Hello and welcome to the channel, this channel is dedicated to my life behind the levers being a plant operator in the UK.
The excavator i currently drive is a 2021 Volvo EC220 but I do operator other machinery from time to time.
I work for my local construction company so content will be based around that type of earthworks/civils work, as well as other excavator based content i hope you will enjoy.
I always thought a loader backhoe was a very useful machine last one I used was in2003 which was a massey ferguson 50b my last company had did my cscs at Bircham Newton with jcb 3cx in early 1980s the company I am with now only use 360 machines but on some jobs I think to my self a backhoe could do this better and quicker And I will admit I do miss using them
Amigo bendiciones para ti y Felicitaciones por esa belleza de maquina con la cual trabajas DIOS quiera algun dia me de la oportunidad de trabajar en una maquina de este estilo es una pasion ❤ a cumplir
I’d never want a machine without a tiltrotator on! I’ve been running Engcon units for about 7 years, the best decision I’ve ever made. Give yourself 5 days, you’ll be operating it like a Jedi 👍🏻
I’m starting to think the same mate, the time & effort saved to do similar jobs is incredible. I’m slowly starting to get it all synced in..head down & levers swinging 👍 Appreciate the comment mate, all the best for 2024 🤝
Still catching up with last years videos mate, Rototilt was fitted a week before Plantworx (next video) I’m going to do a 1000hr review on the Rototilt, I’ve got loads of footage through the weeks and months upto that. And how I found getting to grips with it 👍
Top job James, and you do a really great job of showing us through the stages you do to get to the final product. Looking forward to seeing more vids from you
Cheers mr Gunns appreciate that 👍 don’t think il ever be as comfortable talking on camera as you though, more videos coming. All the best for 2024 Ollie lad 🍻
Very tidy work mate ,true what you say about volvo I've had volvo and gps for a few years but boss decided to give me a case 130 e what a pile of crap gutless uncomfortable cheep crap volvo are no 1
Absolutely Colin, it’s just a well put together work horse. Pleasure to get in it everyday 💪 Really appreciate the comment mate, all the best for 2024 🍻
Hello mate, it’s a 2021 with 5000hrs. It’s only ever let me down once with a bust hydraulic hose. Anything else has been minor and would just get rectified on its normal service schedule. Incredible machine 💪
They call it driving through your arse. When using the bucket as a blade you can fell if you are level when traking it in .this fella is a bloody good driver
Hello friend. Greetings from Korea. I booked jcb's Friday factory tour and have some questions. 1. Is it hard to get to that place by public transportation? 2.Or are they running shuttle buses as well? 3. Are experiences such as pt.2 included in the tour?
Hello there Sean, hope you are well. There are public transport options. You would get the train to Uttoxeter Station and then take a bus into Rocester - there is a bus stop about 3 minute walk away from the JCB Visitors Centre. There are no shuttle buses running unfortunately. As for pt2 of the video, that was a demo day for the 4cx. Unfortunately JCB don’t do a public visit to include that. Hope this has helped and you enjoy your trip to JCB 👍
Hi, sorry for the late reply. Il always get out the machine if someone needs a hand with something. It all depends on the site or type of work your carrying out though. Usually there’s no need for the operator to get out, so they can keep the excavator grafting 💪
I am very disappointed in jcb they promised me so much and gave me nothing so I don't trust them anymore and now looking at case digger I told them that I was starting up on my own and would like one of their 3cx and I was told that they would not be interested in helping me with the purchase of a machine due to me being a fresh customer and asking for the machine to be on finance and in mid conversation the jcb rep put the phone down on me its not a company I will promote
Hi Jordan sorry for the late reply, when working near buildings & trees sometimes the GPS will struggle to pick up signal. Thats all the orange on the screen is telling me.
