Operator with a question

[Aurora]

Hey everyone, I run a JCB 8018 at work and I've got a question about the hydraulics. Hoping someone here might know something. Glad to be here.

Hey there! I used to drive a JCB 8018 for small ditch jobs, pretty solid little thing.

Good to see you! I used an 8018 for a few seasons doing landscaping work. I always kept an eye on the hydraulics.

Welcome! I ran an 8018 for a year helping a contractor with utility work. I learned fast that keeping the hydraulic lines clean and checking the fittings kept me from a lot of downtime. You’ll find others here who've been in the same boat.

Glad you're here. I've driven that model too.

Hey there! Glad you made it. There are lots of people here who know their way around a JCB, so you're in good hands. The 8018 is a sweet little machine. This forum is a great place to ask questions and get some real-world advice.
