Are JCB Skid Steers Good?

JCB skid steers are popular, and they live up to their excellent reputation. JCB is the only company that makes skid steers with telescopic booms. These have greater reach and height than other skid steers. All of their skid steers have powerful engines, providing a lot of torque, and allowing them to deal with the most difficult of jobs. In addition, they have excellent cooling systems. There is cool air from the top and hot air is pushed out from the rear and sides, keeping it away from the operator. The load and boom move separately from the chassis which gives the operator a better ride and it makes the loading cycles faster.
