Is the backhoe loader a thing of the past?

One of these. A 4cx pro with pretty much every spec option you can have. Plus its a Millionth special edition which gives you yellow rams, buckets and cab, LED headlights off the Ag Spec telehandlers, and extra worklights on the boom. Plus some details in the cab.
Well I’ve no idea how I missed this 😂

Best of luck with it, if I wasn’t sat on one site for 6months+ I’d be going backhoe again I’m sure!
Torn on the whole 3cx/4cx thing..not sure which way I’d go, because personally I never felt the 3cx lacking in anyway. The new front quick hitch setup is something I’m keen to get eyes on and have ago with, just need JCB to invite me over to have ago oneday. And the new hydraulic control system looks very smooth and precise - something they have genuinely struggled with for nearly 20 years now!

Hey, as I’ve said before , there is a market for a well made replica of a 40 year old machine . (Think Tafe). Sadly it will probably be horrible Alibaba s**t
I'd say the Hanomag ad is early '80,s -- 'poverty' 2.3 SD1 behind it and look at the motor on the Wacker plate :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: .. somewhere in Europe, judging by the trailer:rolleyes:

Are you sure it's an sd1, I'd of said looks more like cortina mk5
you may well be right ..... key hole in the door - SD's were in the handle - could also be a MkII Granny 2.3

was at an ex-pupil's garage this morning--called by for a coffee and catch up and he had a Mk1 Cortina convertible in for a service ..... I could not believe how tiny it was :oops: - my first car was a Mk1 Cortina 1500GT, in 1974
