Southern Alberta Canada | We have a 535-9.5. They are an incredible loader but as they get older they can be a real pain. Ours is a 2000 model and it has just over 7000hrs (allot of very hard hours) and the machine has been neglected. The Perkins engines will get gutless after awhile I pulled the fuel pump, took it in and had it rebuilt and it pulls better than new now. I've heard the JCB engines are very difficult to service the pumps on but that's all I've heard about them. JCB has a very "unique" way of wiring their equipment and that can be a nightmare, all the wires are undersized and you will get mystery hotspots and burnt wiring after several years, we see this more on our Fastracts then on the loader though. We bought a new New Holland last year, it has a little more capacity but a shorter boom (7m), it seems like a better machine in many ways but I have to admit the JCB has a better feel to it. | |
