power. You know more than me, but what if you changed nozzle direction or design? Maybe that fan should be in the middle. I would rather see more power used elsewhere.

[@BriansFarmingVideos]

Brian and Luke did some field scouting recently. I’m not sure if he’s released the video yet.

[@ITubeTooInc]

If you want faster travel speed, JCB does make 50 kph (31 mph) versions of the 320S and 420S, with improved inboard oil immersed dual circuit front & rear axle bakes vs. the single circuit front only brakes on the the 40 kph (25 mph) models. The 320 and 420 models however only comes in 40 kph (25 mph) versions, while the 320S and 420S models comes in both 40 kph (25 mph) and 50 kph (31 mph) versions.

[@raymondo162]

blimey !! you know lots !!

[@marcusmcsorley_1]

You would be pushed to find an arable , livestock or mixed farm in the UK without a Telehandler , great bits of kit , add a pickup hitch and even more versatile.

[@philwhatever3903]

Wow its so different from the construction version (lay out). Although they all seem to come with different functions. The door having the air gap is a standard thing. To get rid you have to open the bottom door close the top door to it whilst its open then close the top and bottom together.

[@neilmakey598]

The radio is adjustable you just need to change the settings is all the it will turn off when you turn the machine off

[@America-First2024]

Holy cow! That’s definitely an upgrade! 👍🏻

[@DoubleD.]

I really enjoyed the new Tele-handler, I think it’s going to be a really good addition to your farm.

[@southtexashay777]

Yes Sir you brought out the big guns on that new equipment, Really looks solid, hope you all enjoy it. Keep safe.

[@BriansFarmingVideos]

Thanks for watching

[@emilhuggarn3050]

Hi Think the window lock is adjusteble and in the rear tire you could put in water and salt so it dont flipps forward. Keep make great videos.

[@Military-Museum-LP]

In Europe these tele-handlers are used for everything. I had a Manitou and didn’t like it that much. Ours run 40 kph (most are regulated to 30) and its plenty fast for me.

[@BriansFarmingVideos]

Nice

[@kopenhagenkid]

Awesome looking unit Brian

I’d Love to have one

[@laurencegibbs2753]

The Q fit is for the factory pallet tines that slots through the headstock, good ish if you can cope with floating tines.

[@jdadelmeyer502]

TM420 is good machine we have one gets used daily had a TM320 before that loved it so universal what can be done with it. Radio will probably stay on to tho ours doesn’t shut off with the key only when shut the radio off itself.

[@plibb21]

there is a small local outfit near me, Driscoll Farms, uses those tela loaders to stack hay and straw. They ship the hay and straw interntationally with a press so you can imagine how much they use those.

[@_Ben4810]

Cup holder for a 32oz coffee mug....?!? From where that telehandler originates, that's considered a bucket of coffee...!!! 😉

The jcb stuff is great but as a massey ferguson nut I like the mf25 teliporter. It's getting a bit long in the tooth but I still love using it!

[@1957Free]

Thanks for sharing your time

[@cwb6739]

On some equipment the power doesn't completely shut off on the key because of the ad blue system needs to run its clean out cycle then once the cycle completes it shuts off the power. Not sure if that's the same with the jcb.

[@lancedever5633]

Nice walk around on the telehandler. I wondered if you would be happy trying to use it as a loader. You are going from a 6000 lbs unit to a 9000 lbs unit you should be happier with it. Must have got a six speed transmission. Enjoy your videos!

Those TM are a good loader. Only thing I don’t like is looking around the boom to dump.

[@michaelbayless5691]

I actually like jcb I work commercial masonry and are skytraks are non stop all day they are tough

[@imajudgetoo]

Miss-information the construction equipment runs all day. We use them on a wind farm and they run 70-90 hrs a week. They run more then your combines do. Just a heads up

[@BriansFarmingVideos]

Damn man sorry telling what I was told from a dealership

[@imajudgetoo]

Just telling fact. Been a union equipment operator for over 30 years. I am not a farmer at all

[@trevnsarah]

Ur going to love the tm over here a lot of contractors use them to buckrake silage into the clamp so that will give u an idea of how hard u can work them.

[@oldtireman4665]

Bob sure does love to play in the dirt! New piece of equipment, I guess ya gotta get a little mud on the tires.

[@tylercummings6030]

Did you sell your old JCB to Mayer farm equipment? I swear I saw it in there lot. Plus it was from American equipment. Looks exactly like yours to.

[@stijnjilesen673]

And now you can't see your palletfork at all from the driverseat... We have a similar Schäffer as the tm 420, but next time it's going to be a telehandler again. Much easier to get in and out. Better visibility from the cab. Just the boom up or down. We would go for a bigger model than yours though a 545-70 agrisuper would have been better for you as well. 6 gearbox, 40 km/h. Pulls a big load of straw bales as well. Great video though👍
