That is my old Grey Cab 814 Powerslide, and I'd have another tidy one in a heartbeat, great machine.[emoji106]

Really, the one I used was awful, didn't help the power slide didn't realy work so you shifted it in n out with the dipper, very little slew power and always overheating the hydraulic system

That one pictured was sold by me to a good friend and I continued to operate it for him on and off.

The work it achieved for him was incredible and only two burst hoses in around 5 years. He moved it on to a local farmer for almost the same money.

It was in great condition and the powerslide is a great feature when setup correctly.

 

This only applies to the grey cab versions which were really JCB's last roll of the dice before deciding to simply buy Japanese engineering and badge it.

Crazy thing is with all Rexroth hydraulics, Perkins 6 cylinder engine side mounted for incredibly easy maintenance, powerslide and high seating position the last machines at least in my opinion were brilliant to own and operate.

Never been a better ditching machine since.
