JCB 1CXT Best Thing Since Sliced Bread? Only Machine in the World Like It

[@johnbayliss1098]

Very much enjoyed the program I've always liked that I've always liked the 1cx thank you

Looks like an interesting machine, running a backhoe in an orchard can be tricky at times. Some backhoe “experts” get triggered when they see a modified orchard backhoe for some reason. Still remember seeing the first JCB at the farm show as a kid with my dad and hearing they it would go 40 mph. Now years later I am starting to see them pulling silage trailers and it would be on the list for a number of harvest jobs.

Yeah there is an outfit with a few 8330's pulling those 3 axle trailers running around. Not sure who it is though. Makes a lot of sense, no more truck reg, truck insurance, no DOT, and no class a required

[@aaroncover2762]

Frank Borba Chopping and In-n-Out Ag Service run the 8330’s with the tri axle silage wagons.

Greetings! I've had a 1CXT for about a year now. I love it. FYI - when you are doing bucket / skid steer work (~21:50) there is a dial near your right knee which essentially puts you in a equivalent of "lower gear", you have it all the way to the left which basically equates to rabbit. Also, for any given revs, a smaller push on the stick equates to a lower gear and more effective grunt to the ground. This took me quite a while to figure out and seemed counterintuitive at first. Anyway, just a bit more info. Cheers!

I guess what comes around goes around. I remember back in late fifties and through the sixties Small crawler HighLift's with rear backhoe were common. Case, John Deere, and even Cat and Allis Chalmers had them as options. Then they disappeared. Nice unit, we have four JCB Tele-skids. TGP

Wow very interesting thanks

[@larrymorgan3769]

Why don't you use a auger on your skid steer?

[@cyclesingsleep]

Thank you! I have similar thoughts...almost wanting to purchase, but I want it quieter, less twitchy, and more powerful.

Ok cool now I know how to plans almond trees!

[@thewrenchreviews9986]

Hmmm...get rid of the backhoe in favor of a counterweight then add telescoping arms on the loader end with a hydrolic attach on the front. Then it could be something.

[@bobbyjfarms3681]

@thewrenchreviews9986 so basically a teleskid lol. This is an enteriely different machine for a different purpose. It is not a compact track loader. Lots of options if someone is looking for a CTL
