Jcb 542 70 agri pro issues

[Joe Wood]

Recently bought a new jcb 542 70 agri pro. Finding that it hasn’t got the hydraulic power that the old model had when using the grain bucket. Struggle to get a full bucket with out forcing the boom down to roll the bucket back using the floor. Neighbour bought one at same time and his old 541 70 runs rings round it. Jcb won’t take it serious and don’t think it’s an issue. Just wondering if anyone else has found the same problem ?

Have heard the same from the new range from people who have demo’ed them. Merlo are doing very well out of it!

Tend to find the newer version isn’t as powerful as the last,whatever machine it happens to be

Had a very similar problem with an Agri Pro. It really struggled cleaning yards out and at the muck heap.

And Kramer around JD dealers in SW.

Got a 6 month old agripro 538-60 and it goes really well. Loaded muck on the weekend no problem

At least yours hasn't got a bent chassis.
