Dual Drive JCB Backhoe!

[BillybobLockwood]

JCB Has Dual Drive now!

WOW! Dead smart looking machine!

We have been buying huddigs, exclusively for this feature. If these make it to the USA, we will Likely be buying a 4CX Rather than another Huddig!

I learned the seat facing forward but the body twisted operating the rear method. Was 2nd nature. I would like a go in the ones equipped like that tho.

Yes, but it was one hell of a project. pulled the cab off, modified the braking system, reprograming the ECU for the dual accelerator and extra FNR Switch. installed the Engcon wheel steering.

all in it was a 20k project.

think you might be disappointed it is still essentially a uk thinking machine so smaller than the huddig and about 3-4 ton lighter i think

Jcb does not have the hydraulics like the huddig but then it’ll probably be half the price of a hudig

worth a try out though

I'm Kind of hoping for that to be honest.

Our Huddig is really nice for the pipe crew and on big jobs, but its an expensive machine to use for small city work, and builders.
