JCB Experience

A 90 minute driving experience for adults (minimum age 17) using a JCB 3CX backhoe loader. Commences with a safety talk and a brief introduction to site and machine safety followed by a practical operating session for the remainder of the 90 minutes. You will be able to drive the digger, dig holes, backfill them and much, much more.

The JCB Experience is available in two different formats:
