    JCB Skid Steer

    I have owned a 190 and a 190T JCB skid steer and as far as the arm on the machine goes I have no complaints its been plenty strong and durable, not one issue with it yet. My 190 wheeled skid steer was unreal I never repaired it once only serviced it. I had it for 3 years before I traded it for...

    Cat vs Case backhoes?

    Cant beat any 580 Case backhoe and I own a a 430E cat. They're rugged, simple and dependable. There excavators and skidsteers on the other hand biggest toilets in the industry..... No Doubt About It!

    Will this suspension seat fit my 1845C?

    I was just wondering myself if they made a universal suspension seat for skid steers because the solid mounted one in my JCB 190T will make your kidneys fail if your in it too long. Think it would fit the JCB? Probably not seeing as if they make them the most difficult and expensive machines...

    Which machine to buy

    I'd go for the cat, I have a JCB myself and my next one will be the cat 279. The cat definitely has better visibility and a more spacious cab plus all hydraulics are so comparable now with these machines its whatever has better service and support and which is more operator friendly as far as I...

    Backhoe atachment for skid steer

    Thanks 25c, and the visibility on those is terrible. If your doing and utility or pipe work deeper than 18" or so you cant see what your doing well at all. Unless you got a rubber'neck and can stick it out the front window while sitting in the seat. I tried it, wasn't a fan.

    Tires Going Flat???

    I have a 930 Cat Loader and the tires are a little dry rotted. They hold air most of the time but I'm getting it ready for winter and dont want to worry about them getting low on me. I was going have tubes put in them but I wasnt sure if that stuff they pump into them to seal them was better...

    Backhoe atachment for skid steer

    I have a JCB 190T that I have a Bradco 609 backhoe attachment for. I just bought a mini exc this summer so I no longer use it but before the mini exc I did a ton of work with it. I digs about 10 ft with an 18 inch bucket I dunno what the difference is between it and a 611 tho.

    Adding more counterweight?

    My 303 has an extra counterweight on it, with a lil tail pipe extender too. The only problem I could foresee is a bigger tailswing as well but that just takes some getting used to. I'd go for it.:thumbsup
