Been looking for a digger a jcb 130 has cropped up at that age are they sumitumo or full jcb. If full jcb are they reliable?

Your possibly right I used to have a 2002 sumitumo 120 it was the best digger I ever owned so would definitely buy one again

Very good digger. Isuzu engine/Kawasaki pump.

Keep it maintained it’s as good as any and a lot smoother on the grading jobs than most.

We’ve got 2 2006 ones great old machines think we,ll keep them till they die good for loading with the big bucket there 15 tons

Our js130 groundworker is a 2005, got the Isuzu engine, pretty bombproof. Think the later 130’s went to Jcb engines that aren’t as good?
Had a sumi SH120 before and was quite similar.
As said above I think CASE took on the old Sumi workings when JCB changed in 2006. Could be wrong though

Has anyone replaced the glass or plastic in the roof in a js130? Mine is a 2005 and plastic, new price is horrendous, I see the newer js130 had a glass window in the roof, does anyone know if that fits?
many thanks
