If not it looks very similar, a Hy-mac 580 in the photo.

Nice JCB brochures there, not many of the later 2D's around, and I suspect few were used as intended.

We used to drop off the MF 220 from the MF 203 and that worked but the JCB would be a numb old lump I reckon.

Great pics there again, I was only looking up William press the other day, They did a lot of the Gas pipelines around here in the South East the other company that also did a lot of Pipes for North Sea gas was OC Summers.

Seconded great pics.

The old Scammell Pioneer has a big job on getting that excavator out of the mud.
I know by winching very very slowy with snatch blocks they could achieve amazing feats.

The white 4x4 with the Scammell is interesting it is a Portugese UMM.
There were a lot of weird and wonderful 4x4s imported into the UK in 70s 80s when 4wd started to really take off and people realised what an outdated crock of sh### Land Rovers were by then ! ( other views are available ) Eventually of course the Jap 4x4 pick up became King of the Hill.

Also like the International leaflet / brochure .
There are a lot of niche products there that must have sold very few. But the big seller the 3434 Tracair loader compressor does not even get a title !
They must have sold hundreds as every tarmac gang in the land had one. They were the standard bit of kit for a long time.
They had a very hard life as like building site dumpers they were usually driven by the most useless/junior/incapacitated/drunk ( sometimes all four ) member of the crew !
The JCB Airmaster replaced most of them eventually.

Also like the Spanish Dodge low loader in that brochure.

Would I be correct in thinking that some IH products may not have been IH origin?
