Jcb 3 and log splitter

Post #1 by woodmanjimmy » Fri Oct 03, 2014 8:15 am

Hi everyone I'm new here I own a jcb 3c I beleive :lol: basically she doesn't look pretty, has no backhoe just counter weight, none of the lights work but she starts on the button every time, moves my logs around my barn for me and does exactly what I need.
I had considered selling her a few weeks ago to fund a firewood processor machine but am holding back now on the hope I can buy a hydraulic splitter and somehow attach this and link into the system on the beast ??
I'm a novice can do most things with knowledge unfortunately I have none in this field.
I would appreciate any help or advice anybody on here could give me as it seems silly to not try and use what I already have

Your machine looks like its a JCB 700 loader. Quite rare.

Can anyone make out the badge on the mudguard? Does it say 700 or 3CS? I'm nearly sure some of the early 700's were badged as 3DS'.

With the parallel loading arms I'm amazed if its a 3CS.

They are very rare. Yours is in very good nick which makes it both rare and desirable. Any JCB from the early 70's are hard to find now but the loaders are more scarce. I've seen a few 2DS' and 3CS' but its nice to see one badged as a 700 which derived from the JCB takeover of Chaseside.
