JCB are pretty poor atm. 420 has already had a number of issues- even things that shouldn’t happen like hydraulic connections only hand tight, lock stops breaking, wipers giving up, not to mention thin paintwork


how the original replacement for the one in the pic even made it out the factory to me was a mystery

Very nice. How do you rate it.Bought a petrol ranger earlier in the year and luv it wouldn’t want to be without it now. Is the Kubota engine an improvement.
Never had 1 before, it’s going well, suspension is unreal, no flies in the eyes and obviously better/safer with the kids. Done 60 odd mile and still over 3/4 of a tank of diesel. Would’ve been through a tank of petrol on the quad in that time

If that’s on 40 litre, (8.8gal) that’s 22mpg :eek: that’s better than my Isuzu!!!
yes tripped the milometer when filled up got 2 bars left and on 150 miles now. thats on pretty steep ground, some towing and generally not hanging around....very impressed and not missing the petrol jerry cans one bit!

Yes exactly same bit of towing and running round stock will get around 200mile from tank pulling all time and on road lessens it abit but got some pull not exactly pulling your average quad trailer
