Chepstow Plant's New JCB 3CX Eco advanced

This is my new machine which arrived last week. JCB 3CX with excavator controls attached to the operator's seat. Machine will be used for jobs around the quarry including ditch cleaning and high pressure clay and water pipe renewal. I only have a couple of niggly faults with it -
1. Pallet forks fitted :arrrrgh:

2. Steering wheel does not adjust enough :thumbdown:

3. NO RADIO fitted ( optional extra) :thumbdown:

Overall not to bad, your views and opinions please .

i found the lever hits the steering wheel when turning the seat :dizzy:

and if it has jcb ,s own tyres fitted they will let you down :thumbdown:

Some of chepstows gear working here at lafarge eversley , they all appear to be kipping in their vans

Looks a decent machine i quite fancy the servo controls I wonder why they fit Goodyear on the front and Jcb rear it may be worth asking the dealer to throw in a radio the guy who got my Jcb new did that and got one and a drivers pack so you never no your luck
