It's BIG, Yellow and digs holes! JCB 3CX Project 8 is joining the Tractor Shed

This should be interesting! Maybe I'll get to see it in person one day!
Cheers, Matthew

That looks a very nice machine. It does even have the 'Extra Dig' if I'm not mistaken. Looking forward to your mods.
As it is all a question of Want or Need, I was considering a 360, but trying to find something to compare with the reach of the JCB is difficult.

I hope we don't need to be building barricades just yet!!
I've no idea what 'extra dig' might be??
My acquaintance with 'plant' gets no closer than having a stepson who's a plant operator but I do seem to watch a lot of YouTube videos. It seems to me that someone needs to invent a digging machine that can dig with offset - with the diggers I see you have to either position the machine astride the trench or to dig obliquely (slant-wise) across the trench. With a long trench, surely there are times when it would be an advantage to dig from one side but track the machine parallel to the trench?? Please will someone lighten my darkness????

Hi there, Russ,
Thank you for your post. That photo looks like the machine is digging at right angles to the trench. Also, that's much wider than what I'd call 'a trench' - does it even have another side?
