The best fuel efficiency

JCB EcoMAX engine provides fuel-efficient matching of transmission and hydraulics.

  • Legendary efficiency thanks to our proven JCB EcoMAX engine with no DPF
  • Regenerative hydraulics harness gravitational force to reduce excess revving of the engine
  • ECO mode on AGRI Pro models allow the machine to use less engine revs during applications where full engine power is not needed
  • Best-in-class fuel efficiency of 5.97 litres per hour based on over 2.5 million machine hours in farms around the world.

The best hydraulics  

Our Smart Hydraulics package improves cycle times and reduces fuel consumption.

  • Boom end damping improves material retention and makes for a smoother work cycle
  • Auto bucket control makes it easier to meter out or fully empty material from your bucket or manure fork via a feature button on the joystick
  • Hydraulic auxiliary venting can be activated from inside or outside the cab for quick and safe attachment changeover
  • New optional Chassis Sway is a hydraulic levelling adjustment on the front axle for precision load placement.
