Stephenson Equipment's JCB Demo Day drew a crowd of more than 150 attendees from all over the greater Philadelphia area Sept. 7 to test the latest equipment, talk with reps and watch JCB's amazing Dancing Diggers.

Stephenson Equipment provided six different pieces of equipment from its large JCB inventory for attendees to try out at Stephenson's Prospect Park, Pa., location, including the 3GS Teleskid skid steer, 4CX backhoe loader and the 110W Hydradig. With its road-ready wheels, the Hydradig was a particularly big hit among test drivers.

Throughout the day, crowds were treated to performances by JCB's Dancing Diggers, emceed by JCB Regional Sales Manager Alex Wood. Highlights included a JCB associate fearlessly elevating the 4CX backhoe loader into the air, balanced on its buckets, and a spectacular finale featuring the JCB GT X-0010 Dragster shooting flames.
