JCB 426 Agri vs Volvo L70

[Acke]

How is a -06 6000h JCB 426 Agri compare to a Volvo L 70 same age?
Looks to be much less money in the JCB !

Real world in my opinion the Volvo is a better machine on site but can not comment on the road performance

Is the L70 worth dobble money?

 

[Big Dom]

The difference is the Volvo prob has another 20,000h left in her, does the JCB?????

It depends what you want it for. I have an 07 L70F and wouldn’t part with it for a JCB for what we’re doing (loading) however if I was a contractor pushing grass all day I think I would look at a 419 or 435.. I have no doubt the Volvo will last us a very long time, JCB however not so sure.
