I rented the mini excavator 8008 with 3 different capacity buckets. The tracks on the machine were recently replaced, so there are no problems with traction on the ground. We used the mini excavator for cleaning a pond on the territory of a resort complex. The machine handled its tasks perfectly. One can confidently rent this mini excavator for work on private property or in agriculture.

So, I recently operated the JCB 8008 CTS micro excavator for a few backyard excavation tasks. Gotta say, it handles tight spaces amazingly well. This little machine impressed me with its dig depth and reach, definite highlights. Serviceability is a bonus; daily checks are straightforward. However, I felt the enclosed legroom could be better for taller individuals. Otherwise, it’s a solid piece of equipment for small-scale jobs.

I imported a mini excavator of this model from Europe last year. Operating time is almost 1700 hours, the machine was manufactured in 2006. The equipment performs its functions excellently. I recently used the machine for planting work in the garden. I also dug an 80cm trench for a cable. Soon, I'll have to go through the TO-2000 maintenance. In my opinion, the cost of maintenance is too high.

Used the JCB 4CX on a bunch of road maintenance jobs, mostly for trenching and loading. One thing I always notice is the handling-it's way less tiring than older stuff I worked with. Power steering's a big help and those different steering modes actually come in handy on tight spots. Transmission shifts smooth, no jerks, but sometimes the controls feel a little too light for my liking, takes getting used to after some rougher models. Can't complain about the cab much: decent room, everything sits where you expect it, and you can see pretty much all around. Noticed the seat's suspension works real well too. Still, wish the AC was stronger on hot days. Fuel use is solid, usually under 8 liters an hour for me if I'm not pushing it. All in, nice for long shifts if you care about your back and ears, just not perfect for extreme heat.

I worked with my JS60 mini-excavator at a construction site. My partner brought a Chinese-made excavator-loader. As it seemed to me, my machine turned out to be more productive. The mini-excavator is maneuverable, easily reaches inaccessible areas of the construction site, and excavates large volumes of soil. The fuel consumption is also pleasing. I purchased the equipment 1.5 years ago and it paid for itself within a year of purchase.

I work with this loader. The machine has been running for 6000 engine hours at the moment. The loader has never let me down, although there have been minor breakdowns occasionally. Once, the instrument panel stopped working, but the mechanic repaired it on the same day. The engine starts easily, but it is important to maintain the quality of the fuel you use for refueling. Saving on it can lead to significant expenses for engine repairs.

Bought the JCB excavator-loader at the end of the year. The chosen loader had a total operating time of 6119 engine hours. After 100 hours of using it, I was most impressed by the convenient "automatic" gearbox. The equipment itself is quite powerful but heavy, especially when working on peat bogs. When I purchased the machine, there was one flaw in the adjustment washers on the legs - they were starting to rust. Following my colleague's recommendation, I heated them with an autogen torch and unscrewed them.

3 months ago I rented a JCB 8030 for a year. I would give the machine a rating of 4, and even that is a stretch. I found the digging depth to be inadequate. The plastic hood gives the impression of flimsy equipment. The engine has trouble starting in freezing temperatures. The undercarriage is okay so far. What I like most about this machine is the spacious and comfortable cabin.

I tried the JCB 3CX for a major construction project recently. The engine's low RPM torque distribution stood out, ensuring efficient digging cycles. However, I found the operator's cabin could benefit from more ergonomic improvements for longer usability.

Used the JCB 3CX for a multi-site job. The advanced Eco modes provided noticeable fuel savings during transport and operations. Front wheel maneuvering seemed slightly restrictive on tighter turns, but overall, it executed the tasks effectively.
