I just want to say that S & H is a fantastic dealer. We had an issue with a Kioti CTL. The thing was a lemon. Just didn't work right, and nobody could figure out the issue. They took care of everything. Loaner machines while the Kioti was in the shop, delivered.. never without a machine. They eventually bought it back at full price and got us an incredible deal on a New Holland. Buying a brand new machine, especially an unproven one like the Kioti CTL was kind of scary. When our worst fears were realized, we were very worried that we would take a loss on the machine or be stuck with a lemon. S & H did right by us and we will never shop anywhere else for equipment. I know this sounds like a commercial, but we have been so imoressed by them, and I can't help telling everyone when I get the chance. Dealer is way more important than the brand.
Brock, you should dock pay of your fancy expensive videographer. His keeping interior cab shots in frame during filming failed the quality standards of the highly regarded educational institution he attended! 😂😂😂 Love the effort big guy. That’s why we love your videos!!! Keep’ ‘em coming!
Hi Brock while I agree with you that the JCB appears to be a very versatile machine. You have discounted the million more things that a mini excavator can accomplish. Your emphasis is on digging; while, the mini excavator can raise building walls, get shingles on a roof, stack up a fire. I had a Kubota Kx057-5 and except for grading the driveway with my tractor, the excavator has been the most useful piece of equipment I have. I fact my neighbor just bought a Kubota u48-5 and has transformed his property. You videos are great.
This is the most solid machine I have seen in such a small frame. I would have to think hard about buying it, in preference to two machines, I think it would depend on how often it had to be transported and how far.
@@raeparchment Not quite sure what you are presenting with that link, it looks like an excavator with buckets and a pallet fork. The only thing is that it has the "extra arm" like most wheeled excavators have. Menzi would be a better example when it comes to innovative ideas.
Innovative like turning limes into lemons. I’ll take rugged reliability over untested innovation. I love this concept for a machine but being a product of JCB who have proven time and time again to be unreliable, expensive, and having terrible customer service. It’s a hard pass for a lot of people, myself included I think most of us will wait until another company decides to try their hand at this concept.
Make a skid steer with similar engine layout and seat positioning as the JCB, BUT with the ability to run all tractor attachments in the rear. That is why I bought a tractor instead of a skidsteer. Better versatility and I can carry more stuff with my tractor (I made a 3pt carryall box that holds shovels, chainsaws etc). Love a skid steer, but if does just a few things great. I would have to make multiple runs to bring all skid steer attachments to the site. If you have a tractor than add a excavator to your toys then a skid steer depending on what your needs are.
JCB has really gone downhill on reliability, I’ve had two 570-80 telehandlers for my hay business and they were not great. I do love there mono boom skid steer though. Most JCB dealers are upfront about reliability issues as of late. JCB redesigned the Fasttrac because they had lost so many sales to competitors. Setting all that side, this machine is very cool. Can you imagine having a thumb on the excavator and grabble on the front? That would be a nice land clearing machine.
Howdy Brock! What a nifty machine. Positives - 2 in 1 versatility. Negative - if it goes down, you lost both tools. Still, if money wasn't an option, I'd love this thing! Nicely done and thanks for sharing 🤠
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, The visibility from the seat is great, leg room is good if you are 5'. 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.
You must be a nice guy. After the service problems you have had and the refusal to take the machine back I would have them in court to justify the reason why it can not be fixed and why you can use a construction piece of machinery "too much". I do not see how you can afford the machine while it is under warranty. It sounds like trash to me.
They fix it every time but it will only last 1 month to 1day after they had it in the shop for 2 weeks. Since I have work that I need this machine, I just keep working with it leaking until I get 1 job done. I am not lucky, so if I sued them I would lose and be out of more money then what I will be when I trade it in for some other machine.
@@bobwarfel241 You have already beaten yourself by your attitude. It is the skill of the attorney and the lemon laws of your state, not your luck, that will determine the outcome. Most of the time dealers and manufactures will settle out of court instead of facing the unknown of a court case. Have you contacted JCB customer service directly about this problem? Explain the problem and ask them to ether fix the problem permanently or buy back the machine. You have 1200 hours on the machine so you can't expect to receive all of your money back in the case of a buyback. If you do not get your problem solved I would start posting on social media and making youtube vids of the problem you are having with the machine and getting it fixed. You need to deal with the dealer and the manufacturer getting both involved in the postings and vids. Doesn't have to be a polished vid or an hour long as long as it shows the problem honestly, mentions the dealer and the manufacturer, and what they did and did not do for the problem. Weekly updates or daily if needed will start affecting their sales. That's what I would do if it was my machine. I don't know what the warranty is or how much there is left but I would have that machine in the shop until it was fixed, bought back, or was a permanent fixture in their shop taking up work space. I would be a pain in the ass to the dealer and manufacturer until there was an acceptable solution.
I be the R&D department at JCB is a cool place to work. This and the teleskid are really innovative. Wondering if the extendahoe feature prevents use of a hydraulic thumb… that would certainly be a desirable feature.
I kinda like my mecalac 6MCR for versatility! Thanks for the video! I did research the 1CXT and it's an interesting machine and there's not a ton of videos on it.
I love the idea of starting a business with a Mecalac. My concerns are the cost and limit to doing one job at a time. What do you think about my concerns?
@@sergemarlon I just saw your reply. Like anything business related it's a cost/revenue balance. You can accomplish more in a day with a Mecalac than with a mini excavator or a skid steer. One machine to maintain, one machine to insure etc. it's somewhat easy to justify a higher hourly rate as long as it's overall cheaper for a client to hire you over someone with a cheaper hourly who will take more time to do the job. So as long as you have good networking skills, find a niche, do decent marketing etc. the machine will pay for itself and potentially make more money than an other machines because you can get more done more quickly.
@@Gimblevalve Cost is a funny thing. if a tool lets you accomplish twice the work in half the time, so what if it's more expensive? That's still 4 times the work for twice the comparative cost of lets say a mini ex. And it's often more than twice the work in reality, not an exaggeration. I've completed jobs in 45 minutes than would have taken me 4-5 hours with my mini-ex and that's not counting the things I simply would not have been to do in any sane amount of a time with a mini.
@@leslubiesdetienne Don't get me wrong, I think the Mecalac is an amazing machine. What's the aftercare like? JCB seems to have learnt a bad name in thar regard.
they are made or most were made in the uk, here in the uk we think they are cheap shit, i myself bought a Hitach because they are far far far more reliable, they got more break out force and far more comfortable you sit in all day and work, i have used JCB, Doosan, kamatsu, Leibherr, Hyundia, O&K, Terex and JCB are by far the worst of them all. i been in the jockey seat scince 1985, So i really know what i am talking about
That is a fantastic piece of equipment. I would love to have one of those on my farm to take care of just about everything I need a track loader and mini ex for.
This is a very interesting design. I favor the concept of versatility in a single machine. The new Menzi Muck machines are really cool. Have you seen them?
i'm glad this machine was created. it just seems like something i would envision needing and running. m2c. now i need to get a job for someone that will buy one for me to use, lol.
It looks ideal for waterproofing foundations being that the back hoe has side shift which you need for getting lined up with the trench right beside the building.
It’s kind of cool, I like how short it is but it’s got a loader like a tractor kind of more so than a skid steer and a backhoe so it’s kind of like a tractor on tracks kind of jammed close together with a cab, especially with the motor in the front. I like that it’s small but still has high flow.
Hi, I have a New Holland skid steer and a mini skid on order. I'm looking at an excavator. My equipment never travels. If I were starting out would look at this machine. I like the side entry. You can not safely walk under a loaded boom. A front entry loader makes that difficult. Especially if you're bucking logs with a grapple at waste height. I like the mini skids be cause of manuverable, powerful and one step, on and off. Shalom/gw
Thanks for the information, it was a nice business opportunity that this company allowed you to give everyone a demonstration about functionalities of the machine, maybe the next time perhaps you could give everyone a live demonstration of how it works under pressure. Like digging into the dirt, or lifting some heavy objects, muddy traction, you know what I'm saying ?
I never knew a skid steer and a backhoe had a child. It is interesting I wonder if other makers like Case or Komatsu will adopt this new style of machine or if this machine is just a gimmick.
Hey Brock, what is the hydraulic flow to the back of the machine? The front is 27 GPM like you mentioned but I don’t remember you mentioning the exact flow to the boom/stick.
Yes, an 1845 was my first machine, (not counting tractors) and was incredibly useful. The backhoe was sourced from their full size backhoe and was very powerful. Still miss mine
It’s a very interesting looking machine but I honestly don’t see any use for it. I would rather have a skid steer and a mini excavator and a long trailer. The ability to swing a boom 180° with a mini excavator is just priceless to me.
Basically this or Mecalac, they approach the problem from opposite ends, this is a skid steer that has an excavator on the back, and Mecalac is an excavator that allows you to use it as a Skid Steer.
A neat machine. But, it surprises me that ROTO-TILT is never shown in American videos of construction machinery. A mini or wheeled excavator with a root tilt can do all this and much more
Flow and higher volume hoses just determine the speed how fast the fluid gets to the cylinder.....the cylinder diameter is what matters for the raw lifting power.
Wouldn't a backhoe attachment for a skid be a way better option? That thing seems like it would be mediocre as an excavator and mediocre as a skid loader.

This is just a backhoe that is heavier and way slower and tears up turf. It looks cool and is better than a skid steer but an articulating loader will work circles around this and any skid steer. Europe has USA way beat with what they use compared to the ol tired skid steer or pto twist your back around to use implements.
You should be able to, I think it only changes the function of your other joystick to the backhoe from the front bucket controls, but it might change the direction of your tracks so it's intuitive which would be cool!
They are neat machines and a good price point. My concerns are all of the exposed hydraulic lines, small thin linkages and other noticeable weak points. I see a lot of repairs and downtime in its future and due to that reason, the cost essentially goes way up. A slightly used backhoe and an almost new skidsteer would be roughly the same price and you have a "backup" machine for when you need to go do some work. Also a backhoe is way heavier and can drive down the road negating the need to transport it. This machine would also not be a good option for any larger work than landscaping or other small work. Leaving you out of most of the market.
Not only lack of quality, but awful parts availability, and their service department can't figure out what's wrong. Furthermore, he specified he needed the equipment to perform a specific task, they provided equipment that didn't meet the specifications, requiring individual handling of fractions of a pallet rather than handling the pallet as a single whole unit. Totally fine if you're an individual and the end user, but if you're in a business that might have need to move multiple of that pallet in a day, your work load has quadrupled.
It’s not a skid steer don’t try spin it into one.The engine is in the front making it a dozer platform with a backhoe on it.Skid steer platform uses a rear engine that is ballast weight for the loader arms that connect to the rear by the engine creating stability and natural level
So it’s a skid steer with a backhoe on it. Ok for anything while sucking for everything. Maybe landscaping companies would like it. Good luck when it breaks or blows a hose
That's crazy expensive. That machine would be 7 to 10 years old before it's paid for IF the economy doesn't tank in a big way ending all the income opportunities
Pretty much every Excavating or service business has a machine that cost the same amount. A lot of times they have two machines that cost this much to do the same work. My John Deere Skid steer with a few attachments was $100,000
For a machine with this cost, there's no reason the lateral shift of the backhoe boom should be essentially manual. It should be hydraulically operated, period.
@@whiskeyinthejar24 I don’t think one Ram is what would be required. I think it would require a lot of things. You probably need two to make it slide and not bind. Then you need the hoses and you need the electronics to control it. Get much easier. You’re still just moving your lever to move the boom sideways. It’s not like you have to manually do something. They just used the cylinders that are already on it.
@RockhillfarmYT I didn't say better. I said standard. No reason a lateral ram mechanism, to shift the boom, suddenly makes the machine suddenly more complicated or less reliable. In fact, it'd be very simple. I like the concept of this machine a lot. It'd make sense in many scenarios.
Which means a bigger truck and a bigger trailer. I’ve already spent a fortune on trucks and trailers, but I can’t haul two 10,000 pound machines at the same time. Maybe that’s better for a lot of people in their situation but it’s not nothing
While he's inside, showing us the controls... Everything is zoomed in... Did he forget that he had the wrong lens on or had accidentally zoomed in on his phone or something... Because it's really difficult to see basically anything... It felt like my grandmother was holding the phone during FaceTime, and she was pointing it all over the place...
Yeah, I don't think that leg space would be comfortable for long jobs. I think it would actually be painful after some time. That alone would be a reason I wouldn't choose this machine. I do like the concept though.
If that machine had a hydraulic boom shift rather than having to push or drag it side to side it woukd have increased itd usefulness by a fair bit. It didn't even need to be any amazing feats of engineering it could have just been a small hydraulic motor and a piece of cable looped around it once and attached either side simple engineering like they once used on side shift forklifts. Something in my opinion that would have made the machine that much better .

These 1cx have been out 30 years now. You see more 2cx in uk as it’s in between that and a backhoe. Normally used for tight street works

Hey Brock, what is the hydraulic flow to the back of the machine? The front is 27 GPM like you mentioned but I don’t remember you mentioning the exact flow to the boom/stick.
Yah it's every where and because of it we build our world building jcb
Been out years here in England
Am i having a stroke or was the focus constantly reconfiguring and shaking the footage
Should be good counterweight with that boom on the rear for lifting on the front
Jack of all trades
case had the same concept over 40 years ago with the 1845
All I get when searching for that is a skid steer.
Yes, an 1845 was my first machine, (not counting tractors) and was incredibly useful. The backhoe was sourced from their full size backhoe and was very powerful. Still miss mine
It’s a very interesting looking machine but I honestly don’t see any use for it. I would rather have a skid steer and a mini excavator and a long trailer. The ability to swing a boom 180° with a mini excavator is just priceless to me.
Cool Machine
JCB builds countries ❤❤❤😊
Can the seat be used in the side position instead of just facing front or back
Basically this or Mecalac, they approach the problem from opposite ends, this is a skid steer that has an excavator on the back, and Mecalac is an excavator that allows you to use it as a Skid Steer.
It is a kind of MINI BACKHOE LOADER, ON TRACKS.
Versatile is the most Versatile machine😊. Made in canada for canada. But yes jcb does make nice iron.
Close. The Kubota M62 is the most versatile with the 3pt. Conversion.
A neat machine. But, it surprises me that ROTO-TILT is never shown in American videos of construction machinery. A mini or wheeled excavator with a root tilt can do all this and much more
NEEDED TO HEAR ABOUT BUCKETS REACH FRONT AN BACK LOADING A DUMP TRUCK
Flow and higher volume hoses just determine the speed how fast the fluid gets to the cylinder.....the cylinder diameter is what matters for the raw lifting power.
Wouldn't a backhoe attachment for a skid be a way better option? That thing seems like it would be mediocre as an excavator and mediocre as a skid loader.

It would be nice if the backhoe was removable and could be replaced by a 6 way dozer blade. Always thought a loader-dozer would be a good machine.
This is just a backhoe that is heavier and way slower and tears up turf. It looks cool and is better than a skid steer but an articulating loader will work circles around this and any skid steer. Europe has USA way beat with what they use compared to the ol tired skid steer or pto twist your back around to use implements.
Remember the drott backhoe track machine usually a JCB 2 or a JCB 3Clll backhoe fitted
British JCB that is 🇬🇧🇬🇧😊
John deere had a sliding backhoe in the 60s on a tracked frunt loader.
Granted no rubber tracks then..
Parts and the dealership network are the issues with JCB, a neighbour has a telehandler...
Are you familiar with the Mecalac MCR series?
Only what I’ve seen in videos
Can you drive it while you're facing backwards?
You should be able to, I think it only changes the function of your other joystick to the backhoe from the front bucket controls, but it might change the direction of your tracks so it's intuitive which would be cool!
very interesting
More versatile than the Huddig 1370?
Is that an eletric machine?
I showed the diesel engine in the video
They are neat machines and a good price point. My concerns are all of the exposed hydraulic lines, small thin linkages and other noticeable weak points. I see a lot of repairs and downtime in its future and due to that reason, the cost essentially goes way up.
A slightly used backhoe and an almost new skidsteer would be roughly the same price and you have a "backup" machine for when you need to go do some work. Also a backhoe is way heavier and can drive down the road negating the need to transport it.
This machine would also not be a good option for any larger work than landscaping or other small work. Leaving you out of most of the market.
Good works tractors warns against JCB for quality issues. great job as usual, Brock!
Good works is a crank.
Saw that video too
Not only lack of quality, but awful parts availability, and their service department can't figure out what's wrong. Furthermore, he specified he needed the equipment to perform a specific task, they provided equipment that didn't meet the specifications, requiring individual handling of fractions of a pallet rather than handling the pallet as a single whole unit. Totally fine if you're an individual and the end user, but if you're in a business that might have need to move multiple of that pallet in a day, your work load has quadrupled.

It’s not a skid steer don’t try spin it into one.The engine is in the front making it a dozer platform with a backhoe on it.Skid steer platform uses a rear engine that is ballast weight for the loader arms that connect to the rear by the engine creating stability and natural level
So it’s a skid steer with a backhoe on it. Ok for anything while sucking for everything. Maybe landscaping companies would like it. Good luck when it breaks or blows a hose
Looks like a good machine, but also looks like its trying to do too much at once on a very compact footprint.
How much ?
I guess it is less tippy going up grade and loading on trailer
Would of been nice to see what was being talked about.
That's crazy expensive. That machine would be 7 to 10 years old before it's paid for IF the economy doesn't tank in a big way ending all the income opportunities
Pretty much every Excavating or service business has a machine that cost the same amount. A lot of times they have two machines that cost this much to do the same work.
My John Deere Skid steer with a few attachments was $100,000
Side entry door is better for saftey dont have to risk getting out above your boom .
For a machine with this cost, there's no reason the lateral shift of the backhoe boom should be essentially manual. It should be hydraulically operated, period.
Are you sure that is better? Adding a lot of extra components when it’s really easy to just push it over with the boom
@@RockhillfarmYTis one more ram that much more complicated?
@@whiskeyinthejar24 I don’t think one Ram is what would be required. I think it would require a lot of things. You probably need two to make it slide and not bind.
Then you need the hoses and you need the electronics to control it.
Get much easier. You’re still just moving your lever to move the boom sideways. It’s not like you have to manually do something. They just used the cylinders that are already on it.
@RockhillfarmYT I didn't say better. I said standard. No reason a lateral ram mechanism, to shift the boom, suddenly makes the machine suddenly more complicated or less reliable. In fact, it'd be very simple.
I like the concept of this machine a lot. It'd make sense in many scenarios.
I keep wishing my backhoe could fill my front end loader for easier movement of material. I guess that would be a s t r e t c h for one machine to do.
Don't need to take two trips just have a trailer big enough to haul both at the same time
Which means a bigger truck and a bigger trailer. I’ve already spent a fortune on trucks and trailers, but I can’t haul two 10,000 pound machines at the same time.
Maybe that’s better for a lot of people in their situation but it’s not nothing
I have heard that JCB parts are expensive and repair centers are few and far between. It's an overseas machine. True?
It is not an overseas machine. They are somewhat regional in the US. Mainly on the east and in the south.
While he's inside, showing us the controls... Everything is zoomed in... Did he forget that he had the wrong lens on or had accidentally zoomed in on his phone or something... Because it's really difficult to see basically anything... It felt like my grandmother was holding the phone during FaceTime, and she was pointing it all over the place...
Trust jcb to pull one outthe bag fantastic
I didn't know such a thing even existed, what will they think of next?
The 1CX has been around for 30 years or more .
Yeah, I don't think that leg space would be comfortable for long jobs. I think it would actually be painful after some time. That alone would be a reason I wouldn't choose this machine. I do like the concept though.
Interesting. But it must be available with a hydraulic thumb or I wouldn’t consider it.
Maşallah
If that machine had a hydraulic boom shift rather than having to push or drag it side to side it woukd have increased itd usefulness by a fair bit. It didn't even need to be any amazing feats of engineering it could have just been a small hydraulic motor and a piece of cable looped around it once and attached either side simple engineering like they once used on side shift forklifts. Something in my opinion that would have made the machine that much better .
Tidy and versatile.
