Does any body know if JCB's are available for rent in Chiang Mai and if so how much. I have to keep hiring mini backhoes and silly tractors with a small front bucket for 3,500 baht each per day.

Sorry, I don't know but only checked the post as I had no clue what a "JCB" was. Apparently, it's the name of company that sells excavators, dozers, etc., and I'm guessing that those who know the company have come to call an excavator a "JCB" much like a few Americans would refer to a tractor as a "John Deere."

Hi Bob...yes in UK..most people know it has a backhoe and front bucket..very useful machine.

Super highway, left hand side when coming from Maya Mall, between Tesco and the turning to Rumachok/Mae Jo.

Thank you

Do they dry hire the plant? I know its a big sales yard, even saw a few Bobcats there ...

Can you hire for self drive? Kids would love turning up to school singing "Bob the Builder"

My near (Thai) neighbor hires units from there, one contractor we used to prune tall trees used a liftyupythingymachine from there also.

Ok good to know, thanks.

I guess anything can be (dry) hired although no-one advertises as such.

JCB; named after its founder Joseph Cyril Bamford (Excavators Ltd); now an internationally famous brand. In the uk, there is simply nothing to touch it.

the liftupthingymachine is usually referred to as a cherry picker on a single hydraulic arm or a scissor platform like a car jack for several people.

Great topic!!

Lovely idea!! Then find a place to go dig around a bit.

It's challenging though, I once played a Backhoe-Loader sim on my iPad.
