[QUOTE="Runs Like a Deere, post: 7875412, member: 164647"] He might regret a JCB though depending on what they buy. Reliability of all telehandlers is not as good as a tractor and I have heard some absolute horror stories with JCB. We used to have a 520-50 JCB it was a good enough machine but QC from JCB was poor, it knackered its hubs while still under warranty, we never did get the full story why but I suspect it left the factory with either not enough oil or the wrong oil in them, no visible leaks and very low hours when it did it. We had a 08 plate 32.6 merlo after that which was not too bad but after 6k hours it needed some work on the gearbox so we chopped it in for a 15 plate replacement and it was a disaster of a machine, leaked like a sieve and plagued with electrical gremlins for pretty much its entire life with us. We now have a bobcat 3060 which is a breath of fresh air in comparison and has a very comprehensive 5 yr warranty. [/QUOTE]
