Read More (Used JCB Excavators for Sale)Micro and mini excavators from this manufacturer cater to those small-scale jobs that still need to be executed efficiently, while larger tracked and wheeled models are on offer for instances where more digging power, reach and bucket capacity are necessary. If you are buying a used JCB excavator, then remember that different technologies have been developed over the years, so taking a close look at the specifications is essential.
A wheeled excavator might be a better fit for certain farms and sites, especially if it is necessary to take into account things such as how manoeuvrable and loud a particular unit is when in operation. Tracked excavators offer better grip and balance but are heavier, louder and slower in general. The JS145W is a fuel-efficient and modern example of a JCB wheeled excavator with an operating weight of 14.5 tonnes and a 93KW engine. The large, comfortable cab is also kitted out with intuitive controls and safety features, while the hydraulic circuitry on the arm helps to deliver impressive digging power, which can help to tear through tough materials.
Micro excavators from JCB are much smaller, with many designed to squeeze through doorways and narrow passages so that they can get to areas that might be tough for other machines to reach without some major remodelling required. The 8010 CTS is a micro excavator that weights a fraction over a tonne and can dig at depths of up to 2.15 metres. Dump height is another important consideration, and even with its small size this model manages to lift loads up to almost 1.9 metres, with a range of other attachments available so that it can be used to break up rubble and earth as well as move it. With a larger footprint than JCB’s entry-level micro excavator, the 8010 CTS is a little more stable and planted, while the weight is minimised thanks to a tubular boom which is still sturdy and strong.
If a mini excavator is more appropriate for your needs, then JCB still has you covered. The JCB 8030 ZTS is a zero tail swing model that can be used in close proximity to upright structures without being impeded by their presence. A 1.5 litre engine from Perkins is used to deliver 20.9kW of power, while this excavator can dig to 3.119 metres and dump at an impressive height of 3.2 metres. Maintenance is kept to a minimum, and the modern excavators of this kind have been developed so that service intervals are longer than ever before. So if you are looking for a second-hand JCB excavator, there should be many options in good condition available.
And with various class-leading features on board even the smallest and most affordable machines, it is easy to see why many agricultural organisations choose models from this manufacturer rather than looking elsewhere to fulfil their excavation needs.
