Anybody looked at these?

Big ad in CT magazine. JC MAC. Built in Turkey under licence it seems. JCB copy or what? Anybody purchased yet or any opinions? Never heard of them before.

Hmmm, website shows one machine and that's it.

Looks all right to me, whats the price of one, a lot cheaper than a jcb i expect.

They do look good but the website isn't giving much info.No matter what you click on,it goes back to the home page or one machine in stock! Not much of an advertisement for them!

i smell a RAT but maybes not..
why no further info on Website is a strange one.
No Videos No company Background info.
No mention of Backup support anything?
Its deffo a v good looking clone of the UK made machine thats for sure.
the man in question here is only 23yr old also.

& whats with this .co email & domain name ? something no right here.

soz with a name like Mcnally there has to be an irish connection somewhere (Traveller type possibly?)
even tho companies house says he is British

I hope iam totally heading off on the wrong track & JC# are quite concerned

Did some googling and Found a write up about them, sounds like they are Turkish built and launching in October!

I believe it is just a random branded Cukurova from turkey as stayed earlier

They also make Backhoes in Bobcat colours and branding for lesser regulated emissions areas such as Africa and the Middle East

Explains the branding, JCMac being Joshua and Clive McNally and the origins of the machine being Çukurova from Turkey as noted.

Interesting they say they're pitching it 15% below the mainstream. Would want to be substantially less I reckon if they are a ‘simpler’ machine and they want to gain a toe hold in the market. If it was 30% less then they’d really get a lot of people’s attention.

Yes I agree. 15% isn’t enough to make me go and look even. If the machine is £85,000 instead of £100,000 from the mainstream I can borrow the extra £15,000 for £3,500/year for 5 years and have piece of mind. That £3,500 is only 7 days work on a site so a no brainier to stay with the likes of JCB. They won’t have a second hand market either so really 50% cheaper and we’ll have a look.
