Nicks Blog | Digger gets Eco-friendly with the new JCB 3CX & 4CX

[RSS Bot]

My last port of call during my recent visit to the JCB factory was the "Arena", a purpose built demonstration and product evaluation area within the grounds of the Lakeside works.

It was here that we were able to get up close and personal with these new machines for the first time. Our host, Joe, offered to make us a hot drink using the integrated hot drinks machine that has been complimentarily fitted to the first 100 machines off the production line. The drinks machine is available as an optional extra on all other backhoe loaders in the Eco range.

This reminded me of the time way back in the late 60's when my father took delivery of a new JCB 3C from the local Southampton dealership, at the time F. English, who presented him with an in cab 12 volt kettle which at the time was a groundbreaking development in terms of operator comfort!
