Mystery backhoe loader

[topkit]

Thanks folks! It got me hunting for a magazine that i remembered i had Classic Plant & Machinery April 2008 there is a very good article with pictures about IH backhoe loaders, i have seen quite a few of the earlier 3500 models but not many of the later ones.

There's 2 3500's slowly returning to nature in NE Hampshire, the only ones I've ever seen.

Interesting to see a 260A again. The company I worked for after I left school in the mid seventies had one in their yard one day when they were looking to replace some John Deeres. They never bought one, but some years later I worked for Saville Tractors in Stratford-Upon-Avon and to the best of my knowledge if we sold any, it was very low volumes. It is good to see there are some still around though.

I think the one behind the IH is a Weatherill Loader not a digger..

There's another machine in between. Look on the ground at the number of wheels. There's also the tops of two back actors in view. The IH's one is inline being a centre mount. The machine behind has the "tele" wording on top of its dipper.

The loader behind the two TLBs is a Volvo, something like a 641.
The second TLB looks like a white cab/grab handle so possibly a JCB of some sort.
