Good god no!!! Thankfully it's not an Eco so it could just be something they tried and hopefully didn't like!!!! I can see something like this happening, I mean the js's have all black counterweights now!

Tell me about it joe there just seems to be more and more black on them these days I'am not to struck on the new js colour scheme either wonder if there ex demo machines they seem to have some parts from the Eco machines like the dash and black steering column I quite fancy going to the sale could be some bargains to be had

The main reason why the new JS range with the black counterweight is to identify them as being to Tier 4 engine requirement.Personally think it looks great !

I'am sure it will grow on me though it took a while for the new decals to grow on me there meant to have a more comfortable cab aswel I think

The cabs got flat glass on the front screen! It's also a 70/30 split instead of 50/50!!! I saw my first new generation js on site tonite in Sutton in Ashfield! Think it was a 160!!!
