JCB

Longer loader arms for easier loading

JCB has upgraded its 1CX backhoe loader with a revised cab roof trim, improved working lights and sturdy electrical switchgear.

At the rear, an extending dipper option adds up to 20 inches to the digging envelope, taking maximum dig depth to 10 feet. A new Power Management System (PMS) improves performance, reducing engine lug down as the machine starts to dig and increasing power when driving into a pile with the front bucket.
