Inside The JCB factory BBC 2

[Still Farming]

On now.

 

[Jim B]

Shame Greg Wallance is presenting it.

Paint process seems very old fashioned compared to most European factories I've been to!

 

[Still Farming]

Good program

 

[Lincs Lass]

Made me laugh when he says ,With proper maintenance ,it could last for 60 years ,,one of our local guys bought a new one and it didnt last 60 days before it stop dead coming out of town and it wouldn't move because the electronics had fried .

If they used wet paint for the black instead of powder it would help

Greg Wallace is irritating, but some of these programmes are really good, despite him!
They have the usual problem of trying to balance ‘entertain ‘ with ‘inform’.

 

[Still Farming]

Nearly all repeats on TV so a thumbs up to the BBC for a new ,different, interesting programme for a change.

The problem being lack of surface prep, needs a shotblasting line.

According to this, they do have a shot blasting line, unless they’ve pulled it out?

Yep, i know quite a few like that. They are a hell of a nice machine to drive but the electricals really let them down. A great design let down by cheap components
