FAQs

Yes. When tackling thick areas of vegetation, it is necessary to choose a robust cutting tool. Using a brush cutter blade for brambles is an ideal choice for clearing or thinning out these areas.

A dozer blade is a machine attachment. It has a large, flat blade that can be mounted at the front of your machine, essentially converting your machine into a compact dozer. This attachment is designed to push or move large quantities of material efficiently and easily.

Our JCB dozer blade features: 

• 76 mm diameter centre pin with hardened steel bushings for outstanding strength.  
• Tilt indicator that is easily viewed from the operator's seat.  
• Long-term durability with reversible bolt-on steel cutting edge, high carbon replaceable steel skid shoe and heavy-duty cast moldboard. 
• Easily adjustable tilt and angle functions that can be adapted on-the-go, and JCB multi-function controls.

Are diesel or petrol generators best for UK power cuts? While petrol generators are a cost-efficient option for small or short-term jobs, diesel generators are more fuel-efficient, durable, and well-suited to operate in colder conditions and on bigger projects. 

JCB’s extensive range of diesel generators are an ideal solution to keep your business running in the case of a mains power cut. Built with the best quality components, our generators are trusted throughout the UK and beyond, so you can count on them to be relied upon in a power emergency. But there’s no need to leave it to chance - our extensive dealer network is available to provide service support up and down the UK, and you can use our telematics LiveLink system to monitor your generator’s performance during a power cut.

In a hybrid application alongside a diesel generator, the JCB Powerpack can reduce fuel consumption (and CO2 emissions) by up to 65% by automatically turning off the diesel engine during inefficient low load periods.

With no fluids or filters to change, the JCB Powerpack doesn’t need servicing beyond visual inspections and cleaning.

A JCB Powerpack is designed with safety at its core. An all-steel enclosure houses automotive-grade batteries, specifically designed for mobile applications. JCB also carries out stringent EMC tests to ensure the highest levels of electrical safety. Safety features include 1.6mm steel enclosure for maximum protection, UN-certified Li-ion batteries, and a full EMC certification.
