JCB 1400B Backhoe-Loader - New retail development - Kent, WA. JCB equipment is not that common here. Most backhoe-loaders here are Case, Caterpillar, or Deere. JCB is based in the UK.
Every July the LEGO club I'm in, IndyLUG, participates in the By Air, By Rail (BABR) Festival near Fortville. It's held at the Mount Vernon Middle School. They're in the process of expanding the school, so there's lots of work being done during the summer when school's not in session. I love construction equipment, so I had to get some shots of the machinery they had out there.
The N.C. Department of Transportation is participating in an area hands-on student activity and job fair this week as part of Winston-Salem Chamber of Commerce’s Construction Industry Council efforts to recruit local workers for the construction industry.
“This was an bi-annual two-day event that encourages high school students to consider construction related industry careers by exposing them to the latest equipment and tools available through interactive, hands-on activities, the operation of heavy equipment, and one-on-one conversations with trade professionals and educators,” said Gayle Anderson, Winston-Salem Chamber CEO.
“No one fills out a job application with the NCDOT thinking they are going to have a glamorous, high-paid or easy job; but what they will garner is skill, respect and a sense of ownership in the infrastructure of one of the fastest growing states in the country,” said Pat Ivey, the NCDOT division engineer in Winston-Salem.
High school students from Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools, and 16 surrounding counties were invited to attend the “Construction Career Days 2015” on Nov, 4 and 5 from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. at the Dixie Classic Fairgrounds at 421 West 27th Street in Winston-Salem. In conjunction, a job fair for already trained workers was held on Nov. 4 from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Education Building at the Fairgrounds.
The NCDOT was one of about three-dozen recruiters on-site for the job fair with more than a thousand students and job seekers expected to attend.
During the event students:
•Had hands-on access to power and hand tools used by the commercial construction industry using skid steers, track hoes, excavators, backhoes, bulldozers and cranes.
•Had access to contractor personnel, vendors, and university and community college representatives to ask questions about training and educational opportunities.
•Participated in interactive exhibits such as rebar tying, pipe bending, brick laying, electrical, tile setting, welding, carpentry and surveying.
“We are committed to insure that the next generation pursues careers in the construction industry; which is a part of the foundation for current and future growth for our state,” said Jake Alexander, Division 9 Board Member.

This floating excavator is used in areas of very soft ground, such as the Fraser Delta near Vancouver, British Columbia Canada. This particular unit was spotted at Roberts Bank coalport.
My latest creation. Hope u gonna like it.

The JCB Display Team, more commonly known as the "Dancing Diggers" performs across the length and breadth of the country and is recognised as one of the top arena attractions available.
The team has appeared on television many times, showcasing the amazing abilities of the machine operators as they push their diggers to the absolute maximum of their capabilities.
The team comprised of 4 giant JCB 3CX diggers and one 527-55 loadall.
The four JCB's in the team weigh 8.5 tonnes each and cost in excess of £48,000 each.
The Display Team drivers perform dare devil stunts and formation digger dancing. During a performance accompanied by music they push the machines and themselves to the limit, thrilling audiences of all ages.
The stunts performed are not only very difficult, but are also very dangerous, and must, under no circumstances be attempted by anyone in the audience!

527-55 LOADALL
The JCB 527-55 is a hugely efficient Dieselmax-powered Loadall. It’s powerful, productive, manoeuvrable, comfortable and safe.
3CX Eco
The JCB 3CX is the world’s number one backhoe loader (along with the JCB 4CX). The 3CX is a product of JCB’s efficient design philosophy, responding to today’s rising fuel prices and environmental concerns with class-leading efficiency and low running costs. In short, innovative technologies have been applied to squeeze the absolute maximum out of every drop of fuel on the JCB 3CX Eco.
The Company
The firm was founded by Joseph Cyril Bamford in October 1945 in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, England.
The JCB logo dates from 1953; from 1960 the company typewriters were given an extra key to render it accurately. The logo was designed by Leslie Smith, and is off-set at 18 degrees from the horizontal and 22 degrees from the vertical - the angles Joe Bamford liked.
To demonstrate his faith in the hydraulic failsafes on JCB machines (which lock the arms in the event of a loss of hydraulic pressure, preventing them from crashing to the ground), Joe Cyril Bamford arranged to have several backhoes raise themselves up on their arms, and drove his car beneath them.
This has since developed into a world famous demonstration of the versatility of the backhoe configuration. The JCB display team (JCB Dancing Diggers) tour agricultural shows and produce videos, showing some of the unusual ways in which such vehicles can support themselves or manoeuvre. For example, it is quite common for drivers to support the vehicle on both buckets, either for turning on the spot without damaging ground, or for spinning the tracks in a puddle to clean them. The display team expanded this concept into a sort of vehicle gymnastics. The drivers are members of JCB's demonstration team, who visit prospective customers and demonstrate machines on the customer's property in order to prove the machine's suitability for the task at hand.
We recently found this Etrl 1/16th scale (I think) John Deere Backhoe that the kids used to play with years ago stuffed into a box. It was pretty dirty but after a good washing it turned out really nice. One pretty tough little John Deere and everything still works and its Made in the USA, so that makes it the real deal.

Thursday night I returned to Providence with bryanj87
and Macedo295 for some additional night shooting. We started at the Point St. Bridge and continued south from there. It was easy to manage the cold with enough layers but the wind posed quite a challenge. Camera shake and wind driven debris were quite common, changing lenses was not.
From the I-Way Bryan and I continued on to this de-construction site. This was my first attempt in photographing construction vehicles at night. Inspired by the work of judyboy and efatzo. I really wanted to experience it first hand.
