JCB Teleskid Demo And Review!

[@danielb516]

just getting out the side is a total win for me . Not falling out the front and hurting myself alone is worth it . also if you got something in front of you like an auger or forks you can still get out . With that boom extending just makes it amazing . its on my top of the list machines to buy .

[@mannfamilyfarms381]

Once you operate one of these you’ll never go back to any other skid brand. Side door alone is worth it! The tele boom is an added bonus!

[@randybennett5417]

The JCB, just is top of the line for skidsteers.

[@mannfamilyfarms381]

I hope so!

[@KNJensen]

That right side view would be easily fixed with a roof mounted camera, if you really need to see all around. Like, if you were moving inside a barn for cleaning out manure, you could put a camera on, and position it so that you can see the right track. 😊

[@mannfamilyfarms381]

That wouldn’t be a bad idea!

[@bfd1565]

JCB make a solid product...

[@seeker1432]

Theres always haters in the coments. But if you want some real time on that machine, Check ou How farms work. The guy has the same one for 2 years and it's the his main machine around his farm. He hasn't been gentle with it and uses daily. From stacking bales to levelling. Even carrying trees.

[@mannfamilyfarms381]

Yes I've seen all those videos! Watching his was another reason we wanted to try it

[@valleyviewacres9120]

I run a cattle operation in Canada A skid steer would be so handy from grubbing trees on the field edges to feeding to snowplowing to fencing....., those are just things I can think of before I had my first cup of coffee. But I had a stroke when I was 15.., it paralyzed my left side motor function. I got the big muscles (leg biceps and such.) but my left hand never got back to well......., ever time I see a skid steer I look to see how driving that thing with one hand would be. that left stick would be the drive correct? is it real touchy? If I could ever find one that had the drive control on pedals or on the right side with loader control on the pedals Id be hard pressed no to buy one LOL

[@mannfamilyfarms381]

Man sorry to hear that. But pulling trees and snow plowing are actually the biggest things we want a skid loader for! Yeah would be interesting to see if there was a company that made one that could be run like that

[@valleyviewacres9120]

@@mannfamilyfarms381 you would think there's got to be a way to fit even a mount on that handle that could transfer pressure from your good hand. I guess it would need to keep the buttons open. What are those switches on the left stick controlling?

[@springer3783]

Has the tele skid now made the traditional skid steer obsolete? Is the telescopic boom now going to be the norm going forward

[@mannfamilyfarms381]

All I can say is I don’t think I would want anything other than the telescoping boom now (JCB). That extra 3-4 ft is huge and you don’t realize it till you don’t have it. As far as the machine itself goes, I really like the JCB, there are just a few little things that need improvement!

[@milesboehmer9969]

You had a empty bucket ,looking at dump truck ,what if your bucket was full , how’s the tipping point as you raise?

[@mannfamilyfarms381]

It’s really good. Doesn’t tip and plenty of clearance to get it up and over. The thing is heavy and grounded very well. The tracks help a lot with that

[@zcole6612]

We ran one on a demo a couple of years back did you notice any bucket twist on the loader frame when cutting grade on dirt or did they get that issue fixed

[@mannfamilyfarms381]

No it was solid. When you get it way out and up it sways a little

[@thelunatick1993]

Need to add flags to the unload chain.

[@jackjmaheriii]

Does anyone know if you can get a backhoe attachment for this thing???

[@mannfamilyfarms381]

Not sure about that… probably lol

[@jackjmaheriii]

I’m sure you could get one of the generic ones that hooks to the front plate, but if you could get one that could be operated from inside the cab, that would be sweet!

[@bryceholt3163]

we bought our JCB 2ts7t teleskid new from Reuters equipment in Elkhart Iowa and nobody here has ever seen such a poorly designed terribly engineered skidsteer we questioned why it didn't have skid plates or anything to seal the body and we noticed 1 track was loose on the demo sales man was very dismissive and kept on about the great resale Value well sure enough the tracks constantly derail and come off the lifetime warranty loader arm bent to the point that it has broken out the side window twice and they won't warranty it the body packs full of mud in less than a shift to the point that the ac plugs and quits working the automatic lock down cylinder in the attachment plate has snapped off 7 times in less than a year and the great resale value has dropped from 69k to 39k in less than a year

[@mannfamilyfarms381]

Wow… not a good experience

[@adamjech4609]

How does a man who is even considering looking at something as progressive as a JCB still live with himself while running a row crop header????

[@mannfamilyfarms381]

Row crop heads a very progressive. Imagine a 12 or 16 row folding… 🤔

I just bought a JCB 250T which is basically the same machine without the telescoping feature. Aside from all the obvious advantages, it has a great engine. JCB's own engine. It's big and torquey, will work at lower rpm, 4.4 liter, 5 1/4" stroke. NO DEF, NO DPF, NO REGEN.

[@mannfamilyfarms381]

NO DEF 🙏🏻

[@cliffordkastner8880]

I bought a JCB 2T . DO NOT BUY ONE!!! I love the cab, I love the tele boom arm. But as a dirt working machine, buy a shovel and a rake. The loader doesn't have the hydraulics to lift and curl at the same time. When lifting a load the arm drops 3 to 6 inches as you stop it. The travel modes on the control are super super super jumpy, you are going to be running into stuff. I am totally not happy with this machine. The salesman and mechanics have been here several times trying to make corrections and change percentages on controls, they hauled it back to their shop and call JCB, they hauled it back and said, "sorry that just how it is". They said they're going to let me try another machine ( the 3T ) and see if I like it better.

[@mannfamilyfarms381]

Well we already purchased the 3TS-8T. So far it’s been good.

How would the telescoping boom do with a hydraulic attachment? Is there a way to make that work other than having 5 feet of extra hose dangling

[@mannfamilyfarms381]

The couplers you would hook onto are built Into the boom and telescope out with it. So there no extra hoses dangling, it’s just like any other skid loader

[@tomburton1037]

Hi Mark, I've had my 3TS8T for about 18 months. I've had Deere and Gehl in the past but I like the JCB better. I have a Quick Attach 8' power rake and it handles it well. You do not extend the boom because you're hooked to the high flow and electrical on the machine. I have a grapple that I hook on the auxiliary on the extended boom. I really like how I can reach out and use the grapple while keeping logs and limbs further away. There are no hoses dangling. One set of hydraulic connections is on the extendable boom and the other is stationary on the boom that doesn't extend.
