JCB TM420

[Yorky]

Just taken delivery of a brand new Tm420, it’s got a terrible squeal from the exhaust under load. Does anybody else have a problem? It’s the first one the dealers sold so unsure if it’s a common problem

@Bald Rick has one too

Had ours since August (?) last year and 2000 hours later, it has had a few issues such as door catches failing, joystick failing, few headstock bolts working loose etc AND a very strange turbo whistle over certain revs - but I rarely use it myself
Feedback from the men suggests that it’s half as good again as the 320s and streets ahead of the Manitou we had on demo
