Owner reviews of the JCB 3CX

Positive reviews about the JCB 3CX and JCB 3CX Super backhoe loaders predominate on the Internet: the equipment is reliable, superior in performance to domestic analogues (modern modifications of the famous Petushka - EO-2621, based on MTZ-80-82 "), and even more so superior to analogues made in China and Turkey.

Although those “JCB 3CX” that have been offered on the Russian market in recent years are also “originally from China” - they were manufactured in China. In this regard, there is an unconfirmed but persistent opinion, voiced by different people and from different regions, that JCB 3CX excavators used to be much more reliable. And those produced after 2007 (Chinese assembly) have become noticeably worse both in the quality of the metal from which the parts are made, and in the most important indicators of reliability and performance, and their build quality has become “lame”. In general, this is not the “JCB 3CX” that it was before.

There are also a lot of complaints about the quality of service offered by dealers (entrepreneurs who have opened service centers under the Lonmadi franchise): it is often very expensive, and also not always fast, high-quality and conscientious. Many people try, if possible, to maintain their excavator themselves. Nevertheless, this backhoe loader is still called the undisputed best in its class, on which you can work and, most importantly, earn money, most efficiently.

Of course, the equipment of the JCB 3CX cabin deserves the highest praise. It is really very comfortable and convenient to work in. The only disadvantage is the location of the glass, which is simply glued into the openings. This sometimes leads to their damage, and replacement turns into a rather long and difficult process.

Technical characteristics of the JCB tractor

The 3СХ model is used to perform a wide range of work. The tractor can be equipped with various attachments. The front linkage is equipped with buckets of different configurations. The tractor boom is equipped with a bucket, jackhammer, drill and other equipment.

The car has an all-wheel drive chassis. This makes it possible to use the model in areas with poor coverage. High maneuverability allows the tractor to be used in confined spaces. You can also read about the Minitractor TZ 4k 14: Technical characteristics.

Power unit

The Jisibi tractor is equipped with a diesel power plant. The motor has a long service life and is unpretentious to the conditions of use.

Engine Specifications:

• Number of working cylinders – 4;
• Cylinder diameter – 12.3 centimeters;
• The piston stroke from bottom to top dead center is 13.2 cm;
• The volume of the power unit is 4.4 liters;
• Maximum power – 92 horsepower.

The engine is started by an electric starter. The starter is powered by a battery. For starting in the cold season, a pre-heater is provided. The motor has an air filtration system. It protects the parts of the central piston group from wear due to abrasive particles. Liquid cooling ensures uninterrupted operation of the power plant at any ambient temperature.

Cabin and operator's station

The JCB 3СХ tractor has a metal cabin. Specialized protection is included in the cab frame. It prevents operator death if the machine overturns. The cabin has panoramic glazing. This gives the operator a good overview while working. The cabin is sealed, which prevents dust from entering the cabin.

Transmission. Steering and brake control

The JCB 3CX gearbox was created exclusively for this equipment, taking into account all the specifics of its use. On the backhoe loader, it is possible to install a four-speed manual transmission (4 forward speeds and 4 reverse speeds) of two types:

• Powershift (“Powershift”) with reverse and one shift lever located on the steering column;
• Syncroshuttle with electric directional drive and torque converter for particularly smooth gear changes on the move.

Gearboxes of JCB 3CX backhoe loaders are fully synchronized. A convenient location of the electric drive lever for selecting the direction of movement has been thought out - on the steering column. This allows you to change the direction of movement of the tractor without removing your hands from the steering wheel, which reduces interruptions in work.

The operation of the gearbox together with the reverse movement system allows you to change the direction of movement of the tractor without loss of speed. Thanks to the limited slip differential, torque is automatically distributed to the wheels, depending on traction conditions.

The torque converter torque conversion ratio is 3.01:1 Forward/reverse switch – servo drive. The driving speed is: in first gear – 7.3 km/h; in second gear – 11.7 km/h; In third gear – 22 km/h; in fourth gear – 40 km/h.

The hydrostatic front wheel steering system uses the main hydraulic pump through a steering priority valve. In the event of engine failure, the emergency steering system is activated.

The tractor brakes are disc brakes, self-adjusting with a servo drive, with low pedal pressure. The backhoe loader brake system provides effective and reliable braking in a variety of situations. Due to the fact that self-regulating disc brakes operate in an oil bath, their properties are maintained even after several years of intensive use.

Tires on the JCB 3CX are: Sitemaster 12.5-18-10 (front) and Sitemaster 16.9-28-12 (rear).

Characteristics of the 4СХ model

The JCB 4CX is a more powerful machine than previous tractors. The model is reliable and unpretentious to operating conditions. The front and rear wheels of the JCB 4CX excavator loader tractor have the same diameter. This increases the model’s cross-country ability in difficult areas.

Traktor JCB 4СХ is used on construction sites, for digging pits, loading cargo, drilling soil, etc. The model is used by public utilities to clear areas of snow and debris. To do this, a front blade and brush are installed.

Power point

The JCB 4CX tractor is equipped with a diesel power unit with turbocharging and multi-stage air purification. Maximum power is 101 hp. With. The engine has a liquid cooling system. It allows you to use the machine at any temperature. The unit is started by an electric starter. The starter is controlled remotely from the operator's cabin.

ATTENTION: An additional fan is included in the cooling system. This allows the machine to be used at high temperatures.

Operator's cabin

The loader differs from previous models in increased comfort of the operator's workplace. The cabin is sealed and soundproofed. This reduces operator fatigue during long-term work. The cabin has panoramic glazing and a lighting system for working in the dark.

ABOUT

The abbreviation JCB is the initials of the company's founder, Joseph Cyril Bamford. The full name of the company is JCB Excavators Limited. Initially, the company was English, but is now transnational. It has been in business since 1945, when Bamford began making his own trailers and carts from scrap metal. They were equipped with a simple and convenient manual lifting and self-unloading mechanism, Joseph's own design, and quickly found their niche in the market.

In 1947, these trailers began to be equipped with a hydraulic lift. Since 1949, a “branded” bright yellow color appeared - all JCB equipment began to be painted in this particular tone. And the first backhoe loader under the JCB brand, MK-1, was built in 1953. From that time to the present day, self-propelled backhoe loaders have become the company's main product.

The trailers that started it with.

In 1960, the company entered the market of the United States and Canada, and in 1979 it began operations in India. Today it owns 18 factories. 11 of them are located in Britain, 3 in India, 1 each in the USA, Brazil, Germany and China. JCB equipment is sold and serviced by dealers in 150 countries around the world.

JCB can be called an exemplary family company: when Joseph Bamford retired in the late 70s (he died in 2001, at the age of 84), his son Anthony became the head of the company. And currently the head of the company is Joseph Bamford Jr., the grandson of that same enthusiast who started a big business by purchasing a used welding machine and assembling trailers of his own design.

JCB products have been represented in Russia since 1991. A network of franchised dealerships develops and supports the English-Russian joint venture Lonmadi, the main shareholders of which are British. This name is derived from the names of the Moscow Automobile and Highway Institute (MADI), deputy. whose vice-rector Viktor Sokolov became the founder and for 13 years the head of the Russian branch for the sale and maintenance of JCB equipment.

This is what the JCB 3CX was like in the late 70s.

When developing the JCB 3CX model, the company's specialists, drawing on many years of experience, proceeded from the goal of creating the most universal machine for earthmoving, which would not only be distinguished by high productivity and efficiency, but would also be attractive in terms of efficiency and low cost of ownership .

The result is an excavator that is equally suited to cost-effective operation in large fleets, small businesses, private owners and rental fleets alike.

Characteristics of the JCB Fastrac tractor

The JCB Fastrac is a versatile machine. The tractor is designed to perform various tasks. During production, several modifications of the machine were produced.

Application area is agriculture. The model has high traction characteristics and good cross-country ability. The tractor is used for soil cultivation using various equipment. In industry and construction, the machine can tow trailers.

Depending on the modification, the manufacturer installs diesel power plants with a maximum power of 160 to 260 horsepower. This indicator is sufficient for the intended use of the equipment.

A distinctive feature of the Fastrac technology is the same track size of the front and rear axles. Models have larger wheels. Due to the large contact area with the surface, the wheels exert minimal pressure on the ground.

ATTENTION: JCB Fastrac models are equipped with a cross-axle differential lock. This allows the tractor to be used off-road.

From the above it follows that JCB tractors are high-quality universal special equipment. The JCB tractor, the technical characteristics of which are given above, can perform a wide range of work.

Application
