We take a look at the front forks, have a look at some of the abilities of the EasyControl and then move some soil. The JCB Backhoe is one of the better machines on the market currently and its easy to see why.
Thanks so much for showing the JCB machines , i am impressed with them watching operate them and tell about them , i have a JCB dealer a few miles from me here in the USA , i am in the market for a new backhoe loader i will consider the JCB`s .
Nice filmed angle there outside, sounds pretty nice and quiet in the cab really considering how messy and muddy it is outside there. Been so busy here making compost and working so have not been on much lately
Hi Scotty, glad you could join us ! Yes that's one of the reasons I like to do the vids as I have a lot of viewers from all over the world and it's good to show and discuss the differences of seemingly similar machines.
Ha ! A legend in my own lunchtime maybe... To be honest Lambert, I have been kind of answering the questions in my vids as I go along to demonstrate what people have been asking. I'm happy to do a dedicated Q&A if people want however.
Its so you can see clearly what you're doing rather than being blocked by the arm. if you want to work from a central position you simply release the hydra-clamp and move the arm across.
Nigel, the forks still slide across to varying widths from narrow to wide but I think it also helps with vision being in that locked away position rather than out wide.
Hey, I've always wanted to operator backhoes and excavators since I was young. I've had a few hours of experience on backhoes at diggerland. What CITB/CPCS do I need and I do get to be a licensed backhoe operator?
Go back to Diggerland and get it all out of your system. Then come home and find a job that is 9-5, indoors and with a good pension and health plan. F*ck the ol' diggers.
Still not convinced over that easy control you know, Stringing out concrete for kerbs and stuff. Lean over the back of the seat pick up a bucket full of concrete slew round I always had the bucket on the right hand side of the machine, Then you could position your bucket behind the string line and drive slowly forwards as well as shaking the bucket of concrete out. I suppose you can still do it but that bloody buzzer would be found and got rid of. But at least with sticks you can still move the front end as well as the back actor as well.
Yep - I think the EasyControl would suit us but I'm not convinced that it's advantages over standard sticks is that great because I can't see any way of walking the machine out of a hole... However, it's better than that poxy 'X' pattern that JCB have stuck with.
Thats a very good point I think. All I have ever operated is the x pattern, Used a few cats with servo's but never a Jake. But I am done with machines now as I have my class 2 LGV.

Hi Steven ! Glad you're enjoying the vids and I'm glad that you are getting some info from them.
Stay tuned buddy !
Those are some handy tips. That cab looks plenty comfortable.
There's worse places to spend a day David that's for sure !
Very cool video. I liked the explanation of the forks. A London ride along would be great!
Cheers Don I thought you'd appreciate that !
Cheers for answering my question Kurt! Not being rude not thanking you earlier but have been really busy and not had a lot of time for TH-cam!
No problem boy, I've been snowed under myself and am going to grab some time this week to catch up with some of the channels I like to watch.
looks a blooming handy idea having the controls on the armrests and the overide also for the odd jobb like you demonstrated
If used sensibly James then yes, it's very good.
Thanks for sharing another fantastic show 🍻cheers.
No worries ! Glad you enjoyed it.
Thats a great loader and operation tips.
Well if it helps someone all the better ! Glad you enjoyed it Lloyd.
Some traditional pan tiles, lovely!!!
Good vid,liked the different angles with the camera.
That's out there. Glad you liked it.
Great video!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
Nice one kurt 👍🏻
Cheers Tom, thought you'd like that.
spot on son I like your content I get it i do . that's why i sent you the little grey Ferguson song . i thought you my enjoyed it / Les .
This guy needs to team up with Daniel on youtube at ashville weekly. The two of them would be great together.
That's a neat trick with the 4 in 1 and the forks. PS Wade is sneaking over to the dark side (Stevie has built him a 661)
I've been following closely...!
I just started following you on Instagram, was your 100th follower 😄😎
Good old boy ! Cheers Dominic, when I get some stickers printed, I'll make sure you get one.
Would love that, cheers 👍

Yes it's a nice working environment in there.
I'm a new subscriber really enjoy watching your videos I amfrom Tennessee in the United States equipment here is quite a bit different

Nice machine
It's a decent machine for sure.
You making progress at your place ?
Lord Muck I'll be going down there for a couple weeks in the beginning of April going to be buying a brush hog and getting that land cleared off
Look forward to seeing that !
That's sweet right there
Thank you Scott. Hope you're well buddy.
WEATHER SUCKS WHEN IT STARTS TO RAIN
Haha Ain't that the truth Drew !
Another great vid in the life of a legend.
When is the q&a video getting released?
Ha ! A legend in my own lunchtime maybe...
To be honest Lambert, I have been kind of answering the questions in my vids as I go along to demonstrate what people have been asking.
I'm happy to do a dedicated Q&A if people want however.
That's cool. Keep up the good work. As well as the contracting do you farm your own too?
No, I only do stuff that pays.....;-D
Why do the back actor always be working from a clamped position of the right hand side of the JCB’s ?
Its so you can see clearly what you're doing rather than being blocked by the arm.
if you want to work from a central position you simply release the hydra-clamp and move the arm across.
Lord Muck yeah I get the reason for moving to the side, I was just wondering why always to the right side... so rare seen working on the left.
I assume it's like a habit - 360's having the boom to the right so you look down the left of the arm.
Shiny gloves!!
They're modelled on your head. You just thought they were bananas and got excited.
I've gone right off bananas for some reason.
I reckon they ruined your champagne and beer chaser
Is that why JCB moved the forks from outside the loader arms, to the center position?
They are preset at Euro Pallet width?
Nigel, the forks still slide across to varying widths from narrow to wide but I think it also helps with vision being in that locked away position rather than out wide.

They're the spares. Still got to go in to get some new ones ! Thing is I only need them for certain jobs so it's a pain.
Why its beeping?
It's the over-ride as I am facing forwards using rear controls.
@@LordMuck tnx,i am waiting for same machine.
