I have bother with my hips aswel Adam,and spend my working life driving machines. I find wearing the seatbelt helps massively, keeps u pinned in the seat so that it takes the shocks rather than your body. Great addition to the fleet.
When I was doing pits I always preferred the long draw last! Gave me more time to do a tasty finish on the pit. Ther was no help from anyone else those days! All the best with the new machine.
i know that the new machine will do loads of good stuff for you lorraine and adam. you definately know all about the machines you run and what you want from them. good on you . lovely video as always cheers team.
I’ve only ever drove an old cat small shovel in Australia. Something was wrong with the orbital unit or something. So the owner had the steering wheel taken off and a handle in place of it. Not as fancy as this set up and was a bit alien at the start to use but after a while you would get used to it. Well wear with her. I’m sure it will be a massive help to operator comfort.
What a beast of a machine, I've been pushing up silage for 25+ years and drove the CAT988 stick steer in Australia and just can't imagine using it on a pit!! But I did think id never get used to it at the time and eventually loved it, I just feel like you wouldn't have the right control on the edges
We’ve actually got on to it a lot faster than we were expecting to. It’s a great job! the sides haven’t been an issue for us at all so far.. the set up on the jcb gives you a lot of control and where it’s sensitive, there’s been some pits that the boys have said they think it’s rolled sides better
Farming simulator suddenly got very real!!! Looks amazing once you’ve got the feel of it which actually doesn’t look to take as long as you would think
Hi Lorraine, you are looking great, glad to see u back, best of luck with the new machinery and the weather. Hope everyone is well. Hope to catch up soon x
I drive a loading shovel in a quarry and the joystick steering is a game changer,I can honestly say I'm not half as tired after a shift when you get used to the joystick you won't even think about what you're doing your hands are just working without you realising Best of luck with It 👍
Cracking video L 👌🏼 probably the best new kit tour video I've seen in Long time!!! Thanks for explaining about why ye didn't go Volvo! Did the have a test drive with this or Volvo though? And yer banter is brilliant also twaz 😂 himself throwing you into deep end driving it 😊
Thanks Jason! We had a demo from Volvo last year - it was an LH70 that was traded in from another NI customer but we were looking for a 110. JCB only have lever steer in a prototype shovel over at their factory so on this occasion we bought it totally blind without any test drives or demos. Had no idea how it was going to come but JCB were unbelievable to deal with. We were in contact with them throughout and they kept us in the loop every step of the way. I know 🙈 still shocked I was allowed near it 😂😂
I used to drive a Deere 844k loader in Australia few years back and it had joystick steering. A lot quicker at loading roadtrains and I would not go back to using a steering wheel after getting the hang of the joystick steering
A great idea not to be turning a steering wheel the whole time. I gave years putting up silage with a CAT910 and then more years driving a 120 VOLVO in a sand pit. I'm paying the price for that now with golfers elbow in my left arm. By the way I never played golf, hadn't time. Thank's Lorraine.
Thanks Michelle! Those are Dublin Venturer 3 I think you call them.. I love them, so comfy and hard wearing! I wear mine good and then when they get scruffy they go to the farm but they’re unreal!
5ft 8" that's hardly short for a girl, that's a fair height. I'm 5ft 8" and I'm a bloke. Now thats short.... these days 😅 Great video Lorraine, spot on 👍🏻
how you doing team ireland. i used my phone today to order one of youre red tshirts. looking forward to wearing it. the cost with the postage to the uk is very good. cheers for that. i reckon it was all to do with the lady modelling and telling people what you have for sale. what ever you did lorraine, it worked. lol. good on you for the clothing department video. happy weather week everyone i hope.

@LorraineKillen brilliant to see it all work out in the end for ye 👏🏻👏🏻🥰
Buckrack was brillant on joystick guys still be anxious about operating it myself looking good on it lorraine from tipperary
Thank you! Wouldn’t be a bother to you 😬
Wud like to meet u and adam and crew my 2 kids love watching yee on sat
I used to drive a Deere 844k loader in Australia few years back and it had joystick steering. A lot quicker at loading roadtrains and I would not go back to using a steering wheel after getting the hang of the joystick steering
100% agree… deadly set up once you get on to it!
Great to see you back I thought you were gone into hibernate 😂😂
There’s an idea 😂😂

Little 910 were a great loader
This is it 🙌🏼 I don’t think many people realise that. But we’re seeing the benefits of the lever steer already so hopefully long may it last
Love the videos 😀 where abouts are your boots from?
Thanks Michelle! Those are Dublin Venturer 3 I think you call them.. I love them, so comfy and hard wearing! I wear mine good and then when they get scruffy they go to the farm but they’re unreal!
Great video Lorraine that’s some machine best of luck with it must be some money in contracting 😜🤣👌
Thanks Gary! There’s no money in contracting 😂 any profit made is reinvested into next years new toys! 🙈🙈🙈
A lovely machine. Health to enjoy.
Thanks Freddy!

Young lady ready for the clamp. On top of the kids,dinners, you tube and whatever else. Well done Lorriane.
I’ll leave the pit to the professionals lol
Any link to the Volvo video? Have searched google but no luck.
Nice one Lorraine and Adam

Adam may regret showing you how to drive it
He might find himself at home minding the kids 😂😂😂
