Compare JCB backhoe loader specs side-by-side to find the right fit for your job site

JCB offers five conventional backhoe loaders and two unique compact models, the 49-hp 1CXT and the 74-hp 3CX Compact. The 1CXT is a tracked (rather than rubber-tire) model, making it similar to a compact track loader but with an excavator boom at the rear that offers a 10-foot 1-inch dig depth. The 3CX Compact, pictured above, compared to a full-size backhoe, is 35 percent smaller.

The five full-size, higher horsepower backhoe loaders in the JCB lineup include "Super" models which feature high-torque engines for more aggressive pushing into material piles. The high-torque models also come with an upgraded transmission to handle the extra force and a four-speed powershift transmission with an optional six-speed available. A torque-lock feature on the upgraded transmissions also improves traction when roading. All JCB backhoe loaders come with a straight boom for increased reach and dig depth.

Features of the 3CX Compact backhoe loader 

• Travel speed up to 25 mph to easily work in a single lane without obstructing traffic at 6 feet, 6 inches wide 
• Four-wheel and two-wheel steering modes and a tight turning radius enable it to manoeuvre in tight spaces 
• Optional features include LED work lights, toolboxes, periscope mirror, front and rear camera, clam/ram guards, lifting kits, fish-eye mirrors, handheld tool circuit, and multiple tire options 
• The 3CX Compact Pro version is available with 31.7 gpm auxiliary flow to the loader and a seven-way multifunction lever
