A Closer Look: JCB’s Next-Generation Backhoe Loaders

Описание: JCB’s next generation backhoes have arrived, boasting fast travel speeds, a new outer box dipper option for the excavator end and a redesigned operator-focused cab.

JCB Product Manager James Gill gave Equipment World a closer look at the new 3CX Plus earlier this year at ARA Show. Take a tour in our video above.

The 3CX Plus comes equipped with a 109-horsepower 4.4-liter engine that puts out 381 pound-feet of torque at 1,500 rpms. It can hit travel speeds of 25 miles per hour for quick roading between jobsites.

The center mount backhoe features JCB’s new outerbox material handling dipper stick and thumb for improved grabbing power and weight distribution.

The redesigned cab features a 7-inch display, an additional easy-to-read front screen, Bluetooth connectivity, ergonomic joystick controls, lockable storage compartments and improved visibility through larger mirrors and rear- and front-mounted LED work lights. A variety of front-end attachments are available, and a Q-Fit quick coupler allows for quick attachment swaps.

Other models in the lineup include:
JCB 3CX: An all-purpose machine with low upfront costs.
JCB 3CX Pro: All the comfort and performance features of the 3CX Plus, with a higher road speed of up to 30 mph.
JCB 4CX Pro: With four equal-sized tires, the all-wheel-steer backhoe has extra traction and strong loading and excavating performance under challenging conditions, as well as a tight turning radius.
