I have used and tested this machine thouroughly in the real world. The tracks create immense mess everywhere it moves. The front loader and backhoe are extremellllly weak with horibble torque. The hydrolic system gets damaged very quickly with any real use. The machine is extremely herky jerky be prepared to loose teeth on the front glass it is way to close to your face for the lack of smoothness. It struggles to mix two commands at once and a mix of 3 is non existent. The machine stalls whenever any actual torque is needed. Its also way to heavy for how weak it is. Its the complete opposite of its kabota counterpart which is an A+ machine. Kabota unfortunately has no track option with all these functions at this size. So the jcb was mandatory. I have no idea how this machine was let out into the public with all these issues. If you are using it for your backyard or light use i guess its fine. But if you are using it daily in a construction enviornment and putting it to the test it will fail you everytime. I want to love it i am forced to use it but i have yet to meet a single operator who does not hate this machine. Oh its turn radius is amazing ill give it that, but arent all track machines. Watch your teeth on that front window. Lastly i guess its better than a shovel but the hastle of transporting it and its constant breakdowns you will probably end up hand digging most of the time. Pleasssssssse make a machine worthy of a real world use snd not a farm tool.
@@misterbulger the warranty is just decent, I'm almost out of warranty. Issues include leaks at the kingpost, leaks in the underbelly,wiring mishaps, control joystick fails to activate so machine will only run with override engaged. Leaks at the extender arm. I mean it has been un used for long periods while it's at the shop. And it's only at 200 hrs
I agree! However every machine I've had with automatic eventually breaks. Great if I'm renting but if I'm owning... 🤔 I'll probably spring for reliability and cheaper
He literally said it in the video. It’s equipped with a Skid-Steer Quick Attach and can take any Skid-Steer attachment. Buckets, Forks, Bail Spike, hydraulic hammers, mulchers, rakes…etc. Pretty much everything. You just have to make sure it’s the Quick-Attach, it’s rated for the attachment and you have the necessary hydraulics for it. I would assume it has at least 2 auxiliary hydraulic lines.
Have you had problems with the pivot on the backhoe leaking? We have had JCB backhoes in the early 80s and never had a problem. I bought the JCB 1CXT backhoe, love the versatility of the machine, But, in one year it has been in the shop 5 times at two different JCB dealers trying to fix the oil leak on the pivot for the backhoe. They have to wait for parts and or they have to call JCB to tell them how to fix it. They told me if it was not under warranty I would be paying $10,000 to $15,000 to fix it each time. I have put 1200 hours on the backhoe and I was told I use the machine too much. I just got the machine back again from the shop and it is leaking oil the first day. I told them I need a new machine because this is a lemon and I was told this will never happen. I wanted to trade this machine in for a cat skid steer and they only want to give me $34,000. I can't afford this machine when it is out of warranty.
Why do these demo videos, which most would presume are aimed for more experienced operators, treat us like children with all the safety bullshit? "3 points of contact to get into the machine safely". You can spare us on the safety shit.
Hello boss, looking to connect with other owners I own a 1.5yr old cxt in California. It is full of issues could we connect to see if other machines are experiencing similar problems?
@@jlmploslets talk...read my comment first at the top of this thread. Just buy a kabota b23 or better its an absolute beasssssst with none of the issues here. I am forced by company to use this machine and we have gone through 6 in 2 years. Kabotas would last 5 to 7 years without issue. Get away from this thing. Unfortunately i cant, we end up hand digging rather than deal with these they just sit in yard.
@robertgorski9048 mine is now sitting at the dealer for the past 2 months. This is the 7-8 breakdown in less than 1.5yrs couple of times including this time the unit has been sitting there for over a month (going on 2 months now) how is one supposed to make money with a unit that cannot be used to produce
That's a pretty sweet little machine!

Hello bud, how is the machine doing? I have one 1.5y old and it's full of troubles.
@@jlmplos what issues do you have? Is the warranty decent?

@@jlmplos did they get all of that fixed? I wonder if there are other manufacturers of these.
You didn't show boom extension
Can I run a hammer on either the boom or the bucket? Can I add a thumb to the boom? I do a lot of demolition work...
EXCELLENT video!
Should have automatic quick cupler we operator’s are lazy 😂

What’s the button on the side of the seat by the left joystick?
The Float toggle for the loader
I Sooo Need this Machine, what other attachments can be used with it

Damn it's hard to operate it, too many tricks and levers

Should hire one rather than buy. Then youll know if its worth it.

Very cheap interior to be honest.
