Owner reviews
Virtually every owner and operator describes the JCB 1CX as an exceptionally comfortable purpose-built machine. With such compact dimensions, this backhoe loader can become simply an indispensable assistant on some construction sites. According to its scale, work is assigned to it, and there is always a lot of such work in any city. Naturally, there is no point in digging pits on a JCB 1CX. But to do the “fine jewelry” work of laying trenches near buildings, and simply quickly “making holes in the ground” in the right places (including such tight places where a full-size excavator cannot turn around) is always welcome. The JCB 1CX is no less convenient as a loader: it works accurately, quickly, accurately, and the controls are convenient and pleasant.
However, given the high cost of this backhoe loader, many express doubts about the advisability of purchasing it. They say it will take a very long time to pay off, and where can one find so much work to load it uninterruptedly? Moreover, in any city there is now no shortage of cheap labor from the Central Asian republics, which will readily perform the same excavation work by hand. In addition, in order to transport the JCB 1CX from site to site, you will also have to purchase a trailer.
If we turn to European experience, we will see that in EU countries such compact equipment is very common. This means that our interest in mini-equipment will increase, along with its specific application. Indeed, very often conditions do not allow launching a full-size backhoe loader onto a site. For example, when a client has paving slabs laid or landscape design has been completed. Or the work needs to be done in greenhouses or warehouses, with passages of 1.5 m. Etc., etc.
Specifications
Front loader
The front loader bucket of the JCB 1CX is capable of handling loads weighing up to 0.6 tons with the basic configuration. The original design of equipment on pneumatic wheels or caterpillar tracks guarantees an increase in the angle of rotation of the bucket by 25%, and the breaking force by 15%.
Mini excavator JCB 1CX
When installed with pneumatic wheels, the loader is capable of loading operations at a height of 2.59 m, and with caterpillar tracks - 2.65 m. With these indicators, the equipment effectively performs work in conjunction with machines with high sides.
Eliminating the need for additional leveling of working equipment is due to the installation of four hydraulic cylinders that provide parallel lifting and lowering. This is also an advantage of 1СХ.
