The JC65 is a wheeled skid steer rated at 1,050 kg operating load, which puts it between the small 700 kg machines and the big 1,300 kg-plus units. For farmyard work, pallet handling and general site loading, that is usually the right rung on the ladder. It weighs 3,500 kg, so it has the mass to push without hopping.
Engine and hydraulics
A four-cylinder 498T diesel, 3.168 liters, 98 x 105 mm bore and stroke, rated 55 kW at 2,450 rpm with 245 N·m of torque. Auxiliary flow is quoted at 75/120 L/min. Fuel tank holds 80 liters. Top travel speed is 12 km/h.
Reach and geometry
Arc lift, not vertical lift. That matters. Arc lift gives you more breakout down low and less reach at full height, so it favours digging and backdragging over loading a high-sided truck. Hinge pin height is 3,280 mm, dump height 2,500 mm and dump reach 700 mm at a 40-degree dump angle. Bucket rollback is 30 degrees on the ground and 104 degrees at full height. Bucket capacity is 0.5 m³.
It runs 12-16.5 tires on a 1,080 mm wheelbase with 1,500 mm tread centers. Overall width is 1,880 mm, the same as the bucket, and ground clearance is 205 mm. Front turning radius is 2,112 mm with the bucket fitted, 1,250 mm without.
