JCB, always looking for a better way.

I watched JCB's pot hole Pro machine working today in Recreation road in Longford Coventry. It was absolutely fantastic quick and efficient and the complete road was finished in less than six hours. Very innovated engineering from JCB Bravo.

[@matty_mcmattface]

Looks like a very impressive machine but the main thing I learned from this video is that if all road gangs worked as professionally and as efficiently as this off camera then the pothole problem would be much less to begin with.

[@dedge12858]

This is all very well but here in Nottinghamshire and neighbouring Leicestershire, contractors save a lot of time by not cutting out the loose edges of the pothole, not preparing the surface, not filling the hole properly and not compacting the finished repair. There's no way that machine can compete with that methodology.

[@svencorbyuk]

Same in North Northants 😮

[@pow1983]

Can we get a yearly update on the pothole? Thanks

[@philipmiller2227]

Great looking attachments on what is a horrible machine!

[@i_druth]

Having worked on the highways with my local council, and repairing pot holes I know first hand how labour intensive it can be and when news came of this I were interested in seeing it at work, having watched this lol I'll say that every council needs these :)

[@deanthornby2026]

If Boris gets his way we won't be driving for much longer ...if kluas swhab gets his way we won't have cars ... If bill gates gets his way we won't be alive to care ...

[@Supraboyes]

2 guys knowing their jobs have gone

[@MrWanDriver]

JCB Advanced heavy equipment 👍 good luck always. Greetings of friendship🤝

[@petergardner6756]

so many men and so many different machines, look at the Velocity system from Sunderland, same job half the time two men and one machine, it's a no-brainer!!

[@studebaker4217]

That isn't a pothole, it's a substantial repair. Most damaging potholes are 1 sqft, and the human would cope, but even this JCB wouldn't.

[@Lee.ELIXIR]

If you read up on it...or watch other demo vids....the machine has attachments and can deal with the small pots too. And faster, and with a longer lasting result. I can only judge our areas quality of repairs they do by hand....they don't even bother cutting a clean edge...or rarely dig out anything. They just pack a load of shite in...whacker plate it down.... And it's all washed out and broken...back to a lethal pothole again within a few weeks. Then it gets reported again...then months goes by and they return to do the same bullshit repair. Total false economy. Trouble is the council will use the cheapest contractors...and as all trades we know the saying....pay peanuts you'll get monkeys. Might as well fill the holes with peanuts or monkey shit. Probably last longer than the repairs around our area. Absolute JOKE

[@Theworshipkeeper]

Awesome machine! However I just wonder how many paid jobs this will replace.....

[@peepiepo]

@@Son-Of-Gillean It's not as if we are short of potholes to fill

[@1stinenergylimitedmdevelop533]

Tough shit They do half a job anyway Crap workmen ship

[@Theworshipkeeper]

@@1stinenergylimitedmdevelop533 its only going to be as good as the operator this time around...

[@WowCreativeUsername]

Oh no, the pothole will actually be fixed instead of them slopping some crap in and driving away.

[@lolorick5885]

More jobs were created in the engineering and contruction of this machine

[@JR-1983]

the manual version is not what iv seen...drop tarmac off the back of a truck and pat it down with a shovel more like.

[@MrBode5997]

I'm amazed,the finished job was actually level😅

[@pecheur1951]

12 square feet isn't a job for manual labour. Get a small milling machine and a road sweeper instead. The JCB is a handy tool though!

[@sappercod]

exactly that's more a comparison, but having everything on one machine can make it quicker

[@msdozer]

As always, a great calming video to enjoy.

[@wishihadit1200]

Let hope the companies that do a shockingly terrible job on the pothole repair go out of business and the machine rules

[@Nico-rw1uo]

Means that all these guys will loose their job??? If we have a look at this machine presentation video, this does not settle the pothole issues,??? The machine is faster, that's for sure, but both resolves the pothole , so what is the questioning of this test, .

[@SamMarshallCBx]

There are plenty of pot holes to go round!

[@freemindthinkerezrapound5071]

That's a hand picked special big open area what about a small country road near a bend the whole road would have to be closed down for that huge machine for one hole

[@Dude0000]

You’re right, scrap em, let’s stick to jackhammers!😂

[@sappercod]

yh close the road for 15 minutes, hardly a lifetime

[@Dilshodbek1991]

Uzbekistan

[@workman122]

Excellent news, there goes another few thousand jobs across the country. Don't tell me we can all retrain as software developers.

[@stratoreyener461]

you mean a few thousand less supervisors since all most do is stand around and take their time

[@jacobclaassen6565]

Sucks that we won't have workers breaking their backs using jackhammers 40 hrs a week? Seems like the type of job we'd want to eliminate. Plus construction is booming, another job won't be hard to find.

[@aidy6000]

The same arguements made by croppers and weavers 250 years ago

[@ramonamohammed6626]

Bull shit not good enough the muchine should lay the material and roll it with a steam wheel bellow the machine!

[@pqrstzxerty1296]

The "AI JCB PotholePro iCloud" will be the next big thing. Replacing even the driver. So all jobs lost.

[@spitfiretrading]

Bet the union backed lazy council employees love this thing not! They might actually have to do a bit (heaven forbid!).
