Does any other manufacturer offer side access like this JCB?Love this machine but way way outside my budget.

The first one I ever saw was a Volvo.

yes Volvo made them not sure if they still do, but should be able to find a used one,
I really like the idea of a side door, but dis like the sitting off to one side deal!
as to traditional sitting centered machines!
I am sure one would adapt to things over time, though!

from what I understand JCB makes them for Volvo under Volvos required specs. and a rebadge. and yeah they are proud of them,but boy I would like one.

I forgot to mention that I have a 2001 JCB 214 backhoe and it has been a very good machine, of course that is kinda apples and oranges cause the name is the only thing common between the two machines.
