JCB Series III Loadall.
The new JCB Series III Loadall made its international debut at the recent SIMA show in Paris, winning Machine of the Year 2019.
The company spent £8 million on developing this Loadall, said to be 50% quieter, more spacious, more comfortable and with better visibility.
The new Series III Loadall range scored its win in the handling equipment category; JCB previously won the same award at the 2017 event for its AgriPro Loadall.
The competition honours the most innovative agricultural products, with winners chosen by European journalists who specialise in farm machinery.
The latest Series III Loadall is specifically for agricultural operators. It has an all-new Command Plus cab which is quieter, wider and longer, has an improved driving position and controls easier to locate and use. Its instrument display is larger and more informative than previously.
In other JCB News, the UK company has been granted an injunction by a French court against its rival Manitou. The court has directed the French manufacturer to stop production, sales or hire of any telehandlers with a JCB-patented productivity feature. Manitou was to have ceased using the feature by March 13 and must pay all court costs.
The case centres on JCB’s Longitudinal Load Movement Control (LLNC) system, which uses sensors to monitor weight being carried by the machine’s rear axle.
In operation, the sensors detect that weight reducing below a pre-set threshold, progressively reducing hydraulic function to prevent weight transfer to the front axle and the machine tipping over forwards.
A feature within the unit reduces the risk of false stability indications as the machine is used for re-handling or travelling over rough terrain, helping to improve productivity.
British industrial and agricultural machinery manufacturer JCB has won a £152 million (NZ$348m) military contract with the US Marine Corps as part of the Tractor, Rubber Tired, Articulated-Steering Multi-Purpose (TRAM) vehicle programme.
There can't be many people who on seeing the distinctive bright yellow and red colour scheme, don’t think ‘JCB’. Indeed, JCB has largely become the generic name for all brands of excavators, not unlike the term Fridge or Hoover.
JCB has released details of its new Fastrac 6000 Series, filling the gap between the current 4000 Series (160- 240 horsepower) and the 8000 Series (330+ horsepower).

A Waikato farmer who set up a 'tinder' for cows - using artificial intelligence to find the perfect bull for each cow - days the first-year results are better than expected.
