As an Engineer at JCB here in uttoxeter, seeing you guys appreciate our product (a product I had the pleasure to work on for a few months), fills me with a lot of pride. great review, great handover from tyler there too, BLOW MY MIND

[@peterppp694]

JCB are not reliable. You must work harder.

[@Wolfiecolada]

@@peterppp694 in what ways?

[@jimplimkin4026]

JCB is the heart and sole of our specialized excavation company. we do septic systems, natural gas, propane mains and underground lines. Water mains underground water lines, geothermal, heat fusion repairs. JCB is king, thank you sir for your work at JCB

[@stevenandrews6627]

Just discovered your channel. Good job. With regards to the JCB product line. Like you, I was somewhat skeptical when I first came across a JCB CTL a few years back. A short time latter, I had the opportunity to operate one of their skid-steers at a friends job site. Within a half hour, I was so impressed with it that within 3 weeks, I leased my own. I now own 3 JCB teleskids. I also own 2 JCB site dumpers and just recently purchased their new 100C-2 (10 ton) excavator with the new 4 way push blade. With it's off-set boom and that new blade, it's a dream to operate. I find that for some reason, JCB is kind of the construction industry's best kept secret. I'm an out spoken advocate for the JCB product line. Most of the time, when I chat with someone who trash talks JCB, they've never operated any of their equipment. Theirs is truly an uninformed opinion.

[@thylacine1962]

Years ago I worked for an earth works company in Adelaide Aust.. Backhoes mostly. We had Massey's John Deer, Case, Cat & JCB. The JCB's just keep going. Hard to break em. All the other brands spent time in the fixit shop, Cat was the worst offender. The mechanics new Cat inside and out, they spent so much time on them. When a JCB finally came in with a broken pin, the mechanics fixed the pin & spent the rest of the day familiarising them selves with it in case they ever had to do extensive repairs. They had an incredible performance record over 30 years ago.

[@allied1394]

Jcb has come a long way their new lineup across the board is amazing. Love their new skidsteers to game changers

[@Neg_Ice]

Great review, would be cool if you had went through serviceability and the engine also would be cool if they let you demoed one of their backhoes with vertical stabilizers to do a comparison to the style the cat uses. JCB is one of my favorite construction companies. Congrats on the new truck, Blow my mind

Blow my mind! JCB has been growing on me for the past few years, always been a cat man but these days more people are releasing higher quality things. More options is always a good thing keeps making machines better for the operators!

[@KenWhiteConstruction]

You are so right. It’s about the operators now and the cab and comfort as well as other things like fuel and hydraulics and power. Great comment

[@vincentspratling365]

Hi Ken. They fantastic machines. I have been down to Rocester, England and done the tour of the factory has it's only two hours drive from my house.

[@ryanknipstein675]

That's great, I've run komatsu and cat for 16yr and have had the chance to run a jcb mini in the last couple years, and haven't been disappointed! I started with the same instinct as you and can't find much negative to say. From operator or mechanical pov. I think they're a real contender

[@jackpinnell3204]

"Blow my mine!" I've been a JCB fan for about 10 years due to running one of their skidsteers on a jobsite. The side entry door was a big game changer for me on the skid steer. Then they came out with the teleskid and that was another game changer! Now I'm in the market for an excavator and JCB is top of my list!

[@shawnsmith4463]

Blow my mind! Its nice to try new equipment...im used to a bobcat. Since my dads a dealer lol worked monster jam and arena cross and they had me in a brand mew cat....jesus like a million times better but still found some flaws...keep em.coming bro!

[@Olliegunns]

JCB have really stepped up their game with the new X series. But then so have CAT so they were due an upgrade. They get a lot of bad press but my experience is they run fast and the backup is very good if you do get an issue. So cant complain really. Good review. We need more honest reviews of plant on youtube.

[@Yuno-1549]

Blow My Mind!!! nice to hear that jcb builds their own engines

[@Reggieuk97]

Just found your channel. Great vid. Nice to hear good things about JCB's. For some reason they seem to get a bad rap in North America which I find astonishing. They are brilliant machines..

[@christopherkennedy314]

Watching from Scotland. JCB excavators are the most common machines in the UK. Great improvemens with the X-Series compared to the older JS-Series previous. It is also availible in a 14 tonne excavator. Check out the JCB HYDRODIG wheeled excavators

[@KenWhiteConstruction]

Will do.

[@scottwhitley3392]

I’m glad that I’m seeing more and more JCB, excavators, tractors, tele-handlers, and skid/steers in use today in the U.K.

[@amolson8594]

I follow a few farming channels down in the US where they have demo JCB teleskids, seem like nice units as well. Would love to see you demo a JCB 4CX-15 SUPER backhoe. I think they look badass. If I win the Lottomax I'd get one and just dig holes at my cottage for fun.

[@kallutin]

Little bit late but, blow my mind :) Hello from Finland. I just found your channel and it is very interesting to a digger man. This JCB video was very good info for me too. I have always been skeptical these JCB machines, but last year i test drive JCB 145 wheeled excavator and it was the best wheeled excavator that i ever driven. Planing to replace my Kobelco sk 230 to a new machine and thinking JCB 245 X is one option. Just wondering, how the hydraulic will work with tiltrotator. Here in Finland you dont see any excavators like under 30 tons without tiltrotations. Tooth bucket is also history, i used my own like 4 years a go. Really happy that you tell important specs from a machines like a fuel economy, because for me its means a lot. Starting this weekend to view these videos.

[@CRIZZY131]

I work at the factory were these are built and they are a good machine

[@James-kb5qi]

I like the layout of the cab the Volvo ec480el that I run. It is a pain in some areas like the a/c. Still haven't been able to figure out how to get cold air and a lot of regeneration problems. Blow my mind

[@Gabe_Colon]

Always love the videos and instagram posts!!!!!!

[@benjaminredecop1402]

You should definitely demo a new hitachi. I run them everyday and I absolutely love them. Would really like to hear your opinion. Blow my mind

[@CDFJCB]

JCB will be a touch better in most areas but hitachi running the Isuzu engine is a key point. Even though the JCB engines have been great for us we never touch the Isuzu engine!

[@bigfarmingman]

This jcb is beautiful I hope to get one like it more less mine x

Great Channel, I only do demolition work. Depends on what State and County you are working in when it comes to landfills. Some landfills will take everything. Farther you get from civilization the more they will take. I found areas that do not even recycle.

[@roballen-ez8uw]

Blow my mind....that JCB was more impressive than I thought as well,never been in one & never really cared to either but they seem to have a put some thought & quality in their design( must of had an operator design the cab & controls not an engineer lol) like to see a review of a Case machine pop by Brissons' place off the hwy & talk him into loaning you some equipment for a bit lol! Or was he the reason you couldn't post the clip of the Case stuff awhile ago? Cheers!

[@michielvorster53]

JCB actually makes some great equipment. We only have JCB backhoes

[@matthiasgraveel9191]

Jcb one of my favorite to work with definitely the new series

[@pbadach1468]

Working on it right now. Lots of improvement with buttons fancy screen and wee fridge. But whats most important for an operator is a comfy seat and room in a cab. Less room for a legs even fully back the cab is smaller im on 14tonner. The top of the seat os weirdly bent backwards so to rest your head jou need to bent yoir neck back. Just wander if any of designers try spend 10h in it.

[@erickmontes4975]

Can anybody tell me where to switch the contol pattern on this particular machine

We have a 20 year old JCB 940 rough terrain forklift that still runs great. Have heard some people gripe about JCB quality and the electronics failing but our old fork has been 100% reliable. Blow my mind.

[@scoobyears01]

Your old 940 is mechanical, that's why its still running, the newer electronics fitted to jcb's are junk and kill the machine.

Mr Churchill My Dad just replaced his 257 Cat with a 190T JCB. His reason was for the side entry cab. The visibility is better than others,almost like what you get in a front end loader. The only knock is you have to lean forward to see your attachment close to the ground.

I purchased a JCB 3CX14 backhoe a few years ago...it was a very nice hoe, but i went through 5 DEF head sensors...I had to fight with them to cover the 4th and 5th DEF heads that failed because it was no longer under any warranty, but they eventually admitted that the DEF heads have been faulty and replaced them under warranty. I like their products but i probably wouldn't buy one again unless they ironed out that issue.

They started production of the 4.4L around 2006. The very first ones had Delphi fuel pump that the gear slipped on the shaft putting timing off. Was a pretty simple fix but time consuming. As soon as Delphi realized there was an issue they fixed it and JCB stood behind the ones that were already in machines. It has replaced the Perkins 4.4L. The JCB has much better cold starting and low end torque. And has had way better longevity. The 4.4 is up there with the Komatsu and Isuzu for longevity.
