Show us your Arb Diggers please.

Hard to convey in words, but this is what you see when you open the side door and bonnet on a JCB JS131, the absence of all the DPF and AD Blue stuff really does make it look like a 90’s machine and full marks for service access on the filters.

Shame they don't do a 8 ton machine with the same ethos as that'd suit a lot of us needing a capable but compact machine.

Spotted this, might suit a few on here, great machines.

a while ago we set this up thinking along the lines of tracked and wheeled base with shared attachments giving us the ability to cover a range of site conditions, specific training for tree shear and site/forestry/arb situations has not been found, I understand Ground Control with involvement from Eddie have a basis of operator requirement/training and experience level, early days yet but we are gaining experience, my thanks to Eddie for his gentle teaching during our journey

a few action shots to include 'fishing'  collapsed willow pollards from stream and pollarding cricket bat willow prior to harvesting ( or just an excuse to play with and find limits of machine )

Took a long time for the manufacturers to realize the benefits of the flotation type tyres, though I suppose it is only really a niche application.

New custom built flail head up and obliterating! Pretty good for a 2.8t

Just a heads up that John Craig still has the Kubota Kx57-4 in ‘L’ spec complete with Engcon Ec206 Direct Mount and three Buckets that was on his other company A&B Services stand at the APF.

I know what you lot are like so yes I do know what he wants, 50k for the package. 

It’s new unregistered for warranty.

I really rate the Kx57, John can do whatever mods you wanted or extra attachments.

Nice setup for someone on here no doubt.?

Quick heads up, probably too late as only been sent them tonight , but don’t know if you can buy online?

This is through Euro Auctions Leeds tomorrow.

If you’ve ever enquired what them stroke heads cost, it could be a bargain in a raft of Construction guys?
