The JCB 3CX-17 Super is the world’s number one backhoe loader (along with the JCB 4CX). The 3CX-17 Super is a product of JCB’s efficient design philosophy, responding to today’s fluctuating fuel prices and environmental concerns with class-leading efficiency and low running costs. In short, we’ve applied innovative technologies to squeeze the absolute maximum out of every drop of fuel on the JCB 3CX17 Super.

The result? In typical roading, loading, excavating and idle cycles, the 3CX-17 Super JCB backhoe loader, equipped with a powerful 109hp (81kW) EcoMAX engine, delivers an average fuel saving of up to 16%, plus lower emissions and noise levels. And, with extended periods between fill ups, you benefit from a longer, more productive working day.

But the efficiency (and other) benefits certainly don’t end there on a JCB 3CX-17 Super.

A QUALITY WORKPLACE

The JCB 3CX-17 Super is designed to enable fatigue-free, productive day-long working. The cab is rubber-mounted and isolated for low noise and vibration.

A JCB 3CX-17 Super cab is inspired by the automotive industry for familiarity. A heated air suspension seat, heated front screen, and a hot beverage machine are just some of the quality features you can find within.

Ergonomic seat-mounted excavator-style controls – with optional excavator-style backhoe and loader servo controls – provide fingertip control, great comfort and excellent maneuverability.

For more comfort and less material spillage, the 3CX-17 Super’s Smoothride System (SRS) minimizes bounce during travel. You can quickly reset your shovel to the digging position with our return-to-dig feature too.

High back-off brakes reduce viscous drag during roading and re-handling, which improves economy by up to 1%.

The optional handheld tool circuit means you can increase versatility by using your 3CX-17 Super as a power source for handheld tools, such as drills, breakers, cutters and even water pumps.

JCB 3CX backhoe loaders are quiet places to work, both inside and out – particularly the 109hp (81kW) models, which are the quietest in the industry.

Controls on the 3CX-17 Super feature an LCD panel detailing machine hours, service information fuel level and system warnings. A 360° view through tinted windows aids comfort, productivity and safety.

Our innovative scoop design one-piece rear windscreen allows JCB 3CX-17 Super operators to see right into the trench when excavating.

• The 3CX-17 Super’s new EcoMAX engine is designed, tested and built by JCB to work perfectly with JCB axles and gearboxes. T4 Final compliant EcoMAX produces power and torque at around 1500 rpm for responsiveness and fuel-efficient matching of the transmission and hydraulics.

• Because the JCB EcoMAX doesn’t use exhaust after-treatment, it doesn’t need costly heat-resistant lube oils, saving servicing costs. And, because EcoMAX can be adapted to run on lower-grade fuels, Backhoes are resalable across different territories, which boost residuals.

• JCB 3CX engines are tried and tested. We’ve built 200,000 DIESELMAX engines since 2004, and we’ve tested the JCB EcoMAX for 110,000 hours in 70 different machines across the toughest applications and environments.

• For ultimate loading performance, productivity and roading efficiency, the JCB 3CX-17 Super’s EcoMAX engine delivers as much as 109hp (81kW) and 381lbf (516Nm) of torque.

• JCB’s unique TorqueLock system is standard-fit on all 109hp (81kW) powershift 3CX-17 Super models. Combined with our optional 6-speed Autoshift transmission, it can help save up to 25% on fuel and 10% on road travel time.

• Limited slip differential gives a JCB 3CX-17 Super superior traction and performance, as well as reduced tire wear.

• The 3CX-17 Super JCB backhoe loader is fitted with EcoRoad technology to provide the highest efficiency and productivity levels when roading. Fuel consumption is reduced, while machine speed and working area are increased by up to 10%.
