When I see that driver jump out like that I just want to shout "HERO!!! "🤣

Hiring an acrobat to show how easy it is to get out was brilliant 🤣 and I thought that was the best bit until they planted a dead cut down tree 🤣🤣🤣

Jumping out of the digger like that would get you sacked or kicked off site today

A time when everyone lived in a brick building. The actor jumping out of the machine was comical at best. You could see his jerkiness when operating this as no competent operator would be that bad. Thank God for JCB and the founder for helping us forward our industry of work.

Australian here,we had a JCB 2 backhoe on the farm in the '80's.Though a bit underpowered by the Nuffield 3 cylinder motor and a 5speed manual trans with a really slow reverse,it was a big digger with the hoe.I really liked the 2 stick hydaulic control.We replaced it with a Case 580 CK and I'm still having trouble with the Cases 3 stick hoe controls as I was so use to the JCB ones.

good to see film of the old machines at work, we still use a JCB 3 mk 1 on our farm, its got the fold up onto the roof rear window and its based on a super major tractor engine, gearbox and back end.

JCB is a great piece of construction machinery and it has many other Firms have copied this model ! Thanks for sharing ........

Look at this can’t beat the good old days 👍🏻🇬🇧

Great to see the old jcb at work 👏 outstanding

Knock houses, build flats. Knock flats, build houses. I notice a cycle

What a funky looking backhoe and a huge pain to get in and out of.

Do you have to be an accomplished gymnast to operate this machine ?

After carrying her through the front door he banged the back door off her over the kitchen table 🤣🤣

Probably filmed in the early 1960’s, the price of that detached house would have been about £4,000 in England. No reflective clothing nor hard hats in those days on building sites.

Arr, you can feel the sense of optimism in this film, the operator wearing a tie and overalls using his King Dick Ratchet on those Clamping Bolts, his sense of purpose as he goes about his work. Happy days!.

Really Wonderful story classic And story for JCB Backhole i love the classic story And vintage machines ..Awesome video bud Thx 👍😊👍

It's not surprising as Service Fitter, could never grease the bucket pins..!

Back when houses were built for people to buy and live in .... Ah those were the days

That first bloke knocking down a building by slewing the complete back actor would have had the sack for that. As would the next bloke loading the lorry with the back actor stuck right out like that. He's also very lucky anyway insofar as none of those bricks came out over the back of the front bucket and came down and smashed his windscreen. Getting in and out of the cab could be nasty. Many times I caught one of the levers in my boiler suit or jacket and suddenly the boom would come flying up to meet you or, worse still, if you caught the slewing lever and suddenly it looked as if you were going to get crushed between the boom and the slide rails. But the machine was a great improvement on a shovel ! As a great friend of mine used to say "there's no pain with one of those" when he was talking about the digger. As someone else has said, it was a Super Major skid unit and there were no front supports for the engine, it all hung on the bell housing which I always thought was a bit crude. Mine was the first JCB I ever bought. Purchased s/h in 1969 for £350 !

I drove a JCB loading shovel a few years ago the seat was air sprung it had brilliant heating/air con touch screen controls and a CD player with belting speaker system

Well what a jolly good show.😆 I shall jump from my cab and move the boom. For much better digging, and loosen and tighten my bolts. 🤣 With a massive ratchet. 😱🤪👍

Blimey, pre Hydro-Clamp days?

Drives a JCB whilst wearing a shirt and tie.

Nice video, watched it as we've just got (now sold) a 63 JCB 3 that had stood outside on a farm for 20 years, cab and mudgaurds are rough (all there except for rear window hatch but lots of rust) but runs and works ok, actually quite a cute little machine as it's significantly smaller than the 3C's/CX's etc.

Now give everyone air conditioning, a softer seat, and here everyone is so happy and even without doors), there was a time.

World class for its time

What a brilliant little film, many thanks ❤

Just found this channel today and love your video! you got a new subscriber..😍

Anyone know any of the roads were these new homes are ? Be great to look them up now

The backbone of the iconic @jcb backhoe

Interesting way to exit the cab, never seen that done before, great old school video thou...

There's a couple of notch back rear window Ford Anglia's, so it's post 1959, the JCB has a local Staffordshire registration as JCB is in Staffordshire,it was probably a factory demo model, SBF xxx was issued in October 1961.

I remerber these,, machines, long, time, ago

Excellent nostalgia trip 👍👍👍

Funny. I doubt many operators can exit there machines like this man could. Not in the UK anyway, Perhaps in India there slim guys.

Not a high Viz in sight those where the days

The HSE would love the exit and entrance into the excavator, I don’t know how we managed to survive 😂😂😂😂😂😂

My man’s a gymnast!

Back in the days when a man actually could carry his wife over the threshold lol!!😂

Great digger in their time,leaked like a sieve when they got on a bit,

And the couples blue Anglia was registered in June 1959 in Dudley.

i like this bulldozer a lot

Great vídeo, thanks !!!

Excellent video 👌

Great video 👍.

That house then, 40 thousand pounds That house today, 1.4 million

when machines worked

Mr Reg Williams driving there, later to become JCB Demonstrator Boss

No quick coupler ? 😂

A great documentary about Ya Mum

I like JCB

The UK was charming then. What a shame it's turned into..

A retroescavadeira JCB de 1963 essa fábrica que fabricou essa retroescavadeira com a cabine paralamas vidros pneus rodas esse homem que pulou da retroescavadeira ele deve ter abrido algo para o braço da escavadeira virar de outro lado da máquina

Was this known as the Californian cab.

8 seconds in and I'm making comment on full side swing slamming into a wall to break it. Not much has changed with digger 'wanna be' scooper driver, meat in the seat lever pullers.

Os faróis da frente e atrás como são os acessórios dessas máquinas de terraplenagens a John Deere quando fabricou a máquina retroescavadeira ela já está com a característica já na operação eu também falo das máquinas com as características das máquinas de terraplenagens

Super👌😊😊

low power comparison to today equipment

there was a jcb backhoe loader towing a russian tank in Ukraine i seen on line a few days ago (apex predator)

Why are your hydraulic filters $500+?

Not much comfort in that cab. No heater, tinted glass, stereo or comfy seat. You would be sore and colourblind by the end of the day.

Классно👍👍👍👍👍

😎😎😎👍

a backhow can do both but is far from ideal

It should be 4wd that's what I found all the weight on front wheels wheels spin on back old technology

💕🙏🙏🙏🇨🇮🇨🇮👍👍👌👌

Not a high viz in site

You need a lot of practice before using backhoe digger.

Tbh it looks like a POS lol but it had some cool features

Typical builder, dig a hole to burry site crap, 😂🤣

You know what JCB stands for?? Junky Crappy Backhoe 🤣

None of the points made are anything special compared to the competition

No quick hitch needed here 😊
