The New JCB 3CX Sitemaster Backhoe Loader will appeal to Farmers, agricultural and forestry contractors who want to undertake their own groundworks, building projects, ditch cleaning, and water pipe installation.

Over the years, the modern JCB backhoe-loader has become better equipped and more sophisticated as an indispensable tool for construction work.
Now, a brand-new 3CX Sitemaster has been introduced as a highly cost-effective solution for small plant hire and owner-operator contracting businesses, with potential for use in agriculture for specialist on-farm infrastructure works.
JCB Sales Managing Director Tim Burnhope said: “JCB’s backhoe-loader range is already very well accepted around the world, which is the reason why we have remained the
global market leader for this product for more than 30 years, and the launch of the new 3CX Sitemaster is another milestone.”
Available through JCB construction equipment dealers, the new JCB 3CX Sitemaster backhoe-loader is powered by a 55kW/74hp JCB four-cylinder engine, with no requirement for exhaust after-treatment making it simpler and cheaper to run.
It comes in one well-equipped specification, including a comfortable cab with air conditioning and heating, and light-touch servo controls that make the machine easy to operate, whether working with the excavator at the back or the loader at the front.
For maximum flexibility, the new 3CX Sitemaster has single and twin auxiliary hydraulic circuits for the excavator to operate a wide range of tools, while the loader can be
equipped with a JCB Quick Hitch to operate familiar farm implements such as bale spikes and grabs, including those from the extensive JCB Attachments range.
Sideshift and a telescopic dipper arm also feature on the excavator for versatile reach and digging depth – particularly handy for farm and estate ditch cleaning.
The telescopic dipper arm adds another metre to the excavator’s side reach – up from 5.57m to 6.57m – while up front, the loader has 3.65 tonnes maximum lift capacity and a lift height of 3.59m to the bucket pin.
The loader comes with a six-in-one shovel with pallet forks, a return-to-dig function making loading and re-handling cycles quicker and easier for the operator, and JCB’s Smooth Ride System (SRS) loader arm suspension for improved ride and load retention on the move.
JCB’s proven 3.0-litre 55kW/74hp diesel engine, generating 440Nm of torque and meeting the EU Stage V emissions standards with no requirement for exhaust after- treatment, is paired with a four-speed manual gearbox providing a travel speed of up to
40kph.
This engine/transmission combination reduces service and maintenance costs, with easy access for daily checks and to all filters and fill points, cutting downtime and total cost of ownership.
