We currently run a jcb 8052 but are thinking of replacing it in another few months tho not with another jcb (not happy with the crappy build quality etc). So I thought I would ask you guys what your opinions were.

I would suggest Takeuchi or Hitachi but thats just my opinion

Hello Neil
Hitachi are very good. A couple of them are being used on the culvert job by our house.I have also been told by a few people that run them that they can't fault them.Reliable with bags of power

While were on the subject has anyone had any experence with Cat 5/6 tonners?

Ive been buying Kubota for 20 years, and I cant fault them, if summats wrong they will sort it properly, just had them change some hyd hoses on my KX 080 8 tonners that 'might' fail in the future thats more like service
