Been looking for a couple skid steers, and I've always been interested in the JCB's since I saw them years ago. I like the side-door entry/exit, and the single boom interests me. I'd be looking at a 260, 280 or bigger, with the high-flow hydraulics. I'd be using them in chicken barns with a litter windrower, as well as to push snow, and other jobs. Anyone here have any experience with them? All the threads I've found on google are from 2010 or 2011, nothing recently. JCB is a huge equipment MFR, and I feel like if they were crap we'd know it?

I did get to test out a 260 at a dealer in MN, but I didn't see it listed, I'd bet they sold it. It ran good, I liked the controls and the visibility. Easy for me to get my big frame in and out of the machine.
