THE WORLD’S NUMBER ONE

JCB PIONEERED THE BACKHOE

LOADER IN 1953. SINCE THEN,
WE’VE REMAINED THE MARKET
LEADER, INVENTING FEATURES
LIKE 4WD AND THE SIDE-SHIFT
CHASSIS. AS YOU’D EXPECT,
THE NEW 3DX CONTINUES
THIS TRADITION, DELIVERING
CLASS-LEADING PRODUCTIVITY,
COMFORT AND FUEL SAVINGS.

Ultimate versatility
1 As the market leader, JCB sells around half of all
the world’s backhoe loaders.
COMPETITORS’
COMBINED 2 A JCB backhoe is the most versatile construction
MARKET SHARE machine you can buy. Combining the key benefits of
both loading shovels and excavators, it’s effectively
two machines in one package.

3 A JCB backhoe is designed to drive around sites,

drive between sites, and then drive home at the end
1 of the day. 2 3

THE NEW JCB 3DX IS

THOROUGHLY STRESS TESTED
AND CLIMATE TESTED. IT’S ALSO
BUILT USING ONLY THE FINEST
COMPONENTS, WHICH ENSURES
THAT IT’S DURABLE ENOUGH TO
CARRY OUT THE HARDEST TASKS.

Ultimate performance
1 The new JCB 3DX uses JCB’s own special 1
backhoe loader driveline. This is a popular,
trusted, well-proven unit that works in perfect
harmony with our machines for ultimate To protect the 3DX from

fenders, bonnet and nose.

2 Because the JCB 3DX is used by customers all

over the world, we’ve tested it rigorously in climates

ranging from -20°C to 50°C. Its JCB DIESELMAX
engine has excellent fuel filtration to handle varying
fuel quality.

3 We’ve stress tested the new 3DX across 1.2

million cycles of the hardest digging and loading

applications. As a result, every part of the machine
can perform the very toughest duties.

4 We check every 3DX cab for leaks so you can

be sure of a dry, dust free cab.

PRODUCTIVITY AND PERFORMANCE: EXCAVATOR
The JCB 3DX has a narrow-profile
boom and dipper for superb visibility
when excavating.
POWERFUL HYDRAULICS,
HUGE TEAROUT FORCES,
COMMANDING VISIBILITY
AND PERFECTLY MATCHED
COMPONENTRY, THE NEW
JCB 3DX’S EXCAVATOR
ARM IS DESIGNED TO
PROVIDE UNSURPASSED
PRODUCTIVITY, SPEED
AND CONTROL.

Excavating performance
1 We use a high pressure efficient hydraulic system

with large hydraulic cylinders. This provides the 3DX 1

with big tearout forces – perfect for hard ground and
arduous digging.

2 With a 5700 kgf bucket tearout, the new 3DX is

supremely productive, even in the hardest applications.

3 The boom and dipper are perfectly matched,

meaning you can dig right up to the bottom of the

boom reducing repositioning of the machine and
providing better visibility.

4 A 128-litre fuel tank allows all-day working

without refuelling. 2 3 4

HIGH TORQUE JCB DIESELMAX ENGINE.

Loading performance
1 JCB’s cutting edge DIESELMAX engine was

designed from scratch to produce superb performance,

high torque levels and ultimate productivity.

2 With tens of thousands of units in service around

the world, carrying out many applications, the
DIESELMAX engine is renowned for its reliability. 5

3 4-ram parallel lift loader geometry means clear

visibility, excellent load retention, superb dump

height, long reach, and fast truck loading.

4 To make visibility even better, the new 3DX has

a sloping bonnet line, which provides an unhindered
view of the shovel for loading and site clearance.

5 A D-shaped, durable, heavy-duty design means

the 3DX’s loader arms don’t twist or flex. As a result,

there’s a formidable shovel breakout force as well as

3DX DON’T STOP THERE.

1 Saving money
1 We understand that fuel is one of a backhoe
loader’s biggest costs. That’s why we’ve designed the
new 3DX to provide a combination of increased
productivity and reduced fuel consumption, saving
you money.

2 We’ve used only proven, reliable components on

the new JCB 3DX to maximise uptime and ensure

that your machine spends as much time as possible
earning you money.

contaminates out of the fuel system. We also have an
air filter which is regularly cleaned by the engines

mounted site gauge. You can fill the hydraulic and

diesel tanks easily at ground level. 2 3 4
