There shouldn't be much wrong with that.

The issue that they have is that everyone wants to use them and nobody ever bothers to service them. First machine to start in the morning and last to stop at night, then all hell breaks loose when they break down.

I like JCBs the best, I'm sure they've made some bad ones, but I always liked them. They don;t require huge amounts of attention, just grease them, ideally when you fill them with fuel and keep the oil and filters changed on time and they will last a good while. Just remember that they are not excavators, they're loaders.

One last thing is that the agricultural spec machines are much better than the construction machine which are specified as little more than glorified cranes.
