  • Last week (ended 16 February 2024) at its World HQ in Staffordshire, JCB unveiled its new generation of backhoe loaders, updating its 3CX, 4CX and 5CX with a host of innovative new features. iVT editor Tom Stone was there to find out more about the new vehicles, which for the first time include DualDrive, a new system which enables a backhoe to be driven at low speeds with the seat facing to the rear. Other key developments include: single loader lever to reduce operator effort; revised direction control for quicker and easier use; return-to-grade function for improved performance; upgraded quickhitch with wider fork carriage... and lasers! JCB backhoe experts Ed Lovatt and Tom Wheatley were on hand to talk about and demonstrate some of the new features as JCB's Kevin Quarry demonstration centre.

    I remember the electronic handbrake on a 2cx that nearly got me killed on a bypass when it suddenly came on and stopped me in my tracks .

    Technology is only as good as the ongoing support, nice to see stuff like not spinning around to change dig positions, great productivity enhancement but I'm a bit wary of electronic everything and the dirty environment mix😮

    No one seems to market or mention that all 4 tires being the same size beats the hell out of any normal backhoe when using the loader

      More like 30 years for dual-drive 🙂
      I tried a 4CX with dual-drive in 2010, but it was modified by the tiltrotator manufacturer (I think) since JCB couldn't provide it. It was used by it's owner on one of the projects I was on.

    Pretty good…. a knuckle on the dipper would be a good future add-on for highways mowing etc, it would help with stability as the dipper could be in line with the machine with the boom to the side. 🙂👍

      @@samfordham684If they have to be taxed for road use, they’re taxed in a class called ‘special vehicle’. This class of vehicles isn’t allowed to tow. I have one on the farm and years ago you could tax them as tractors, but this was changed, and they can no longer be classed as a tractor, unless the rear backhoe is removable, like some old MF’s were. £165.00 I believe for the year.

    They are great machines with very low consumption working with the arm. But it is almost impossible to beat an excavator between 4.5 and 9 tons combined with a small transport truck.

    I would prefer a pedal for throttle and a pedal for brakes instead of the switch, would be more intuitive.

    More electronics to go wrong, as an owner operator I have had jcb and would never go back to them, let down so much on promises! 180% are a thing of the past,360% are here to stay, no making mud, sit in one place and work

      You're so right....my mate ran his own plant firm....3cx electronics crap...I hired one for a day....wouldn't change gear, wouldn't shift up until I went over a bump in road....then dropped into 4th...he got rid of most of his 180s no one wants them....
