Looking at a used Volvo 135 with 1200 hours... Any thoughts?? good or bad...Thanks
What engine. If it has the jcb eco something. Maybe shy away. They had a hard time living past 5-600 hours
I'l find out...Thanks for the help!
As long as you're gonna use it for landscaping, light earth moving etc. you should be ok. It is a good machine but has some design flaws inherited from JCB as it is a rebadged JCB to begin with. The engine previously mentioned. Recyclers and guys that run really dense material seem to have the biggest problems. The single sided swingarm is cool, but an enormous strain is placed on the pivot point. The radial lift doesn't suffer as badly as the parallel linkage. The EH controls are awesome. The travel system is a little finicky if you're not used to single lever travel.
Thanks again for taking the time!
Got it today...Ill let you know what I think of it in a week or so...wish me luck...lol
If it did not come with one please order and operators manual from your closest dealer as soon as possible Congratulations on your purchase and I wish you nothing but the best of luck
