JCB attachments - any good?

[whatnow]

As above, thinking of changing a grain bucket and muck grab. Are JCB's own good, and do they make them themselves or are they a JCB sticker on someone else's product?

They brand alot of attachments imo!

So depends but Eastern Attachments make alot of xform buckets and grabs for them. Basically same xform stuff as cherry products distribute.

I thought jcb buckets were made by strimech and were the same as their pro ag range.

Had some new 1.00cu mtr 1.50m mtr a few months ago- - seem to last well - they import them from China apparently - and store them by me for UK JCB dealer distribution also see new Geith Digging Buckets arriving -- not sure about other kit.

They buy stuff all over the place! but most of the agri dealers will be selling the eastern attachments xform range branded as JCB.
