I have two jcb 270t both a year old. Jcb will not stand behind their warranty of the machines. We’ve paid out of pocket to replace and rebuild everything it seems including water pumps, hydraulic cylinders, pivot pin assemblies (4 times), faulty bushings in the lift arm, track tensioners, faulty wiring, quick connect motor and latch, hand-loose bolts (literally falling apart while working), reroute the exposed hydraulic lines on the arm, and both machines are parked now because they do not cool properly, both ac’s are not working and we’re only getting 30 minutes a day before they overheat . We’ve properly maintenanced what hasn’t been replaced 100% of it all, through the dealer even, until recently and had enough of the $7,000 invoices. We’ve planned to get into a couple ASVs as soon as we’re able to recover from 30,000+ in repairs in 11 months. Our first job with the 270t, one of the lines to the undercarriage ruptured and we lost most of the hydraulic fluid. The machine had 24 hours on it. We were grading a gravel driveway…. But hey it has good visibility 😂 Stay away from jcb compact track loaders
My Dad has had skid steers for years on his farm. At 82 though it wasn’t safe for him to climb over the bucket into his 257 Cat. We found a nice used 190T JCB and he is still able to use it!
I’ve owned two JCB’s, the first one was garbage, nothing but problems. I love the side door so I bought another, still had problems. JCB doesn’t make reliable machines anymore sadly. The JCB’s are also the lowest HP, lowest breakout force, lift capacity and operating capacity out of all brands but you sacrifice that with a mono boom. I moved on to a 299D2 which I just sold and ordered a C362...which smokes any JCB CTL in every way.
Tbf it doesn't matter which brand you have. They all break. I've owned cat for 15 years now and the best ones were 15 years ago. The new ones are crap and your still paying premium for the crap so it's not worth it
This not designed and built in the USA. It's a British machine/brand...which there's nothing wrong with that, just correcting what was said. New holland has better visibility than this machine (and all other machines) to the front and rear. This machine has better visibility to the left of the machine which doesn't really help much. The Single arm is a gimmick to make it look different, and to allow extension of the boom, but it's unnecessary and dangerous as you can easily change the center of gravity and tip forward, causing damage to everything
they are made in the us and the single arm boom has been production for almost 20 years and you if you think new holland has better viz you should sit in one first (im not a jcb owner )
Not misleading lol, it says overview and this is an overview. There are two other videos on my channel of the machine in use. The dump truck vid and the winter storage one.

Still got them machines?
Thanks for the heads up
Man I am sold on the side door. I have a fake hip crawling off the bucket on my bobcat sucks. I hope you do an update on how its holding up.

Nice machine.
How is it working, a review after a couple of months now would be great. Pros and cons

Really? JCB no good?

the 299D2 is like 30-50K$ more than the JCB
Operating the ac with the heating will not creating fog.
I learned that recently in my tractor cab, in the winter when you need heat, run a little ac with it. No fog, and still warm.
What’s the cost on that?
How much is a new unit?
What gvwr trailer are you using to haul that machine?
that trailer was too small
Was that fine figured redhead the delivery person? Cause if so I'm gonna look into a jcb soon
yes but she costs extra
Tell your brother how much you pay for it?? ( what state are you?)
I think it was $65,000. I got a good chunk off because I traded in my Case TV380
Quality nightmare…hated mine….back to CAT ….

You don't like it then,you obviously work for one of the competitors 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
11003.3 lb machine on a 12000lb trailer...
yeah I killed that trailer and sold it for pennies.
It's not designed and built in usa
100%, the steel and parts they claim are from usa though....still odd
Do a vid of you actually using it title is misleading

@@dirtdeals Put that thing in the dirt lets see it push something, you act like it's a forklift man.
@@likeaboss860 just got it end of this season. We have a few pole barns going up starting this spring and I'll upload more vids of it then
Jcb and case are the worst machines on the market. Good luck with resale
