Is the JCB 214s extend a hoe a good machine?

Is the JCB 214s extend a hoe a good machine?

The extend-a-hoe is nice, but not a lot of power when you get it slid all the way out. The machine is stable, probably one of the most stable on the market, or it is supposed to be anyway. Overall it is a good machine.

When did my dad buy a JCB 214?

My Dad bought a JCB 214s 4×4 extend a hoe Dec. of 2004. It is a pretty good machine. I dont think it as good as the previous JCBs though. Seems it doesnt quite have the power that our other JCB had. It does not go as fast if you drive it on the roas. It idles louder, may just have been set to high, not sure.

Can a JCB be used as a backhoe?

If all you were going to use a 4x4x4 JCB for is a loader on flat ground it would be fine otherwise it doesn’t make a good all purpose backhoe. I would rather have a Case or Deere anyday over a JCB. If the JCB 4x4x4 didn’t have 4wheel steering it would be completely useless I have run it in 2wheel steering when I was in certain situations.

Here is the first 4x4x4 backhoe on the world. made by Hidromek of Turkey. it was manufactured in 1991. JCB folowed that application… later, Case (european) and others. Now Cat had started producing 4x4x4 backhoe (444E). I think sooner or later this design will replace with regular types.

Is the JCB 4x4x4 with 4Wheel steering useless?

If the JCB 4x4x4 didn’t have 4wheel steering it would be completely useless I have run it in 2wheel steering when I was in certain situations. The center of gravity in the JCBs is too high those big front tires give up alot of stability. I have had the JCB on the verge of tipping on its side a few times let me tell you it scared me quite abit.
