In order to reap the maximum benefit of the 3CX’s superior performance, we’ve designed these machines to be all-day comfy, ergonomic and extremely intuitive for operators to use. This means operators can work easily on steep slopes and uneven ground at maximum productivity. The 3CX backhoe loader boasts high ground clearances of up to 370mm, together with 20 degree departure angles.
To ensure an extra 1.2m dig depth and reach – and to minimise repositioning – all Australian specified models are fitted with JCB’s inner box design Extradig feature.
The JCB return-to-dig feature means operators can quickly reset the shovel to dig. It also provides unhindered front shovel visibility, especially when loading at height.
JCB’s robot welded single-piece chassis maximises strength and minimises weight.Ī 3CX backhoe loader 4-ram self-levelling loader automatically adjusts the shovel on both raise and lower cycles without any need for manual adjustment. The single- piece composite cab floor on these backhoe loaders is also rustproof, and has moulded water channels. The polypropylene fuel tank on the 3CX backhoe loader is completely rustproof for ultimate fuel injection system protection. To safeguard from impact damage on site, the 3CX backhoe loader are now available with rear light guardsįor added rigidity – and to protect hoses from damage – a 3CX backhoe has a flat plate- depressed loader arms, while cat tail welds reduce strass concentrations. The clam rams on our 3CX backhoe loaders are ultra-reliable because they’re protected from debris when loading by optional JCB clam shovel rams guards. To protect boom and dipper hoses from the perils of trenchwork, JCB have enclosed them inside the rear structures of the machine. The steering ram on the 3CX is protected from impact damage whilst loading, because it’s mounted behind the front axle.
To stop the 3CX backhoe loader kingpost hoses from snagging and sustaining damage, JCB encloses them in a flexible, robust guide. They’re also protected from inevitable rigours of site life. They’re made using only the very finest materials and processes, which are tested, tried and proven to excel. The latest JCB 3CX backhoe loaders are designed for hardwork. Featuring JCB’s patented TorqueLock technology (the world’s first lock-up torque converter fitted to a backhoe loader), EcoRoad actually reduces fuel consumption by up to 25% whilst increasing speed by up to 10%, and working area by up to 10%.Īt the loader end of our ECO machines, thanks to EcoLoad along with high lift capacities and breakout forces, and of course the outstanding DIESELMAX engine, you can count on lifting and shifting more, faster – these are the most efficient loaders in their class. JCB EcoRoad technology is designed to provide the highest efficiency and productivity levels possible when roading. In short, JCB have applied innovative technologies to squeeze the absolute maximum out of every drop of fuel on the JCB backhoe loader range.īy producing high levels of power and torque even at engine speeds as low as 1,200rpm, the JCB DIESELMAX engine can provide fuel-efficient matching of transmission and hydraulics. The 3CX is a product of JCB’s efficient design philosophy, responding to today’s rising fuel prices and environmental concerns with class-leading efficiency and low running costs. The JCB Backhoe is not only Australia’s number one backhoe loader, it’s also the world’s number one backhoe loader.
We’ve held the number one position for seven years straight and 2017 saw some major gains. It’ll come as no surprise that half of all backhoe’s sold in Australia last year were the JCB 3CX backhoe loader. It's only me that will be driving this so for now I might just make a bracket and put it inside the battery box.The JCB backhoe loader was number one in Australia yet again for 2017. That looks a good place, you won't miss it, the P12's have the battery in a box that is part of the step on the side you would normally enter the cab, I was going to either add the whole switch inside the box, or add it to the lid where the handle is outside right where the step is so you couldn't miss it, I bought a isolator switch from jcb but it looks a bit flimsy to me, plastic handle, ok if it's going to be in the battery box out of the way, the ones I've fitted before are like the one you have used, much heavier duty, I might get one of them, Bradshaw's did have the heavier one the last time I was in there.
