In Sweden we just read about the Hydradig.
Good idea or not?

I personally think it's a good idea! If JCB sort out there reliability issues they should sell well!

The reliability comment I have seen on another forum. Do JCB have a bad name currently? Someone said words to this effect: ''just like some of the Scandinavian companies have been building for years but with added unreliability''. Is that unfair?

The new breed of JS seem to always be breaking down! There's a recurring joke on Facebook groups that new machines come with their own fitters van to follow them around!
I saw a post on Facebook earlier of a hydradig that's gone to work in Holland.....the operator was saying its a fantastic machine with fantastic stability! Time will tell I guess
