I have always wondered why companies continued to have the cages along with glass cabs. with the cage youre never going to be able to easily clean the glass.
other then the lift arm it looks like the same basic machine as the older T 1110 like my avitar.
same engine , just updated emission specs .
TOTALLY different than your machine. This machine was engineered in the US. Redesigned from the ground up. Not just a update. 20+% fewer fittings than your 1110T, o-ring flat faced fittings. Tilt up, pressurized cab. Hydraulics have been completely re-engineered. It was pretty impressive.
This machine was engineered, sourced, and will be built in the US at JCB's plant in Savannah, GA.
JCB has always had pretty good fit and finish as a rule of thumb, and their backhoe is the world market share leader; however, the backhoe had less than 4% market share last time I checked and I think the SSL/CTL just haven't caught on due to the arm, and the poor dealer network. No amount of re-engineering can solve that. JMHO.
I think you mean 4% in the US...
well...gehls and mustangs dont have anymore lift height than anything else...unless you r just running a 7810 or equivalent.
