Features
- All of the JCB 3CX’s daily checks and routine servicing can be done from one side of the machine. Important service items are grouped, too, for improved access and improved productivity. The hood on this JCB backhoe loader is a one-piece unit, and opens easily without having to remove extra panels. Battery access is excellent, positioned at the front of the machine behind a locked grill to give quick, easy access. Greasing and refuelling can both be done from ground level, making them easy and safe tasks to carry out on a JCB 3CX. The hydraulic tank is mounted outboard for similarly easy access. There’s no time-consuming dust bowl or pre-cleaner to maintain on this backhoe, saving precious operator time and improving forward visibility. What’s more, our scavenge design discharges dirt from the exhaust to extend air filter life. We’ve fit additional fuel filtration on this backhoe loader to reduce dirt in fluids and prevent blockages. Hydraulic hoses all meet at the bulkhead manifold, meaning that replacement is straightforward.
- The 3CX backhoe loader's cab, axles, transmission and engine are all designed and built by JCB. All components therefore work in perfect harmony for optimum reliability. Our hydraulic cylinders have friction welded ends to give extra strength. Each key component of the latest JCB backhoe range is stringently tested. The chassis, boom, loader arms and other major parts are all subjected to prolonged high-stress loading, while the transmission design has been repeatedly put through its paces over thousands of cycles. JCB precision machining provides high tolerances and accurate location of pins and bushes on these backhoe loaders. By heating the boom to 1200 degrees F, we remove any internal stresses caused by manufacturing and welding. This process doubles the life of our booms and reduces the overall machine weight at the same time. Rear stabilizers are equipped with twin directional hose burst check valves (HBCVs), which means the legs can’t move during machine operation and cannot fall during road travel if a hose were to fail. To protect the boom and dipper hoses on your JCB backhoe during trenchwork, they’re enclosed inside the rear structures of the machine. Kingpost hoses are enclosed in a flexible, robust guide to keep them from snagging or sustaining damage. To protect the stabilizer rams, as standard, the 3CX is fit with guards to protect the rams and avoid costly repairs plus added downtime. A sacrificial wear plate on the dipper eliminates costly damage to the dipper and can be easily replaced to maximize dipper life.
- To create the perfect working environment for operators – and, in turn, improve productivity choose our air conditioning package. This JCB backhoe loader comes with a choice of a canopy or a cab; our cabs are pressurized to ensure a clean and controlled working environment. There’s a 12V power source in the cab so that operators can charge phones and use various accessories. Our suspension seat with armrests comes as standard, providing backhoe operators with improved comfort and reduced fatigue for longer working hours. There’s plenty of storage on this backhoe loader, with work tools easy to accommodate even if you choose the canopy option. Operating the 3CX is straight forward; the traditional manual control system is easy and comfortable to operate. Save time by quickly returning the bucket to digging position, reducing cycle times for extra productivity.
