JCB 225 eco comp plate

I have some questions the punters here may be able to help with. I have been running a jcb 225 eco power boom track skid steer for just on two years now and at this stage have only been able to put just over 300 hrs on the clock. This has not been due a lack of work for the machine but rather a lack of ability to keep operators in the seat and the machine out of the shed due to issues. The purpose of this post isnt to stitch up JCB CEA but rather to get some info from other owners of the same unit. 1. Does any one else here running jcb gear (worldwide) have a unit that doesnt have a year of manufacture on the compliance plate ? 2. If theres any one here running the same machine id like to hear about any operational issues you may have had. Even minor issues that may not affect the machines ability to do work like paint quality, rattles squeaks etc. Ive been flat out trying to get support from the company ( JCB) and have come to the conclusion that the only way to get this machine to be a viable part of the fleet is to see if others have had issues and what resolutions they came up with. This forum is a great place to read and learn from so heres the dice roll. Cheers in advance KRIZ
