    I remember reading a web page that said the US midel will have a turbo powered engine. Nottgat i find the 50hp perkins under powered due to its design it pushes fairly well, but you can never have dnough power i think the 1cxt with a turbo engine would make a handy little machine even better...

    6 way Dozer Blades

    Yeah not sure the 1cxt would have enough auxillary buttons on the controls for all those function. Im sure another joystick could be added ive seen that done for other attachments. Its a shame you cant curl the blade as an ex grader operator its one of the most important functions for minor...

    Best size Spreader/Smudge Bar

    Gday guys, What's your ideal spreader bar size and why? I've got a Jcb 1cxt so visions is probably not as good as a convention skid steer. Bucket size is 1800mm wide. I was thinking 1800 x 1800 or am i better buying something 2000mm width by 1800 so the side of the bar sticks out just wider...

    Okay update. Had the sparky out and he traced it to the glow plugs. He was just about to pack up when right at the back of the engine on the last glow plug found a loose bolt that had dropped down onto it and was touching the glowplug and engine head. So hopefully thats all it was as its...
