Kramer 356 v JCB 532/60

[Nostalgic]

Looking to replace JCB 526/56. Any thoughts ?.

Kramer may be a chunk more money?

Consider a centre cab Kramer, much nicer than a sideboom unless you've low sheds.

Also look at a Bobcat telehandler?
Be a chunk less money than a yellow one

Was in the same position as you took demo of both Kramer and Jcb
Kramer was a little more money liked the cab lay out got on well with the 3 speed hydro and visibility as it was on the top height setting
Jcb cab had better mirrors big space in cab higher standard spec but that big tilting ram but that sticks out badly and a big iPad dash I didn’t like

we are looking to swap our JCB 53170 super ag it has been a good machine with very few problems over its 8000 hours since we don't keep cattle these days we are thinking of a six mtr machine we have priced up a masey /bobcat and it is £16000 less than the JCB it also has interest free finance whereas the JCB finance would be £4000. the other thing is I am told the new JCBs have electric problems I must say that I favour the JCB due to the good service we have had in the past but the £20000 difference is a big temptation
