What’s the legality of all this as most tractors are limited to 40k?

To much of these machines are made in China now , weather it is made under license or not is not good for the long term service life of machines, JCB need to get there act together before it is to late for the company

Is the problem that JCB is too dependent on parts and components all coming in from the likes of China that it ends up causing delays in the development and production of their machines?

I'm sure all the tm300 had brakes on both? So would assume all the newer ones would too.
Seems daft not too

I can tell you 100%my 08 310s doesnt have rear brakesI'm sure all the tm300 had brakes on both? So would assume all the newer ones would too.

Seems there is 5 disks each side on the front and as it is permanently 4wd they omit the rear brakes
Cheap skate of JCB . At least my now departed Manitou had them in both. The recently arrived Weidemann brakes are not the best, not sure what it has , but glad it’s hydrostatic as very little need to use them apart from roading down hill.I can tell you 100%my 08 310s doesnt have rear brakes

The Americans say JCB stands for Junk Cheaply Built...........
Maybe a bit harsh, but compared to Volvo, Komatsu, HitachI , probably.

Just about every manitou model has brakes in both from 1999 onwards
One or 2 exceptions to this but most do and for some reason always thought the TM's did

I know because I opened both axles up at 12k hours to check them as it does a lot of clamp work
Brakes stayed in there ,as good as new

Any more news on its release? The JCB website still lists the TM320 with Tier 4.
Not sure the 50Kph appeals and certainly not something we need. Tier 5 seems more of a big deal for them than the end user. Any other refinements that make it appealing.
About to change our JD3800 and have to make a decision.

50K in a bendy loader? I'd need a few shandies before trying that!

Old post I know..... been in out of the front axle three times. Had to change the brakes too because the back off pins weren’t torqued or thread locked in. Last one came out a few weeks back, jammed in the crown wheel and blew the lsd out the side of the casting.
check your back off pins if you’re ever in there.

Schaffer 9640t replaced our 3800, awesome machine bags of power comfy and very good on the road at 40kph definitely worth a look if your in the market for a pivot.
