Not a JS520? I would say a JS460 but I still haven't seen an Auto Generation JS460 yet :think:

Well David I know what it is but will leave it up to you :mrgreen: . I was at JCB HQ on thursday as an invited new product tester and it's official there is a brand new JCB Logo - After seeing it a hundred times it actually does kinda grow on you :? Got some cracker photos which I may share later with approval :ugeek:

Anyhow here is the new logo up close and personal on a lovely 8 tonner.

:think: i guess as long as it digs and loads, it still is a JCB .. no matter what it says on the machine, stands out more from a distance :think: i wonder if MacDonalds would do away with their M, as you said the other day .. Perhaps i am showing my age here, not liking change ... still, the machines are so vastly different today

Well he could be lucky and a have been given a CAT demo like we had .....a CAT428, 2 year year old machine with very low hours......we simply sent it back again in disgust, we were buying new and opted for more of the same = JCB.

Anyway we picked up our 8085 demo today so a few days will see how it fares. First remarks from the low loader driver were that he reckoned they had cheapened the build quality! ( how they managed that god knows, I already thought they had acheived that) Oh and yes it's got that new fangled livery on it!
