Collins' new machinesDerbyshire-based Collins Earthworks has added eight 220X and five 370X JCB excavators to its plant fleet. It does have other JCB machines, including telehandlers and backhoes, but for excavators it has previously preferred Volvo. The order, fulfilled by dealer TC Harrison, is considered significant by JCB. Sales director Nick Grills said: “More and more major contractors are recognising the quality of the JCB X Series range. We’ve chosen to invest in JCB as the X Series range is durable, productive and well supported.
