I liked the 50 B 's.Good solid machine.We had a few fitted with hammers.Never had the problem we had with other makes.The Perkins engine was also very reliable.

Would you rather have had a JCB at that time?

It was 1977 then, so yes i would of preferred a JCB, but i was young and thought it was worth the experience to try other machines
