"My name is Jon and I like Diggers"

All was quiet on the northern front, but Inspector Walt and BarnGirl could hear a dig 'n purr on the other side of the building. No digger Ryan today, so who could it be?!

Hmm. What's this I see?  A shiny new digging bucket pick-up, clam thingy in the back of Boss Jon's trailer. 

Indeed, we have ANOTHER boys' toy on site - a brand new JCB 8018cts. Doris, the Digger.  The ultimate mini excavator. It boasts 'best-in-class performance, allied to incredible build quality, superlative strength and unbeatable ease of operation.' So say JCB.

First outing for Doris, the Digger

Boss Jon goes a-digging

'I hope that isn't a scratch!'

Doris rests after a hard first day

She really is a clever little lady - nimble, neat, responsive, a good mover, full of bling, bells and whistles. And just because I know you really want one and you'd love to know more about Doris's shapely stats, please read 'If you're interested' below.

Loving some of the digger-speak:

'long dipper'

'Gravemaster dipper'

'Mechanical quickhitch' - a new term for speed dating perhaps?

'Dozer extensions swing out easily on this mini excavator, which allows operators to quickly and easily shift the dozer wings.

'The 8018 CTS uses the very latest sealing technology – O-ring face trapezoidal seal hydraulics minimise leaks.'

'To optimise durability and service life, we’ve fitted replaceable steel bushes to the kingpost, dipper nose and bucket-tipping link.'

'top-mounted boom ram'



We hope Doris felt at home after her first day in the mud n clay and Boss Jon's happy, having fed his gadget habit.

Love
BarnGirl
