JCB 130 Excavator

Howdy to everybody. Off Topic. This is for A friend who doesn't have Internet. He is thinking of buying A JCB 130 excavator with future plans to add a mulching head. He would like to know the strong points and weak points of JCB. He has never owned JCB. He's had CAT,JD and Komatsu. Oh, It's a 99 model JCB he's looking at with Isuzu engine.He's not afraid of the engine.It's mostly hydraulics and boom strength he's concerned about.We would like to hear from o wners and operators.The real world,so to speak. Thanks in advance for any and all replies. Steve Norwood, Texarkana, Texas
 
I worked for a rental company that purchased a lot of the JCS 130 and 230 excavators. The engines were fine, the rest was junk. We had Case, Cat, Hitachi, and Nothing was close to the repair and money spent on upkeep.

Just my experience, just retired from many years in the business.
