The JCB Loadall wheels are made by GKN, and I think they are finished by them too. I’ve never had any paint issues with the wheels. Although some numpty does seem to have scratched every rim on my current machine, from, I assume, fitting the tyres?:banghead:.....you can’t fudging win:rolleyes:

I'm happy to be told the cab air intake is lowdown on the cab, never serviced them, just driven a few. Our old fastrac had the intake right behind the exhaust!, as did a fendt 612. And all the mb tracs And a mf 399.. now that thing was a nightmare!

I don't want to take this totally off topic but the yellow isn't the worst the black powder coat is hopeless my tractor does a lot of fert work and winter road work and I simply haven't got time to wash it every day but my 2011 6930 is still tidy my 2016 6155 isn't and both have had the same treatment
who's muckspreader is that ?

we have a 54 plate 530-70 and a 15 plate 521-70 at work the old ones done 15000hrs now with very little trouble yet the 15 plate one hasn't even got 1000hrs on it and keeps having niggles, Steering position sensors, fan controls and light not working properly. Considered the old one lives in pig muck most of the paints still on it bar where its had stone damage yet on the new one the paint on the top doors coming off plus bits on the side of the cab and the plastic trim on the cab has faded terribly. Have AC on the new one, although it useless barely keeps the cab cool while working in grain-stores never mind with sun on it.

On the new cab who else thought the front worklight mount looked a bit of an afterthought and just sort of bodged on quick giving it a bog eyed look with 3 lights on one side and a single light on the other. Never mind the folding grab handle can imagine a few coming a cropper with that over time.

I did notice they’ve put the 7pin trailer plug back up on the right hand light stalk again ????? If your cable reaches it will be so slack that it catches the ground turning 1 way and probably too short so pulls out turning the other way [emoji849]

Isn’t that always there on differing models?
Our 536 is like that and I recall the 541 is in the middle above the p/u hitch.
