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, 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.

The 3CX Compact is ideal for landscaping jobs, urban projects, and highway work. It has a travel speed up to 25 mph, and can easily work in single lane without obstructing traffic thanks to its side shift configuration and 6 feet 6 inches width. Additionally, its switchable four-wheel and two-wheel steering modes and tight turning radius enable it to manoeuvre in tight spots. Optional features include LED work lights, toolboxes, periscope mirror, front and rear camera, clam/ram guards, lifting kits, fish-eye mirrors, handheld tool circuit, selectable ISO/SAE control patterns, and multiple tire options. A 3CX Compact Pro version is available with 31.7 gpm auxiliary flow to the loader and a seven-way multifunction lever. It also allows the operator to preselect and maintain a specific speed on varying terrain.
