Have you had any problem with the pivot on the backhoe leaking oil? We have had JCB backhoes in the early 80s and never had a problem. I bought the JCB 1CXT backhoe, love the versatility of the machine, But, in one year it has been in the shop 5 times at two different JCB dealers trying to fix the oil leak on the pivot for the backhoe. They have to wait for parts and or they have to call JCB to tell them how to fix it. They told me if it was not under warranty I would be paying $10,000 to $15,000 to fix it each time. I have put 1200 hours on the backhoe and I was told I use the machine too much. I just got the machine back again from the shop and it is leaking oil the first day. I told them I need a new machine because this is a lemon and I was told this will never happen. I wanted to trade this machine in for a cat skid steer and they only want to give me $34,000. I can't afford this machine when it is out of warranty.
Greetings! I've had a 1CXT for about a year now. I love it. FYI - when you are doing bucket / skid steer work (~21:50) there is a dial near your right knee which essentially puts you in a equivalent of "lower gear", you have it all the way to the left which basically equates to rabbit. Also, for any given revs, a smaller push on the stick equates to a lower gear and more effective grunt to the ground. This took me quite a while to figure out and seemed counterintuitive at first. Anyway, just a bit more info. Cheers!
Hmmm...get rid of the backhoe in favor of a counterweight then add telescoping arms on the loader end with a hydrolic attach on the front. Then it could be something.
@thewrenchreviews9986 so basically a teleskid lol. This is an enteriely different machine for a different purpose. It is not a compact track loader. Lots of options if someone is looking for a CTL
I guess what comes around goes around. I remember back in late fifties and through the sixties Small crawler HighLift's with rear backhoe were common. Case, John Deere, and even Cat and Allis Chalmers had them as options. Then they disappeared. Nice unit, we have four JCB Tele-skids. TGP
Looks like an interesting machine, running a backhoe in an orchard can be tricky at times. Some backhoe “experts” get triggered when they see a modified orchard backhoe for some reason. Still remember seeing the first JCB at the farm show as a kid with my dad and hearing they it would go 40 mph. Now years later I am starting to see them pulling silage trailers and it would be on the list for a number of harvest jobs.
Yeah there is an outfit with a few 8330's pulling those 3 axle trailers running around. Not sure who it is though. Makes a lot of sense, no more truck reg, truck insurance, no DOT, and no class a required

Thank you! I have similar thoughts...almost wanting to purchase, but I want it quieter, less twitchy, and more powerful.
Ok cool now I know how to plans almond trees!
Very much enjoyed the program I've always liked that I've always liked the 1cx thank you

Frank Borba Chopping and In-n-Out Ag Service run the 8330’s with the tri axle silage wagons.
Why don't you use a auger on your skid steer?
