If ever anyone is asked to explain the word "great" in Great Britain....
JCB would be it.....!
A British icon 🇬🇧
An icon
I drove a JCB 3 in the 1960s, later the JCB3c plus a 360 deg model number ?? Then came the JCBcx for Sir Robert McAlpine, it one of the first off the production line and came with a JCB mechanic who detailed the daily use, fuel consumption and checked the wearing parts for his reports. The only problem he found was with the forward - reverse shuttle gearbox which was in fact a marine box. This was changed and I drove that machine for another four years without any other problems, only routine maintenance. After the JCB3 it was like driving a Rolls Royce, I've also driven a few of those. My biggest problem is my hands and brain are fixed in the JCB system of lever control and I find it hard to swap to other make machines.
Join the club young man.
No so young any more 79 next month, dug a hole yesterday and set a gate post with hand mixed concrete, it made me puff a bit and the 34 deg made me sweat. Had to raid the beer fridge.@@oliverkeenan7232
In 1964 I was an apprentice commercial vehicle bodybuilder at age 16. Mr Bamford used to visit our factory where lorries were bodied with hand-made bodies. We used to watch him and laugh to ourselves. We had lots of boxes and tins containing new and old bolts and he used to pocket some when he thought nobody was looking. He was a rich man but didn't like to see nuts and bolts going to waste!
Great video guys
Good to see celebration and praise for a GB company
🤣
Yes, absolutely - we should be very proud of our innovators......
I remember as a young lad writing to the Stafford head office for catalogs…… never failed to send them to me….. 3CX what a machine….. a 3C mark 2 was my first drive !!!
That was absolutely brilliant guys, Hollywood for you lot next.
ah....the might JCB 3c , a machine that made the brand so famous in my country that ALL backhoes are called JCBs
How do you think he made the tracker
Great video Mark 👍 some archive I've never seen before 😊👍
Brilliant historical footage, I definitely enjoyed that and so will my son when he's a bit older.
In early 1065 i worked for a company doing demolition and general excavations we had a Hydra digger, 2 of JCB 4b`s and my machine a JCB 4c,, ii loved that beast i could make her talk,,,,,
Were you able to keep your job after the conquest?
@@hoggy3775 Best answer ever 🤣🤣🤣
JCB got the idea for the backhoe after seeing a backhoe attachment for Massey Ferguson tractors.
Even JCB don’t credit themselves as the first when it comes to the backhoe loader. But I think they were the first to have a fully accomplished machine with the MK1 👍🏻
did not mention the tracked 1cx and the 5cx the smallest tracked backhoe and the biggest backhoe specialized in waste management and material handling
Jcb is the best in it's class love to have one or two lol
Great video 👍🏻
Крутая техника. Я работаю на ЭП JCB 4CX. Это мой любимый трактор. Жаль, что из-за войны, отношения все хуже. Да и цены теперь космические.
11:02 Where is this man's PPE? (hi vis jacket, hard hat, gloves and work boots) The concrete went all over his shoes! 😂😂
God, I bet you're a blast down the pub......
Super
Good video. I would argue that Liner were the telehandler pioneers in the early 70s. The first JCB 2wd handler was a bit of a lemon off hard surfaces. Trantor pioneered high speed tractors in the 70s but were poor in design and capability compared to the later JCB.
You’re right! Perhaps instead of pioneered, we should have said ‘early to adopt the telehandler’. Although, over the last few decades since then it would be hard to argue that JCB aren’t the front runners.
Funnily enough, JCB rarely describes itself as the creator or inventor. It instead prides itself on innovating and building on top of what came before. 👍🏻
Regarding "Fast Tractors" the Unimog was first produced in 1948, The series 1 Land Rover (it could have a PTO) was first made in the same year.
Go back even further than that, to 1938 and you could argue that the Minneapolis Moline UDLX Comfortractor was one of the first - it had a top speed of 40mph....
There's little "new" but as has already been stated, JCB reckon to be innovators rather than inventors...
You literally couldn't give away a JCB excavator is Australia they just don't compair against Hitachi . Komatsu or cat in heavy applications
About all JCB can sell are tele handlers.
@@mabamabam there loaders are good also . Backhoes pretty good .the rest is nowhere near its competitors
@@AbcdEfgh-zp1sn Maybe their loaders are ok. But Ive literary never seen a JCB loader, so theyre not selling any.
And backhoes of any make are rare as hens teeth. Its a shit loader and a shit excavator. There are some niches where they work but not many.
Bull there the best I think I haven't run one but I watch them in action I love what they can do
look at them now R.I.P jc bamford
What? They are the biggest manufacturers in their field🇬🇧
Cool
Remote self level help device from a bench mark so ever ground is levelled by a grading bucket without trying to judge equalisation flat ground.
I want to know about J.C.B meaning.
@@munasingheperera3252 to level ground from a bench mark there should be a sensor on or near the grading bucket to which the height can be adjusted according manually or automatically to give a level plane
been making telehandlers since the early 70's, one would hope they are more reliable than the one I owned, always breaking down from new, happy days when I got rid of the rotten thing after only 1500 hours.
Blah, blah, blah - if only you'd have used a grease gun now & again etc, etc, etc.......
@@jimgoodwin6294 I am guessing you are telling me if I smeared grease over the hydrostatic drive it would not have failed and the dealer wanting a $13k repair bill despite the fact the dealer has already repaired 5 of these under warranty, JCB had constant mechanical issues which none of the others brands of machines I own suffer from
@@paulscott1550 Sounds like poor maintenance to me.... Don't like them - buy something else - no ones forcing you....
@@jimgoodwin6294 do not worry mate I will not be stupid enough to buy another one, it was not poor maintenance, it had major issues that were well known by JCB themselves, to the point most dealers stopped selling the model we had, JCB themselves removed it from sale to redesign. What really pissed me off is JCB was well aware of all the problems, the dealer even told me this model was a piece of shit, yet every time it broke we had to fight to have them repair it. I just wonder how you would feel if you buy a new machine which breaks down in the first month, followed by more constant break downs only to have the dealer advise you the problems you are having are common to all these machines, but then go on and resist covering any repair cost or refuse to replace a machine which is clearly not of an acceptable standard. My problem with JCB is not just the quality of the machine, it is also how we were treated when they openly admitted the machine had problems yet still did not want to back the machine under warranty.
@@paulscott1550 what was the machine….?
Greetings from Azerbaijan
JCB need to make heavy trucks .. We lost ERF & Foden ... Leyland frittered away ... Go for it .. There will be a market.
Not sure about that? A move like that could break them.
DJB made off road dump trucks with Cat running gear, so parts were easy to get in the desert of Egypt. Where we used 10 of them, 8 to cart tunnel much out of a road tunnel under the Suez canal and two flat beds to carry tunnel lining segments for lining the tunnel.
That's an excellent idea....
No...?
They said the same about making tractors.......
As much as I love my John Deeres, I would love to have a JCB tractor or excavator. Where I am at, I have never seen one and would like to see one in action in real live. Hopefully, I am not living under a rock.
What's the attachment on the excavator arm? It looks like a box!
British engineering at its best. What are the racing cars @ 10.31?.
7:20 that's NOT the UK, that's the British Isles.
Didn't J.C.B. buy Wrights Bus Business in Belfast recently . Ever evolving. 👍👏👍👏👍
Yes they did - the future in electric buses is alive and well and lives in Northern Ireland......
Which came first the JCB or the Whitlock Dinkum Digger?
👍👏
I'm trying to work out how 750,000 excavators can stretch 4,000,000 km? Somebodys sums are a little way out,,, Good video otherwise and brought back memories of me watching them demolishing in my local town in the 70's
Swiss Tony, Now wouldn't that depend on the backhoe boom position . stretched full reach or in park position for traveling .
@@karlhrdylicka No, you amoeba. 750, 000 over 4m km is over 5km per unit, you absolute airhead.
I only found the bit saying 3/4m, what's the timestamp for 4m?
Респект JCB 👍👍👍👍👍
I thought jcb design was inspired from scorpions ❤
Lord Bamford is #class
disappointed i thought this was going to be a history doc and not a back slapping company promo.
I thought it was great - a celebration.
Nothing wrong with that........!
@@jimgoodwin6294 hi jim i am glad you liked it but i was looking for an in depth doc about the back hoe
@@doloresmyatt9737
Oh well - no ones ever happy these days...
@@jimgoodwin6294 unless they are in a pub with a pint.
@@doloresmyatt9737 It must be a lifeless pub.
Nice if they paid more tax in UK!
Exactly . I was scrolling down the comments to see if someone mentioned the fact ! 🤣 like most big companies they boast national pride but prefer to dodge the taxes and campaign for Brexit 🤣 No doubt their products are wonderful but .....
The J in JCB stands for Joseph, not Joe! and the GT is not a true functional backhoe, the boom and bucket are just cosmetic.
Bore off......
@@jimgoodwin6294 Charming! Guess you've never had the pleasure of working for them then?
@@simonbaxter8001
Have sold & used their kit for decades......
@@simonbaxter8001 You do know that Joe is short for Joseph don't you?
@@jimgoodwin6294 I worked on the GT and Dieselmax projects as well as a number of machine developments over the years. I know Joe is short for Joseph, but he was never once referred to as Joe, not even by those oldef than me that actually worked with him. So, in this context its not correct. The only Bamford that is ever referred to as Joe is Anthony Bamfords son, Jo.
You dont see alot of jcb in usa but ive seen a few older ones and realy nice new onec with the 4 wheel steer i seen a older one that was masive it hade loader size bucket and a excavator size hoe
Owners of those machines in the US say it's hard to get parts for them Shipping takes a long time and money
@@chrismanning1746 not sure how when there’s a plant right outside of savannah Georgia, people don’t want to pay jcb prices
@@chrismanning1746 There a trucker guy making UA-cam who drives an old cab over Peterbilt. He often delivers new JCBs I must check on where he hauls from it could be Savana Georgia or a dealer.
Jcb not so common in North America 🇺🇸
Because the other J brand has been around twice as long. John Deere. FasTrac is a brilliant tractor design
🇬🇧👍🇺🇲✌️💚
It is so cool guy's
Again the background music isn’t. It’s too loud and junked another otherwise good video👎👎👎👎👎💩
Let us know when you produce your own video - can't wait - its going to be epic....
@@jimgoodwin6294 it won’t be junked with music,it will actually tell the viewer something worth while. People who use music are lazy,do some home work and tell us something.
@@daleolson3506
I thought it was good.
With all due respect, I could not care less what you thought - don't like it?
Then make a better one - you won't of course....!
I believe most of people discovered what does mute button mean right?
jcb mini diggers are the worst in the world !
A shame such a successful company became arch Brexiteers, thus tarnishing their reputation.
But they were so right! Brexit another British triumph!
Doesn't effect you as you still use a spade......
@@jimgoodwin6294 yes, the same spade we used to build Britain’s infrastructure in the 1950s and 60s. And without JCBs.
@@radharcanna. W,e I,mport M,ore P,addy's E,very Y,ear. Don't need 1RB operators now we got JCB. The new diversity re- enforcements arriving daily that they claim since the 17th Century been in the forefront of building great britain or so they would have us believe .I fully agree they have done a super job could not have done it without them , making large parts of GB such a wonderful place to live .( cough cough)
@@karlhrdylicka Why, of course! And now the Irish are showing you the way in your IT, science, education, aviation and other sectors. Sure where would once great Britain be without us?
