The JCB 3CX Sitemaster is the most popular of all the JCB backhoe loader models. It was launched shortly after the 2wd 3CX in the mid 1980s. Over the years, JCB has added ay variants, but the 3CX Sitemaster has stood the test of time. This four wheel drive backhoe loader (although JCB insist on calling them ‘excavator loaders’) comes as standard with the Extradig with 6-in-1 shovel and forks – the standard dipper and GP shovel is only for the standard 3CX model. The Sitemaster does share the same engine specifications as the standard model, using the JCB 444 engines for stage II, stage III and stage IV with choices of output from 63 or 68kW. For the top spec models, consider the Contractor with heavy duty lift rams or the Super Sitemaster range.
