JCB 800 series?

[V8Druid]

Correct Druid well spotted St Ives circa 1990, i sat there for ages watching him track those concrete sectoins up the beach.Also came across a Jcb 5c just outside of Boscastle that year working on a petrol station demolishing job.

was sat there in 2005 ..... ordering steel for a big job I had to start on when I went back ... wanted it to arrive on the Monday morning .... 'er indoors was none too happy - but had to be done ........" You brought work drawings with you ? !! " " Self employed Pam ... no one else is gonna do it for me "

One of my favorite places in the UK .... it just has something

Lol Shovelhands, thats what i used to do, until she eventually caught on to the fact i was tacking my camera and the 300 zoom lens ! Lol, i usually carry a camera in the car as you never know what you may stumble across when you are out ad about. Maybe we should ask The webmaster for a holiday plant snaps sub section !

Anyone noticed that second prototype in Druids pictures, The dipper and boom is from an 85//86 3cx even tha kingpost looks the same minus the slew pots.

Some unusual jcb prototypes out there...

That one on the right is interesting at first glance it has the long and low stance of that high speed digger that they made for the US army(was it a HMEE ? ) but without the bullet proofing,. But it seems to have a telescopic boom on it that the HMEE didn't have so more like the manitou digger telescopic thing they had a few years back

On EBay today item number 153247869855 Another unusual JCB this time a JS150 with a type of Powerslide boom, although the dipper does not look like it's from an 800 series, not sure if it's a home made job or a prototype that JCB had, It's in Derbyshire if anyone is interestead.

IIRC ex-EA / drainage board specials ..... have read about these and their round bum successors, somewhere recently

 

[Davedb]

yes .... someone on Old Girls Of Plant page on FB bought one of them earlier this year ..... I'll see if I can find some of their pix

JCB 809 prototype (supposedly) - 9 tonner ...... looks a tad Sumi to me

Shawnee Poole trailer?

 

[Grifferr]

Shawnee Poole trailer?

Yes converted Shawnee trailer. Very heavy on the drawbar. It later had a tailgate fitted so it could be loaded more to the back

 

[Gez_lewis]

I rember seeing. Video of a county pulling a big in its day Shawnee trailer up a quarry road roaring away hell of a nice note.
Wish we had pictures of the things we had when I was a kid , there was a few 800 series been and gone along with most models of county & tw tractors they seemed massive when your a kid but small now in comparison
