Ditto.  JCB is generally weak in at least one important area per machine from what I've seen and the price of parts you keep throwing at that will about break you.  I worked at the local utilities and while I worked in the office I was around the JCB equipment and saw parts invoices.  They liked their small 4-wheel steer backhoes and kept buying them as well as at least one mini-ex.  Lots of electrical issues, some important, some didn't keep the machine from running, and a general poor quality is what I saw.  Everything wore twice as fast with regard to pins and bushings and whatever engines and pumps they used seeped oil after a year or so.  On state bid they would be a cheaper machine but parts were twice as high as Deere and New Holland.  So they seem like a company with good ideas but poor execution.
