I have two jcb 270t both a year old. Jcb will not stand behind their warranty of the machines. We’ve paid out of pocket to replace and rebuild everything it seems including water pumps, hydraulic cylinders, pivot pin assemblies (4 times), faulty bushings in the lift arm, track tensioners, faulty wiring, quick connect motor and latch, hand-loose bolts (literally falling apart while working), reroute the exposed hydraulic lines on the arm, and both machines are parked now because they do not cool properly, both ac’s are not working and we’re only getting 30 minutes a day before they overheat . We’ve properly maintenanced what hasn’t been replaced 100% of it all, through the dealer even, until recently and had enough of the $7,000 invoices. We’ve planned to get into a couple ASVs as soon as we’re able to recover from 30,000+ in repairs in 11 months. Our first job with the 270t, one of the lines to the undercarriage ruptured and we lost most of the hydraulic fluid. The machine had 24 hours on it. We were grading a gravel driveway…. But hey it has good visibility 😂 Stay away from jcb compact track loaders
I’ve owned two JCB’s, the first one was garbage, nothing but problems. I love the side door so I bought another, still had problems. JCB doesn’t make reliable machines anymore sadly. The JCB’s are also the lowest HP, lowest breakout force, lift capacity and operating capacity out of all brands but you sacrifice that with a mono boom. I moved on to a 299D2 which I just sold and ordered a C362...which smokes any JCB CTL in every way.
Tbf it doesn't matter which brand you have. They all break. I've owned cat for 15 years now and the best ones were 15 years ago. The new ones are crap and your still paying premium for the crap so it's not worth it
My Dad has had skid steers for years on his farm. At 82 though it wasn’t safe for him to climb over the bucket into his 257 Cat. We found a nice used 190T JCB and he is still able to use it!
This not designed and built in the USA. It's a British machine/brand...which there's nothing wrong with that, just correcting what was said. New holland has better visibility than this machine (and all other machines) to the front and rear. This machine has better visibility to the left of the machine which doesn't really help much. The Single arm is a gimmick to make it look different, and to allow extension of the boom, but it's unnecessary and dangerous as you can easily change the center of gravity and tip forward, causing damage to everything
they are made in the us and the single arm boom has been production for almost 20 years and you if you think new holland has better viz you should sit in one first (im not a jcb owner )
Not misleading lol, it says overview and this is an overview. There are two other videos on my channel of the machine in use. The dump truck vid and the winter storage one.
