Well I know what its like hitting a pot hole or drain lid in an ordinary 3cx without SRS so it must be mad with one of these things at that speed

It didn't look like they knew how to operate that thing very well. Here's the Canadian contribution to the high speed backhoe world, this one also has an extendahoe.

Amazing,seems strong machinery.

100mph + JCB

Anybody remember this?Would be about the mid eighties and was a bog standard 3C I think with high ratio transmission.Only other difference was that it had castors instead of pads on the back legs to keep it down on takeoff.
Tyres and their pressures were standard.
It was done by one of the tyre companys to see the effect of speed on the standard lug tyre.
ISTR the speed had no effect on the tyres which were at something like 11psi.
Mark.
