    Got one May 13, super machine. Had a manitou, piece of crap. Had another Manitou before that one, not too bad.

    You couldn't believe the difference in comfort, build quality and reliability between the Manitou and the JCB

    My brother has one, lovely machine to drive. He'd mind a machine like a baby so can't say how reliable/tough they are but his hasn't skipped a beat.

    A neighbour of mine has a redrock th280 they bought it new in 04 it has been a good reliable machine it has an iveco engine. There is over 7000 hrs on it now it pushes up a bit of silage every year. The headstock kinda obstructs the view a bit, its a bit higher than other loaders. I wouldn't rule them out and I'd say they would be cheaper than jcb
