JCB midi’s with added glamour

Our friends at JCB have produced yet another exciting promotional video featuring their new 85Z-1 and 86C-1 midi excavators in action which is well worthy of a spot here on the Digger Man Blog.

Anyone who has attended an event at JCB’s World Headquarters in Rocester, will have probably been treated to a stunning video presentation in the companies impressive cinema facility. For me it’s one of the most exciting things about a new product launch visit, as it really sets the scene for what you are about to be involved with! This latest video also includes a glamorous female operator who is putting the machines through their paces.

The 86C-1 conventional tailswing and the 85Z-1 zero-tailswing models were first launched at ConExpo in Las Vegas last year and feature an all new dynamic design in terms of looks and as previously reported a host of new features including, 100% steel bodywork for improved durability, 30^o tilting cab for improved service access, no costly DPF system, 6% more spacious cab interior with 11% more visibility, 500 hour greasing intervals, and a 10% reduction in fuel consumption over previous models.
