What’s this worth ? I might be tempted 🤦‍♂️

Someone just happening upon this thread could think things get very strange on here.

They wouldn’t be wrong though

Strong export to eastern europe I believe... I looked at a RAF one last week at 17k.... sold that evening.
They are good.... Weak point is the kingpost cracking and loader arms twisting/cracking. But i'd have one tommorow, second only to the Terex.

That’s two pretty significant weaknesses right there. Makes JCB’s paint problems seem a bit of a non issue.

It is, but bear in mind they where often sold to farmer types that lack mechanical sympathy and actually have the power to do damage to themselves.

The Terex is the same - they suffer king post slide bolts and damage to the extra dig.

From what I've seen of JCB they took could have this issue if they stayed working for long enough
