Where is the pictures of this beast? I would love to see some of it in action Dave. Cant say i would ever buy one, but you never know...
the final analysis of the electric iso controls is that if controlling your machine is your number one priority, manual controls are the only way to go, but this is not really a surprise.

so far i have noticed 2 things about the jcb that are not perfect. the boom does bump against the side of the cab if you really get wild with her. surprisingly there is only like 3/4 inch of clearance there to begin with. also, the belly of the machine having 50 hours on it has quite a bit of trash accumulation already from the gaps between the cab and frame. i told jcb about it and they sent out the regional service manager and another guy to see what we can do. they have a seal kit we can get to seal up the gaps, and they are looking into the other situation.
i told them instead of having the fan suck the air from under the cab and pushing it out the radiator towards the top of the machine, they should pull the air in from the top instead. this setup would require a reversing fan though else it would be the same story with our bobcat again where the radiators always get plugged.
you must be mistaken....
"the boom on the jcb is rock solid. there is no flexing."
[/COLOR]the boom does move side to side a tiny bit on the jcb like any other skid steer. it does not, however, flex so one side of the bucket is at a different level than the other like everyone thinks it would.
[COLOR="#FF0000"]i dont understand why i need to put pics up. cant you just google jcb skid steer and see pics? perhaps some day if i'm bored i can try to post pics of the jcb on the interweb.

Please, don't sound so friggin arrogant. if you are going to talk up your machine so much, maybe back it up. with a few fotos it tends to make things more believable. no reason for me to argue on this thread....that is all it is..one long dribble of jcb hype. don't bother with a the fotos cause i don't are anymore.

LOL! Thats pretty funny.

i measured the side to side play on the old bobcat and on the new jcb. 1.25 inches total on the jcb 4 inches on the bobcat so...
perhaps i need to clarify what rock solid means. it does not mean literally like a rock. it means i would put my jcb 205 up against any competitive machine for boom strength and their boom would break before mine. the problem is people automatically put the jcb boom up to such scrutiny, when really their preferred brand is worse than the jcb.
if i was buying such a big tracked machine, the only other machine i would consider is a takeuchi because they are sweet.
