JCB 3CX

Modern Machines and Old Property

Why build a lake at all?

Why buy a JCB?

Well there are a number of reasons one of which is enjoyment, secondly value, digging a lake will add value, then there is the aesthetic view, how lovely would a natural lake look in the shell behind the trees.

Of course a huge benefit to diversity and wildlife too, we have many wild animals including deer and boar and the chance to see more of these animals will be exciting.

To dig the lake we needed to purchase a JCB, the need to purchase is great because there will be many more projects coming up that will need the JCB, due to the high water table we now know there is no need to use a 360 heavy excavator so once the last part of the drive is done the excavator can go and be replaced with a permanent JCB 3CX machine.

The machine above is the JCB model we wanted, it will help massively with landscaping and the front bucket will be invaluable to us.

See more of our plans and use of our JCB as we expand the JCB page in the coming weeks and months, I hope to show how valuable and well worth the money this digger will be over time.
