The Tractor Twitcher Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 Your Schaeff sounds like a smart machine only ever seen mini diggers and wheel loaders from them in the flesh, do have a brochure on them hidden away some where. Newer versions i've been told by a couple of Dad's mates are decent machines, I always remember the hoses sticking out significantly from the top of the backhoe on the older models which never appeared to look quite as tidy as the JCB machines. um the new ones are smart to use yea i no what you mean but they are so nice to use i drove a f reg jcb 3ck for a while they are nice but not as good as good as the cases Dad said the Cases were good machines to operate, hasn't driven one in years though. I've had a few brief gos on a G plate grey cab 3CX and later "Project 8" machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 Here's a JCB backhoe loader with a difference, built as a promotional vehicle in the late 80s by JCB. It's powered by a supercharged Chevrolet 572 C.I.D big block engine producing 1300hp, photographed at Cereals 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcb4cxkid Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Your dad and you have photographed lots of different machines through the years and it is nice to see some old fashioned plant and then seeing some brand new Equipment in the same topic and also some British JCBs instead of pictures of Komatsu and liebherr machines from Europe. what would you say is your favorite piece of plant machinery you have photographed ?

Thank you Jcb4cxkid, Very difficult but good question to answer, of the ones I have taken myself I don't really have a favourite because they don't contain the nostalgia like the ones my Dad has taken. I'm very lucky my Dad was camera happy in the younger days of his career. I really enjoy going through the older photographs he took because there's so many fasicinating stories attached to them. I'm a big JCB fan and that's expressed in my model collection, I also spent a lot of time around the older JCB 3CX's when I was getting older and have a bit of a soft spot for the E reg example my Dad operated for quite some time as he kept it in really good order. However i'm also a big fan of old Caterpillar equipment, so any photograph with a big old Cat bulldozer has me drooling like a dog. But truth be told i've such an interest in all aspects of tractors and plant it's very difficult put my finger on a specific favourite.

The Tractor Twitcher Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 Here's a selection of other JCB tracked excavators my Dad has driven over the years from the older 800 series machines through to the more modern JS range. First up an 806B equipped with a vibrating plate attachment working alongside a Poclain 75 on a farm near Weaverthorpe on the Wold tops. A later model 814 used on a site near York. Early Sumitomo derived JS200 used on a site in Scarborough. Later model JS130 also used on a site in Scarborough. Bigger JS220 Dad used on a piled site on the coast at Whitby for some fancy apartments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothing runs like a **** Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 excellent pictures i see that 806b was a bit leaky around the hitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 Thank you Andy, it was quite a tired machine when my Dad was asked to operate it. It was hired in off another contractor near York to perform that specific task because the firm my Dad was on for at the time didn't have another machine available to do the job. But in the short time Dad had it, it ran trouble free and achieved what was required from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 excellent pictures, some times the old dinosaurs can surprise you Thanks Andy, they certainly can mate and sometimes can be as effective as the really new equipment. Here's a recent sighting of a much newer dinosaur with rather a long neck, a Case CX210 working for the Environment Agency. I found this excavator in a field not far from where I work and went back this morning to take some photographs. They'd been clearing out an overgrown beck that runs alongside the field and thinned out a few trees too. The machine is also piped for a big grab.
