JCB backhoes awesome

[HKSawyer]

I wish there was a section devoted to JCB on this site. JCBs are built like tanks and stable. The power is unreal. Get off a JCB and onto another machine and you yearn for the JCB. It will spoil you. This was my 97-98 214 Series III 4x4 with 4 in 1 bucket and extradig. I would rather have this type of machine than any other.

What I like about JCB is all of their products show someone is back there thinking when they're designed. It's not like they pull a competitor's product and make a dead on copy.

The have unique products that have the operator and job in mind.

I do love my JCB165HF. When I was shopping I read where the old boy that JCB is named after had the first loader backhoe back in 1948. They're known as the Caterpillar of Great Britain.

My sons and I were poking around a Cat 416 TLB the other day and I believe the VIN plate said it was made in Great Britain. Any chance those are made by JCB for Cat? Sweet machine HK /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

There's more than a dozen going up for auction by the State in a week or so. They seem to buy them frequently. I wasn't interested, but you're making me. I'll see what they are.

Yes,
The JCB backhoes are the best. They are built for the long haul. I have a 1980 model and it runs like new. Of course it only has 600 hours on it.
I love it but need something smaller.
I don't know how to attach a picture. If someone could help, I would be glad to.
Thanks
