Well we bought a JCB 3CX and got it delivered to Tayinloan with a range of buckets and pallet forks etc.,in early December from where I took it over on the ferry. Now it did have an oil leak from the gearbox which should have been repaired before delivery but this was not done due to an oversight and has proved to be a major headache. We have some brilliant mechanics on Gigha - notably Mark and he did a check on what needed done and split the gearbox, replacing parts and getting it working again. But this took almost three months to get sorted so we have been without excavation potential until very recently.
