Have run JCB loadalls for years here in the UK. Currently have a 541-70 Agri Super and a 541-70 Agri Pro. If you can justify it, go for the Agri Pro. The transmission swithches from hydrostatic to torque converter over a certain speed, meaning for yard work it is a dream with barely no need to use the brakes, whereas with a Super standard torque converter, you're always on the brakes and after a while a servo goes and they become numb. Also there is a huge difference in hydraulic cycle times between ours, although there is a few years difference between models.

[@tomlinnett5245]

Brilliant machines. You will wonder how you lived without one, once you get used to it.

Is there mirror envy among other trucks against Dodges?

Before you pull the trigger see if you can test drive a JCB TM 320 or 420 their pivot steer telehandler if they're available in the US.

[@BriansFarmingVideos]

Would love one but unfortunately a bit out of our price range

[@derredriver]

@@BriansFarmingVideos I agree that the 420 is silly money we run a 2011 tm320 and it's unstoppable the only fault we found with it other than regular wear and tear was the fuel sediment bowl which JCB in there wisdom decided to make from plastic which distorted due to the heat in the engine compartment was only resolved when a new old stock glass bowl was found

They are a very popular machine here in the UK but there are other manufacturers with competitive machines - the main ones are Manitou and Merlo but also CAT and Terex as well as others are available. As usual the principle points are dealer support and regular routine maintenance. A common issue is that there are often lots of operators but no one assumes or is delegated responsibility for the necessary maintenance.

[@Harvsmtb]

We live in Australia and we buy 4 at a time every few years in the uk and ship them over bc it’s cheaper over there than Aus and make 500k profit selling them too the dealers

I ate at Der Dutchman a year and a half ago when we were in Ohio, I was making those "Old Man" noises when we left!

[@charlierogers1500]

It always amuses me watching Americans talking about telehandlers, they are pretty much essential here in the UK, we run an old Manitou MLT 627. I'm not sure how popular Manitous are in America as its a French company but would certainly be interesting to see one out there. Most UK farms don't have silos/bins so we use the telehandlers to load up semi grain trailers.

[@BriansFarmingVideos]

Interesting. Good to know.

We just took delivery of our second JCB 532 70 agri and love it so far! We only have 20 hrs on her. Sounds like the parts back in the states is slow(at least the comments say that). We have only had few issues with ours and to be honest for taking dairy farmers abuse its served us well. Mainly changed it over because the trade-in on the old machines with 5000hrs was quite good for the condition of the machine. Really nice machines for loading we use it for TMR 365 i know lots of farms that use them for loading hay and fert and replaced there frontends loader completely. Thanks for the video

[@catchup4430]

Before you buy a JCB Tele handler you need to go out to KZbin website Western truck and tractor repair last year he fixed a transmission in a Tele handler and it cost a fortune and parts are hard to get go out and look at that U2 website I wouldn’t on a JCB because a part accessibility they use Tele handler‘s to stack 1800 pound square bales In these big barns to feed cattle and feed lots in southern Oregon and Northern California it’s a very interesting video he’s got several on repairing JCB tell handler’s

[@catchup4430]

And if I remember correctly western truck and tractor repair he said those people that run JC B’s they only get 3000 to 3400 hours out of a transmission you need to go watch the video and listen to it and he tells y’all about them because he has several feedlot that have them and they are in the process of going to something else because I don’t hold up

[@noahmurphy5366]

They need to be stopped with the brakes. Flicking from forward to reverse just screws them. That's the same for any torque converter type transmission. Someone mentioned a mixed type of transmission on newer models which is definitely something I would look out for. Transmission rebuilds are expensive but totally a driver issue. Only ever done one transmission here over 3 machines and thirty years running them. Probably close to 40k hours put on those machines.

[@noahmurphy5366]

It would take some modification of trailers but a standard feature on teleporters in this part of the world is a pickup hitch. Euro type tractor hitch. Those handlers have a decent towing capacity. Load on enough seed for the day for both seeders onto the trailer and keep both tended. Hookup takes seconds.

Don’t do it!!!!

We had one, two neighbors had them, all of us got rid of them. Nothing but junk.

[@BriansFarmingVideos]

Idk seems like people either love them or hate them. They have a good reputation around here and the dealer seems to also have a good reputation

[@peteparker7396]

There is a large dealership in our area that did well for a while. But the problem persists with parts, odd assemblies. It’s like they are mixed and matched with nothing uniform. A guy who I know that works in the shop tells me how the booms warp and then the pins and bushings wear out. We tried but after nothing but two years of problems we got rid of ours. Other then people from Europe I’ve never heard from anyone personally that has had any luck with them. We traded ours for a CAT and it’s a work horse that gets used every day.

I think its worth mentioning. JCB have factory's within America. More than one i believe. They not only supply machines they design them also. Look it up on the net. They make specialized Telehandlers for US military for some years now. So parts may be easier to acquire now. Worth asking the questions.

[@joernd8449]

Get an older skytrak (early 2000's) ,they are built like tanks without all that electric over hydraulic crap. We put thousands of hours on them on commercial masonry job sites that were usually a muddy mess ( north west PA in the winter)with minimal maintenance. They are powered by 4bt cummins and would lift more than they are rated for. The biggest thing is it's not a JCB.

Brian what do you got a look at is your initial investment numbers don’t lie you probably spent $10,000 for the diesel option if not more how many miles you got to drive it to get that $10,000 back plus the cost of the fuel and gas and diesel like I told you I ran the numbers on 200,000 miles on a dodge Cummins and it was a losing proposition you were put money into it do you have a gas mileage if you look at it compared to a diesel is a big difference the back when I was farming the only thing that made diesel appealing was too thanks safety because the flashpoint of diesel and diesel was five cents a gallon and gas was $.10 a gallon so diesel paid that’s why John Deere went to diesels in thereForest for the woods
