Launched in October 2019, the JCB 1CXT delivers backhoe loader capability and versatility to job sites that are too small for a conventional machine. At less than 6 ft wide and 12 ft long, the ICXT is JCB’s smallest backhoe loader and is 60 percent smaller than a full-size machine, yet it delivers impressive performance with loader bucket breakout force up to 5,180 lbf and dig depth to 10 ft, 1 in. And as the only tracked backhoe loader available in North America, the 1CXT delivers superior climbing capability, pushing power, stability and soft ground performance. With a transport weight under 9,600 lb, the 1CXT can be towed between job sites without a CDL (subject to local regulations).
