Hello,

Does anybody with experience on JCB TLT30D 4x4 have anything to comment? How about the maintenance, is it easy to maintain?

I dont think they are that good of a machine. Transmission is ecu controled sunstrand and you need software, the 4 wheel drive system is a joke, piss under the wheels and they get stuck!!

linesman,

I mean maintenance due to wear and tear. Sometimes ECUs are to complicated. May be Manitou BT 425 are better. What do you think guys?

Well you don't have to mess around with high tech electronics like JCB :)
We have one and only BT425 here and never had a problem with it. Hope it stays like that...it's over 8 years old...

HI tHere, With any 4X4 traction system there are maintainance problems however should you keep up the greasing etc' at points which should be marked on a sign on the mast/boom then problems are very rare.
Main things I have encountered are loose bolts and fittings!

I'd go for the manitou definitely!. The jcb is a good bit of kit for tight loading/unloading applications but would be expensive to maintain (over the top ECU's and they eat tyres!)) and has about half the life expectancy of the Manitou.
