Local councils too busy paying chief executive thousands in pay and pension to care. A law should be passed to guarantee smooth surfaces and better repairs.
This is too quick smart ecological economic hassle free and just far to well thought out for any government council to even embrace mentally they need slow cumbersome problematic and time consuming to even contemplate.
Pay to make new road, than pay to fix pothole, then pay to fit speed bump, then pay to fix speed bump... then pay to put speed camera... and 24/7 cctv... then average speed camera... JUST MAKE IT GRAVEL ROAD!! It is cheap, weatherproof and comes with build-in speed bumps!
This machine is useless, i operate the jcb 3cx compact and that alone is far too big for pot hole repairs, you can't fit these machines anywhere on our roads, the 3cx is huge and you can't even see the cheap chinesium planer from the cab, this one is even worse it would be a nightmare to operate on uk roads, i've been operating machines for 30yrs and these are an absolute waste of money, jcb will benefit cos only the councils are stupid enough to buy this thing, save your cash and invest in a Bobcat or Gehl.
It's alright for JCB to quote " councils will benefit " but most councils don't even bother fixing road defects and if they did they'd need around 8 machines per council / county
@ REC Anything What is your target market/ Target audience? curious how does customers actually buy this? if they do buy this. Can they actually put it to use?
It has baffled me for years why the council pays people to fix pot holes by just filling them in 5 or 6 times a year for years on end instead of cutting the problem area out like this machine does. I don't know if its lazy council workers and the people in charge given instructions to "fix" pot holes in this way.
Maybe its lazy people who don't think critically and keep electing council members who are more interested in the interests of companies who are employed by local government rather than the interests of the people.
