information on jcb brand loaders

[barracane]

excuse me if I ask you this trivial question, in my part you use equipment and equipment used but still working, this said I want to specify that the British brand Jcb are used or backhoe and mini excavators for small road construction sites, in my opinion are movement machinery efficient and reliable earth as performance durability robustness. the big loaders, those used to extract aggregates in quarries or in large sites for excavation excavations or to load industrial vehicles or to feed plants for inert processing, there is no trace for large loaders mechanical loaders for large excavators, what can you tell me on the performance of these earth-moving machines? which the best specimens such as the best series. keep in mind that in my part the excavators reach a maximum of thirty tons as tonnage loaders wheel loader maximum three cubic meters bucket capacity so that they can move freely in the street without being obliged to load them on special trucks or trailers dedicated to this specific transport. thank you

JCB do have a following over here, they sell a fair few loaders. However I think they are generally to large fleets (co part etc)

any serious quarys etc generally run other brands

Farmers seem to like the smaller ones as well.

The smaller jcb's are designed for silage clamp work
They have better power to weight ratios than other brands quicker hydraulics and the tip linkage geometry is designed to flick the grass quickly and they are available with 50k boxes however the things that make them good at clamp work can be a disadvantage in other areas

And the old jcb with the cab on the front part are a nightmare to drive so clumsy and awkward in comparison to cab on rear part

A farm I worked on years ago had an old one, was interesting trying to reverse it up the feed pass the first time.

in the dim and distant past, when I used to fit and service Tiretrac protection chains, in many of the various quarries around here and all over, it was C@T everywhere ..... don't think I ever fitted a set to anything else, right up to IIRC 988s ..... they were bloody big chains on some immense wheels ....... got to drive some very interesting gear

I dont think volvo go that big do they ??

All the aggregate and waste centres round here are volvo shovels but as big as they seem parked next to a pickup that beast would dwarf them

used to do a lot of 966s ---- were everywhere

probably more the size people are thinking of .... lasted forever and never stopped moving.....unless I was there to sort their chain repairs

I used to work for the Volvo dealer so i'm a bit biased but Volvo do make brillant loaders...... possibly the best. Of course Cat make a lot of loaders too, and there good. The older ones had less refined cabs than the Volvos of the same era. Cat certainly had a big following in south wales when i was there, and Walters had some of the biggest. Worked on there 992Ds, which were the newest they had at that time. They are a big loader!! Swapped 4 wheels one day, and the air gun wasn't there/working! 48 large nuts on each wheel all cracked off with an Inch breaker bar....... yes i slept well that night
Also swapped a trans on a weekend in cornelly quarry with the machine back up and working for monday morning...... the good old days

The first 988 I did was in Ogdens workshops in Otley, Aiden .... hadn't seen one before ... walked into their workshops, after having been dragged down the road, by a 966, in the firm I worked for's truck, after the fuel lines had frozen up over night, outside the place I'd been stopping in, to be confronted by this behemoth of a beast ..... No wonder I'd been given two days to mount and tension up these bloody chains.

The two on the truck, in crates were way over weight, for the Leyland Terrier ... had taken forever to get there the previous day .... and two more sat there already, for fitting to the slick tyres.

heated workshop and an overhead gantry .... this was going to be a treat ....
usually laid 'em out with the bucket and drove the machine on, fitted a mounting chain and dragged 'em up over the tyre, a wheel at a time ... knit 'em together, tension 'em, as best you could then go to the next wheel ...
not that day thank God ... bloody wheels must've been 12 ft in diameter .... laid the pair out with the gantry in front of this monster....rolled it on, attached the mount chains and round they came as a pair, sweet as!! .... had 'em knitted and ready to roll in an hour .... same story on the back wheels, then got to drive the beast around their yard for ten minutes to settle 'em in ready to give 'em a full dogging up .... was finished by lunchtime and yon C@T was pushing 9t heavier

with so much time to spare, one Oggie's guys gave it a good thraping round their yard again and I dogged 'em all up again .... left the truck in their heated workshop over night, 'cos by jeez it were a cold ol' day and was on me way home next morning. Boss was well surprised to see me back that afternoon.

they were a bitch to mount and fit if you didn't get 'em laid out right, first off, 'specially on some shitty quarry floor, but get 'em right and they were a POP .... when you had the drop on 'em

Did you ever get into Aberthaw Aiden? ..... what a s**t hole that was ..... a vast hole

in my parts only used cars fiat allis fiat, fiat hitachi, fiat kobelco, as excavators some used caterpillar komatsu, volvo bm old them used a concrete producer of the area to feed inert plant, we use a lot of caterpillar shovels old caterpillar series kc, from my parts still use flint and the club, who knows when the civilization and the age of the iron will come fire, still men of Neandertal moi southern Italians,
we extract stones in the prehistoric quarry of the, Flintstones
