I’ve been operating the JCB 535-95 for about two years now. The 9-meter boom gives it that extra reach, which can come in handy for stacking high loads. What really stands out to me is the quick attachment system-it saves so much time when switching tools. While the comfort in the cabin is generally good, extended hours can sometimes feel a bit tiring. Overall, I think it performs well for its class.

Having operated the JCB 535-95 for several projects, I find its 9.5-meter lifting reach and 3.5-ton capacity quite impressive. The view from the cabin is unobstructed, facilitating precise handling. However, during extended usage, the hydraulic cylinders require frequent checks. Maintenance appears straightforward thanks to accessible compartments.

I’ve worked with a bunch of loaders, hopped in a 535-95 lately after all the touch-ups the owner bragged about. They really went through everything - swapped out all the window glass, replaced steering parts, checked the diffs and changed seals. No leaks anywhere, which is rare for these old units.

Controls aren’t as fun as a joystick setup but you get used to the levers. Brakes and acceleration react quick so moving loads isn’t stressful, though the cab isn’t the roomiest. The condition of the extendable boom surprised me - hardly any wiggle, decent welds. Radio actually works!

Only thing bugging me, the fuel system was fully redone, but you never really know how that'll wear over a few thousand more hours. For now though it’s all good. Didn’t find any real cracks in the paint after some rough site work, so guess the facelift stuck. Wouldn’t mind a plusher seat, but whatever, you don’t buy these for luxury.

Operated the JCB 535-95 for several loads, and its auxiliary function controls impressed me with their simplicity and efficiency. Changing implements was straightforward thanks to the integrated locking mechanisms, though it did involve a couple extra steps. Steering modes like all-wheel steering prove valuable when maneuvering in tighter areas. However, the stability under full boom extension requires attention, but overall, it’s a reliable machine for demanding tasks.

I work daily on construction sites, and the JCB 535-95 is part of our gear. It’s solidly built, and the full assembly in England makes a difference. The boom range is impressive, though navigating tighter spaces requires some practice. After 2000+ hours of usage, it’s still reliable with no major issues encountered. Gets the job done effectively.

I recently had the chance to test the JCB 535-95 model, 2006 version. Overall, I found it to be relatively well-maintained and functional. The refurbished paintwork looks fresh, providing a new-like appearance. Operationally, the hydraulic controls work efficiently, though the lever system could take some getting used to compared to joystick setups. The reliability of the engine and telescopic boom appears solid, making lifting tasks manageable. However, the tire condition isn't ideal, with only 30% tread remaining, which could affect traction on certain surfaces.

So I’ve been running the 535-95 for a couple months now (2006 build, under 8k hours). First, this thing got a full once-over before I picked it up: fresh paint, all new filters, rubber is solid, no cracked glass or busted electrics. Big plus for the lighting add-on at the top - night shifts are less of a pain.

It's still lever controls, not the joystick, but honestly I kinda like that for keeping things simple and less to go wrong. All new bushings so no sloppy movement on the boom. Cab is okay comfort wise, seat is decent, music works, nothing fancy but nothing broken. All the hydros are tight, no leaks.

Downsides? The tires are only at about 30% tread so corners in the mud can get squirmy, might have to redo them soon. And yeah, it’s not a rocket - engine isn’t turbo, but it feels reliable enough for what it is. Good for jobs where you don’t need crazy speed. If maintenance was done right, it’s reliable, no weird issues yet. Price was…not cheap but not outrageous.

So I've used this 535-95 for stacking hay bales at the farm. Handles the job fine, you can really pack a lot into a small spot thanks to that 9.5m reach. Way more than the old 7m models. Noticed the weight's up, over a ton heavier than the 531-70 I used before, makes it feel more planted but also not as quick moving around, if that matters for you. Really appreciate both rear mirrors, finally see what's behind without craning my neck the whole time. The instructions and cab bits are nothing special, just average; I would not call the cab roomy, but it does the trick. We've had barely any technical issues except once, but that was probably from dragging the thing in a way you're not supposed to. Maintenance so far's been smooth, only little stuff, nothing crazy expensive yet. If you do a lot of heavy lifting and stacking, this one does well, just don't rush it and remember to cycle the boom or you'll have uneven hydraulics. Only wish the ride was softer when empty, it jumps a bit.

I've used the JCB 535-95 model extensively, and its capability to handle tasks requiring high lifting power is commendable. The dual hydraulic cylinders offer consistent support without faltering. That said, I noticed some instances where the control console could be improved for end-user ergonomics. Overall, it serves its purpose well.

I’ve been using the JCB 535-95 for a couple of weeks now and it’s handling farm duties like a champ. Pushing grain into storage and stacking bales high are some tasks it’s truly suitable for. Its three-stage boom reaching up to 9.5 meters is impressive, although lifting at full extension needs some caution because the rear stability can get compromised a bit. The cab is well-equipped for most tasks, although it could use a bit more room.
