Advantages
SideShift or CenterMount: SS feature is beneficial for better precision in material placement, as it facilitates easier access to close spaces or tight corners. This is ideal for landscaping and construction sites, where operators need to place material accurately.
SAE dig depth (mm): Digging depth of 4750mm allows operators to work in deeper, more complex excavations. This feature can be beneficial in forestry, commercial, and industrial applications that require digging in deeper layers.
Reach @ ground level (mm): The reach of 5370mm provides excellent stability and avoids overstretching and bending when loading. This is beneficial for outdoor loading, where operators need to load material at heights and over long distances.
Loading height (mm): The loading height of 4120mm is beneficial in maintaining optimum height efficiency, and is best-suited for riding over uneven surfaces and slopes.
Bucket width, min-max (mm): The range of bucket width from 300-910mm is highly advantageous for a wide range of applications which need variable bucket widths, such as mining, forestry, and construction.
Bucket breakout (kgf): The bucket breakout of 4763kgf ensures efficient loading performance and allows for easy material execution.
Dipper breakout (kgf): The dipper breakout of 2681kgf offers excellent force for a reliable performance of dippers in various excavating applications, such as digging and loading material.
Engine Make & Model: The engine is a Perkins 4.236, which is renowned for its robustness and superior performance.
Engine power (kW@rpm): The engine power of 53kW@2200rpm is beneficial for a task that needs more demanding power and torque, such as heavy-duty operations.
Pump type: The gear pump type offers precise pressure control and can cope with more extreme operating conditions than other pump types.
Pump flow (lit/min): 118lit/min pump flow is beneficial for applications that involve a high-volume or denser material that needs more optimal force.
Relief valve pressure (bar): The relief valve pressure of 207bar offers great control and precision in pumping operations.
Transmission type: The PS TC transmission allows for quick, precise, and consistent speed selection, which is highly beneficial for excavating tasks that require precise operation.
Drive: The 2WD or 4WD feature provides excellent traction and stability, which is perfect for working on rough terrain or climbing slopes.
Speeds, FR: The 44speeds, FR feature allows for great flexibility in application and task efficiency.
Maximum speed (km/h): The maximum speed of 34km/h offers excellent control, acceleration, traction, and stability while working on application sites.
Ride control (Std/Opt/NA): The ride control feature is beneficial in providing a smooth and comfortable ride, even on the most bumpy surfaces.
Travel length (mm): The travel length of 6150mm lets operators move around the job site with ease.
Turn circle radius without brakes (mm): The turn circle radius without brakes of 6050mm makes it well-suited for tight turns and maneuverability in smaller places.
Operating weight (kg): The operating weight of 6491kg is beneficial in providing excellent balance and stability while lifting, loading, and moving material.
Disadvantages
Slew System: The JCB 3CX, 1985 Technical Specifications do not have a slew system feature, which can limit its precision and accuracy in applications that require more precise material placement.
Engine displacement (lit): The JCB 3CX, 1985 Technical Specifications do not include mention of engine displacement, which can limit its capability for heavier or more complex applications.
Number of cylinders: The JCB 3CX, 1985 Technical Specifications do not specify the number of cylinders, which can reduce its efficiency in more demanding tasks.
Dump height (mm): The dump height of 2630mm can be limiting for applications where material needs to be dumped at a higher height.
Bucket width (mm): The bucket width of 2235mm can be limiting for applications that require a wider bucket width.
Model: The JCB 3CX, 1985 Technical Specifications are only suited for the 3CX model, making it incompatible with other models.
