JCB 8008 8010

[Jon the builder]

I'm thinking of purchasing a 2006 Jcb 8008 well that's what its advertised as, but it looks like a 8010 as its a box section arm and there's no decals on it, does anyone know when they first started using the tubular arm on the 8008
?

The 8010 is very well thought off, lots of power for a micro. Never tried one personally.

The 8008 has always been a tubular boom.

The 8010 has always been a welded section arm.

If its a 2006 8010 it will have solid panels where your feet go, if its older than that, they are removal panels.

I thought that was the case thanks for the help do you think at 568hrs the bushes will be quite good if its been maintained regularly ?

I did 2k hours on mine before I did them, but I grease them consistently throughout the day.

They are only nylon bushes on the bucket end and are super easy to replace and not much money at all.

If you know that it hasn't spent the majority of those 500+ hours on a breaker doing utility work - and the pins take grease easily - then the bushes should be fine.
