Wow Lostalot, and here I thought most of the world's criminals were in the U.S. government. :laughing:
I hope you get the correct equipment, and hold those ruffian's feet to the fire.

It is a purty machine, but hopefully when you get that new Shibaura in, it will look even better!!

@ Dr Zinj
I just hope that this dealer comes good on his promise of a full refund as I have had a gutful

What is a Leinback Middlebuster? ( sounds a bit like my first wife)

Dang, and the loader they put on has a self-leveling bucket. Too bad it's so wimpy. Good luck!

Looks like two cylinders too. Looks like it may even be a more expensive loader than the Kubota, but the linkage looks like it puts the bucket out further making it weaker and less stable.

Hello all,
further info has just come in which there has been some changes to machinery specifications for use in Australia, firstly all loaders must be self levelling , loaders used for lifting via slings etc must have hoseburst protection
devices fitted and there is more but no one is up to speed yet.

We had a mechanical self leveling loader on our Case CX80 and finally scrapped all of the linkage we could remove. It helped, but had no where near the power of our M8540.

Some years back I put from new 4000 hrs on a JCB 3CX, after 600hrs it started to lose lift strength and was stuttering both front and back and degraded further until all of the poppit valves were replaced along with the pumps. It turned out that each country's distributor / dealer could specify the type of pumps to be fitted and of course our mob down under went for the cheapy chinese units which fell to bits and because the plumbing was specific for the pump type you could not swap and mix between good and bad pumps . It also explained why some JCB backhoes were rated for 750 kg
over the forks and others at 1500kg.

I notice all these generic make FEL on BX and B3200 when I
looked at Nambour on an open day last month . They had 3 different
FEL on BX's on the yard.
Apparently the loader on the JD X748 mower is now banned here ......
as you've pointed out w.r.t. levelling.
It's a ***** when you don't get what you want , which is why I
pay by bank cheque upon delivery , and hand over when tested
and happy.

In my case I was a bit too trusting and paid for it.....On advice returning the machine for refund (promised ) was leaving myself open for more dramas so I am hanging on to it for now,it is a very easy thing to operate and where it would take five hours and 18 ltrs of fuel on the JD L110 it took only two hours and about six ltrs to mow our 3.5 acres with the 2360 (60" mmm) so
a sizeable improvement. Also it handles our goat country well . A mate in
the engineering game has some expertise in the new OHS regs and with some different tyres and removing the mm deck for loader work we can up the lift
rating by 80 kgs,so food for thought.Regards

@ Orange Ridge

I paid by bank cheque but the bank would not stop it as it was regarded as a dispute between myself and the dealer,I originally wanted to pay eftpos but that would have incurred a $300.00 surcharge from the dealer regards
