There's still a heck of a lot of weight 'on the arm' though

Anyone who has driven anything with a back hoe, or a 360 or similar will know what I mean...  that point where there is just no grip left and all you can do is drag yourself out with the bucket !!

 :lol:

my dad had the original 3c version of the jcb, dunno bout its weight but nothing could shift it (except itself)  forget trying to walk it out, it would drag the earth or the hydraulics wouldnt give anymore before it moved.

now he has a 3cx and u can walk it like a crab out of situations (dad isnt too impressed when his field has gouges in it where before it didnt.. ;) )

I used to take Americans to jcb to look at the plant.
America turf (job what it was booked under that name) had 4 coaches and one yank said that the dancing ones were a special build as no tractor could do that, well to put him in his place the guide said pick one  of the first five ( about to be finished) and we will place that on the display.
Anyway the yank missed his dinner so he could watch them finnish the one he picked out  and his face was a picture when he watched it in the display.

I have watched the dancing tractors may a time at jcb but have not listened to the music (have always been down at ground leval with the rest of the crew/drivers). Joys of being a coach driver  :D
(miss the full time job but not the hours)

There's nothing more impressive than the site of an experienced driver offroading a JCB.

Bulldozers are quite cool too when they push themselves out with the bucket.
