Whilst you have pics of the telehandler and fastrax there are new trucks that have just been launched - i live all of about 2 miles from the JCB World HQ and they had the press launch about 3 weeks ago. There should be some pics floating about somewhere.
PUX:
u mean the back hoe jobbie and the airportable???

No, the HMVRT (high mobility variable reach truck) and the HMUV (high mobility utility vehicle) - both launched on the 29th June 2006 at the UK's Defence Vehicle Dynamics exhibition, and of course to the press @ the HQ down the road!

ah yeah i heard the guys that went to the show on about these they say there spot on maybe a little breakable as in the inside etc etc they look cool though :D lucky u living near all them top machines do u get to em do there tricks and stuff :?:
smo:
Canna say i know what the indose is like, only seen them from the outside but their existing milly product range seems to be a big hit around the world so i dare say these will meet the grade.
They do, do, trick shows and things and have a display team from memory with dancing diggers! Just out on a private estate is a testing ground which you can look over from some of the local hills to see the new stuff being tested and broken!
Down side is of course lorry after lorry of every concievable JCB pooring up and down the roads from one plant to another, gets a bit annoying @ 3-4am when they thunder past over the potholes caused by them driving too fast making the whole house shake!!!
