These are just brilliant to watch

[@johnwebb223]

These old jcb videos are just fantastic 😊

I'm constantly impressed with the build quality of my 49 year old British made tractor. You guys definitely had hydraulic systems well sorted.

As a JCB nerd since 1977 I love watching these old movies. Brings back many happy memories of my dad. Thank you

You cannot beat the quality made by skilled craftsmen, but I am surprised they haven't made any graders by now.

[@paulnolan1352]

They don’t make Bulldozers either. They wouldn’t sell many dozers or graders I think.

[@Pembroke1]

@@paulnolan1352 There is a lot of competition in the market, but if you find the right niche, such as utility units for farms to remote locations (small to mid-size) it could work.

[@paulnolan1352]

@@Pembroke1 ok, but buying a grader is expensive and it is a specialised machine requiring an experienced operator to get the best out of the machine and the job. Most plant equipment companies here in the uk all have similar types of plant for hire and sale and this doesn’t seem to include graders. When the JCB film was made the company apart from one or two exceptions pretty much had the market covered with the well known 3c backhoe. Fast forward 45 years and it’s a different story.

There is an opening for a manufacture of any machine not sourced from China. Like many cat and John Deere are.

[@kennethhatcher5822]

Very good old film 👍

[@powerelevators7139]

Excellent

[@callancallum3110]

And that's why they last 30 plus years without being done up. And now they would just be flown threw a factor so of the new ones wount last 10 years. Love the videos

[@stan7468]

I don't know how I ever carried on before I knew these things 🤔

[@rhinohydraulics8504]

Beautiful video, but now a days it's difficult to maintain spares because of wide variety of the machine s.

Shame the machine’s all look similar today, JCB need more innovative ideas 💡
