Making Progress - JCB 3CX Grey Cab SiteMaster Backhoe (18) 

Thank you Benny!

Thank you for subscribing, and your comment! Keep watching, as we have more to come with our 3CX 😊

Tyres fitted last year (2021) at an eye-watering cost of £3,000... Whenever I'm on a site like this I am constantly surveying the ground for any obstacles that could cause issues, like a twig or piece of wood that could knock an oil filter off or things that could cause tyre damage.

I was thinking the same, but the customer had other ideas...

Hi Nigel, Thanks for watching and the comment. Hope you get your 3CX sorted, could be something simple like the direction lever switch or the forward/reverse solenoid on top of the transmission. Yes I was watching the wall, all turned out well in the end.

@@PSExcavationsLLC Thanks for the suggestions, mine is the older model, so I think it needs a new clutch set, but will try oil change first

@@nigelknight1435what was the problem

If you are in the county, you are looking at around £250, 8am - 1pm. That includes travel, fuel and a driver. Hope that help?

@@PSExcavationsLLC I don't see how you can stay afloat at that price. Backhoe Operators charge $100+ per hour here in USA & that was roughly 10 years ago.

@@cyberbiker0 It is a competitive price for this part of England. But I agree the rates should be higher as it takes a lot of expense and effort to own a piece of equipment. $100+ an hour seems a fair rate.

Gracias por ver nuestros videos y vuestro comentario. No creo que entiendas los fundamentos de operar una retroexcavadora. La forma en que configuré la máquina funciona bien para mí y lo ha hecho durante más de 25 años. Si tuviera una máquina, sería libre de operarla de la mejor manera para usted y la máquina.

Hello there! Thank you for your comment😊 I have radial tires fitted on this machine, which always look softer than cross-ply ones. I run 45 psi in the front and 30 psi in the rear. I find any higher in the front is too bouncy on the road, as we travel the machine from job site to job site. As for speeds, on flat you are looking at 23 /24 miles an hour.

@@PSExcavationsLLC 23/24 not so bad . Nice to answer.

We can provide any machine necessary to complete the job, but our 3CX is a very popular machine.
