A backhoe loader earns its keep when one machine has to dig the trench, load the spoil and then drive itself to the next address. That is what this JCB has been doing. The hour meter read 9,151 at the 26 September 2023 check, so buy it as a machine with real service history rather than a low-hour showpiece.
Operating weight is 8,100 kg, roughly 17,860 lb. That is enough mass to hold the machine down through a hard dig without pushing it out of the range most equipment trailers can legally carry. Engine output is 74 hp, matched to a 1.1 cubic meter bucket (about 1.4 cubic yards). Trenching, footings, backfill and general muck shifting are all within its comfortable range.

Equipment listed on the machine
- Extradig, which extends reach and dig depth without repositioning the machine
- Torque lock for firmer, faster road travel
- SmoothRide system (SRS) cushioning the loader arms over rough ground
- Auto idle, dropping engine rpm on its own when the controls sit still
- Load sensing hydraulics
- Enclosed operator cab
Travel speed of 36.7 km/h is quick for a backhoe and it matters more than people expect. If you run two or three sites in a day, the road time is where the machine either pays or costs you. The 160 liter tank covers a full shift for most operators.
One honest caveat. The hour figure above is the reading we hold on file and it is dated. Call us on (712) 356-0109 and we will get you a current meter photo before you commit anything. Freight is a flat $550 to the continental US and you have 30 days from delivery to return it.
