Contractor has bigger front tyres and awful steering lock,more power,i think more pump flow and many extras over the 3cx.some even servo controlled

blimey do they still make them ? Once upon time they were everywhere, don't think I've seen one less than about 20years old recently

Depends on which era...

Genrerally, All JCB BHL's are Sitemasters, it used to be the high spec version, now its pretty standard, Contractor is the new Sitemaster.

Theres still plenty round here, wont be a new one mind.

We have a 56 plate Contractor, has the bigger front wheels, heated seat, servos and hyd front hitch. I think it has more power than a sitemaster. Contractor models have the plastic roof in black rather than yellow.

Yes, contractor has black roof, from 98 they were true 40k, bigger lift and bucket cylinders, powershift, bigger pumps, hammer lines standard, air seat, and srs was standard before it was on sitemaster, AC torque lock, servos and powerslide are still options. + 10 hp, 20" wheels.
