NigelKennedy Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMBob Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 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."

MESmith Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Can you hire for self drive? Kids would love turning up to school singing "Bob the Builder" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess anything can be (dry) hired although no-one advertises as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyecatcher Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 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.

WinnieTheKhwai Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Can you hire for self drive? Kids would love turning up to school singing "Bob the Builder" 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
