Yes that is the price sticker in the trailor

While out and about i got offered a good price for my JCB 530-70 was not planning on selling it allow i have had a few niggle problems of late which i fixed but also got shown a photo of a 541-70 ,did not have time to go and look so took a gamble and bought it then sold mine , it turned up the other day and so far its going well , its quick on the road and air-con is good so we can keep door closed and keep the dust out

No problem on photos , not sure on getting dimensions ,but like Nigel Ford has said it has been done

What's your latest farm/Construction buy in 2022
smithy replied to Tractorman810's topic in General Hobby Discussion
I did get a few JCB models the other day will get photos shortly ,but got my grandson one to play with as its one of his favourite machines on the farm . VID-20220623-WA0053.mp4 -
Hope you are ok Mike ,thanks for the photos and thank your Daughter for taking them

They did take us right though the factory where the cut ,bend and weld ,paint and assemble the wheeled diggers and telescopic loaders but was not allowed to take photos , i think they said in a 8hr to 10hr shift there is a machine come of the line every 13 minutes , they work 24hrs on the cutting, bending and welding and painting of the parts so they have the parts for the 8/10hr day shifts , think they said there is 3500 workers on that site ,they have other sites just a few miles away making fastrac"s and cabs .as we left a helicopter left the site and we stopped at the ice cream van 20220622_165043.mp4

Few more from around JCB ,they took us to a quarry that they own just down the road and we could hop in the machines and have a drive around/play on what ever was there ,that was good fun especially going up the slopes with the loading shovels 😍
