JCB Torque Lock (Optional)
An industry exclusive, JCB Torque Lock enables an operator to dramatically reduce travel time and improve fuel efficiency during roading operations.
Torque Lock incorporates a clutch which, when engaged, enables a direct connection between the engine and gearbox. By “locking up” the torque converter, slippage is eliminated. Torque Lock engages automatically in 4th gear (Powershift models) or “A” mode (Autoshift models).
Torque Lock reduces fuel consumption by up to 25%, maintains road speed up hills for longer, and allows the machine to reach its destination quicker or increase its working radius.
Not available on Synchroshuttle models.
Transmission
The JCB Transmissions are designed and built specifically for JCB Backhoe Loaders. They feature synchronized shifting in all gears. Powershuttle between forward and reverse. Ground speeds are designed to maximize productivity.
Optional JCB 6-speed autoshift transmission features automatic upshift and downshift between 4th, 5th, and 6th gear controlled by machine travel speed and incorporates a kickdown pedal to select first gear. The operator may use the Autoshift in manual mode when operator control of shift points is desired. The JCB Powershift transmission allows fast gear changing without losing speed or momentum on gradients.

CAB
Excellent visibility (and safety) is provided by the extra large tinted glass areas of 6.4 sq m (70 sq ft). Cab frame is ROPS and FOPS approved for maximum operator protection. ISO standard 3471 and 3449 (SAE J1040 and J231).
- A fully adjustable seat with lumbar support combines with ergonomically positioned controls to minimise operator fatigue.
- The in-cab noise levels are the lowest in the business for maximum operator comfort.
- A radio location is provided as standard plus twin speakers for stereo sound.
- Cab provides easy access through a two door frame. Rear side windows open either partially or fully for extra ventilation. Standard features include: lap seat belt, 3 speed fresh air/recycle heater, front and rear screen wash/wipers, front and rear horn, exterior mirrors, and flat easy-clean floor.
- The instrument panel is positioned to the right-hand side for ease of viewing from either the loading or excavating position and has an optional lockable cover for vandal proofing. Engine speed, fuel and coolant temperature gauges, (and clock on cab builds) are mounted in the panel.
- A high performance air conditioning system is optionally available providing the operator with a cool working environment when working in high temperatures.
- Mechanical suspension seat gives the operator a comfortable operating position.
- An optionally available heated air suspension seat gives the operator the ultimate comfort with automatic compensation for weight.
- An in-cab hot drinks machine provides the operator with a hot beverage where site facilities don’t exist.
- Optional heated front windscreen removes built up frost in minutes.
- Air-conditioning option further enhances operator comfort.
EasyControl (Optional)
JCB EasyControl offers smooth, low effort and productive backhoe operation, while reducing operator fatigue. Excavator control joysticks are integrated into the seat, providing increased legroom, improved visibility and hydraulic excavator ergonomics. A proportional switch is mounted in the joystick to operate JCB’s Extradig and optional auxiliary circuits are also available to operate various attachments. The low effort mechanical loader control incorporates a proportional switch to operate loader mounted attachments. Best in class hydraulic modulation combined with the greatest digging performance, means that the JCB EasyControl is unmatched in any backhoe loader. This option is available on 92hp and 100hp models.
Power Brakes
The JCB class leading hydraulic power brakes system is fitted as standard and ensures low effort, effective, fade-free braking. The self-adjusting, multi-disc arrangement is inboard mounted and is oil immersed for minimum maintenance and a long operating life.
- A 3 position switch allows the selection of 2 wheel drive with two wheel braking; 2 wheel drive with four wheel braking or 4 wheel drive with four wheel braking.
- Twin brake pedals provide tighter turning circle and enhanced steering control on slippery ground.
- Automatic compensation ensures ‘straight’ machine braking.
- Accumulator back-up provides maximum safety under all conditions and in the case of dead engine applies 4 wheel braking.
- Transmission logic and spring on / hydraulic release 4WD clutch means that the park brake is always applied to front and rear axles for effective braking.
- Increased back off in the brake packs reduces friction and saves fuel.
- Uses the main hydraulic system oil which eliminates the need for a separate brake oil reservoir which also reduces service costs.
- Class leading brakes have proportional braking effort throughout the pedal travel.
- Disc diameter: 220 mm (8.7 in). Friction area: 129,000 sq.mm (200 sq. in) per brake.
- For syncroshuttle transmissions, the independent parking brake is mounted on the input shaft of the rear axle and will hold the machine on 1:3 gradients. It is an over-centre type, adjustable within the cab, with transmission disconnect to prevent premature brake pad wear. Park brake disc diameter: 280mm (11 in). Friction area 5416 sq. mm (8.4 sq.in).
- For powershift transmissions, the integral park brake is a ball and ramp, oil immersed type located within the transmission and will hold the machine on 1:3 gradients. It is an over-centre type, adjustable within the cab, with transmission disconnect to prevent premature brake pad wear. There are 5 friction brake discs having an outside diameter of 127mm (5 in). Frictional area per brake disc is 47.65 sq. cm (7.39 sq. in) giving a total frictional area of 476.5 sq. cm (73.9 sq. in).
Advanced EasyControl (Optional)
Advanced EasyControl is an alternative hydraulic control system available on select JCB 3CX and 4CX backhoe loaders. Building on the successful EasyControl system, it offers even higher levels of operator comfort, control and performance. Features include: seat mounted controls which operate both the excavator and loader; plus a telescopic steering column with integrated forward and reverse control for greater comfort. In addition, Advanced EasyControl boasts high output variable flow hydraulics which provides full flow on demand for increased fuel efficiency, faster digging cycles and maximum productivity and additional filtration for improved efficiency and reliability. This option available on 92hp and 100hp models only.

JCB Smooth Ride System (Optional)
The JCB Smooth Ride System (SRS) consists of a dry nitrogen and oil filled accumulator installed in line with the loader lift cylinders. When activated, the Smooth Ride System allows the loader arms to float. This action counteracts variations in road or site surfaces and provides the operator with a smooth ride. The JCB Smooth Ride System is manually controlled, via a rocker switch on the instrument panel, for maximum benefit and user flexibility

JCB PowerSlide (Optional)
Exclusive to JCB, this factory fit option enables the excavator’s sideshift carriage to be hydraulically powered across the rearframe by the operation of a pedal or joystick mounted proportional switch (EasyControl and Advanced EasyControl) in the cab. With this feature there is no need to “push” the carriage across with the bucket avoiding ground damage and the need to relocate the whole machine.
Hydraulic System
The Open Centre system uses three gear pumps and Hydraulic Speed Control (HSC) with a power modulation valve that automatically varies hydraulic power to match digging conditions for extra performance, control and power.
- In the EcoDig mode the innovative three pump design allows excavating at lower RPM (up to 1700 RPM) to reduce fuel consumption and engine emissions by up to 15%, without reducing performance. (Manual and EasyControl machines only)
- A Power Modulation Valve automatically varies the hydraulic power to match digging conditions to improve performance and efficiency – automatically dumps one pump when 4th gear selected on powershift models
- The HSC switch enables controlled use of hydraulic response depending upon application.
- An independent pump powers the Extradig dipper so that it can extend or retract without breaking the digging cycle. This allows faster cycle times and simultaneous use of the telescopic and normal excavator actions in operations such as grading and bank dressing.
The alternative Closed Centre system uses a single variable flow axial piston pump. This load sensing system matches flow to work demand improving productivity and efficiency. Both systems incorporate:
- Ergonomically positioned levers allowing excellent control of the loader and backhoe.
- A full flow 10 micron filter ensures that oil stays free of contaminants.
