Right I do not own any plant, its all lease from JCB, so as a tool hire supervisor I have micros, 1.5 ton machines high lift thwaites dumpers and the newsons.
It never ceases to amaze me the knocks and scratches and bits "that just fell off" that my clients repot.
or the idiot that parked on top of a pile of agrigate and undermined the vehical which ended up on its side
so I am not a driver or owner just a greese monkey, and probably not the best one at that
so its just a general hello and who I am

Welcome to CMN!

Hi Ian and welcome to CMN

Martyn

Welcome to CMN Ian

yep and to top it, I have just had an 8014 dump its coolant on someones drive
however the operator wants to go fishing this end as opposed to digging footings, so I will exchange on monday, have a look at it and if necessary call the jcb boys

thats odd I have now had 2 8014's boil over on the same site with the same driver but thats tool hire! our equipment is always faulty its never user error

from Mr Stennetts neck of the woods i see
i had a self drive jcb from him for about 4 years ,did a lot of watermain rehab work all round that area for pipeway about 7-8 years ago

yes I know stuart very well, he has sold his fleet of mini and micro diggers and uses me now
probably my best customer ever he actualy steam cleans refuels and regreases before he returns I could never wish for a better customer
