BACKHOE LOADER 3CX/4CX ECO
BACKHOE LOADER 3CX/4CX ECOGross Power: 55kW (74hp) – 81kW (109hp) Maximum Dig Depth: 4m – 6.14m Maximum Shovel Capacity: 1.0m3 – 1.3m3
COST OF OWNERSHIP AND EFFICIENCY.THE LATEST 3CX AND 4CX BACKHOES DON’TJUST PROVIDE YOU WITH THE POWER TOGET THINGS DONE; THEY ALSO OFFER YOUCOUNTLESS FEATURES TO ENSURE THATPERFORMANCE IS EFFICIENT, ANDOWNERSHIP COSTS ARE REDUCED.An efficient drivetrain.1 JCB’s EcoMAX engine doesn’t require exhaustafter treatment, heat-resistant oils or AdBlue, all ofwhich saves money on servicing.2 By producing high levels of power and torqueeven at engine speeds as low as 1200rpm, EcoMAXcan provide fuel-efficient matching of transmissionand hydraulics.JCB’s unique TorqueLock system is now standard on81kW (109hp) Powershift model 3CX and 4CXbackhoes. Combined with our optional 6-speedAutoshift transmission, it can help save up to 25%on fuel and 10% on road travel time.For ultimate efficiency, our unique newentry-level 55kW high torque (400Nm) engineprovides excellent excavator performance with thefuel usage of a low power unit.323CX/4CX ECO BACKHOE LOADER123
COST OF OWNERSHIP AND EFFICIENCYResidual benefits.Our EcoMAX engine can be adapted to run onlower-grade fuels, which makes the 3CX and 4CXeasily resalable across different territories. This, ofcourse, boosts residuals.4A JCB 3CX or 4CX is a great asset in many respects,not least financially – huge global demand, pluslegendary productivity, plus superb build qualityequals maximum resale value.Added efficiency.As products of the JCB Efficient Design programme,our T4i backhoe loaders use up to 9% less fuel thanour Tier 3 models.To reduce noise and save fuel, we’ve fitted the 3CXand 4CX with a viscous fan as standard; this only cutsin when it’s needed, and doesn’t draw engine power.High back-off brakes reduce viscous drag duringroading and rehandling, which in turn improveseconomy by up to 2%.56 Because the 3CX and 4CX are fitted with aThatcham-approved security system (dependingon territory), you could benefit from lowerinsurance premiums.A new high output variable flow pump reduces cycletimes and saves fuel. On manual machines, it alsoprovides lighter lever effort for easier control.4563CX/4CX ECO BACKHOE LOADER3
QUALITY, RELIABILITY AND DURABILITY.THE LATEST JCB 3CX AND 4CX ECO MACHINES AREDESIGNED FOR HARD WORK. THEY’RE MADE USINGONLY THE VERY FINEST MATERIALS AND PROCESSES,WHICH ARE TESTED, TRIED AND PROVEN TO EXCEL.THEY’RE ALSO PROTECTED FROM THE INEVITABLERIGOURS OF SITE LIFE.Damage limitation.1 To stop the 3CX or 4CX’s kingpost hoses fromsnagging and sustaining damage, we enclose themin a flexible, robust guide.2 The steering ram on these backhoes is protectedfrom impact damage whilst loading, because it’smounted behind the front axle.123 To protect boom and dipper hoses from theperils of trenchwork, we’ve enclosed them inside therear structures of the machine.4 The rams on our 3CX and 4CX machines areultra-reliable because they’re protected fromdebris when loading by optional JCB clam shovelram guards.5 To safeguard from impact damage on site, the3CX and 4CX are now fitted with rear light guards.343CX/4CX ECO BACKHOE LOADER45
