Advantages: The JCB 3CX C’mount has many advantages, such as its SideShift or CenterMount design, SAE dig depth of 5460 mm, and Reach @ ground level of 5370 mm, allowing the operator to easily and smoothly since the cab is mounted closer to the excavator’s arm. Additionally, it has a Loading height of 3840 mm, meaning it can be easily loaded with materials. The Bucket width, min-max of 230-1800 mm provides versatility when it comes to excavating or loading, while the Bucket breakouts of 5700 kgf and 3635 kgf make the cab easier to operate and handle large amounts of material. Lastly, the Twin ram Slew system makes the JCB 3CX C’mount stable when turning on the spot, making it easier for the operator to remain in control.
Real-World Example: The JCB 3CX C’mount can be used for a variety of purposes, such as ground leveling and excavation work. Its SideShift or CenterMount design allows for smooth turns, making it not only more efficient for the operator, but also safer as it is more difficult to lose control. The bucket width of 230-1800 mm provides a range of sizes and makes it suitable for materials of varying densities, while the twin ram slew system allows the operator to remain in control when turning and excavating. This combination of features makes the JCB 3CX C’mount an ideal choice for operators who need to complete ground-leveling and excavation work quickly and efficiently.
Disadvantages: The JCB 3CX C’mount also has some disadvantages, such as its Pump flow of 136 lit/min and Relief valve pressure of 227 bar, which are relatively low compared to other models in its class. Additionally, its 2WD/4WD Drive cannot provide the same level of traction as a more powerful 4WD, making it less suitable for rougher terrains. Its Transmission type of Full Powershift makes it slightly slower than more modern transmissions, and its Travel length of 7190 mm means that it cannot cover as much distance as larger models. Furthermore, its limited Turn circle radius without brakes of 4150 mm means it cannot turn on the spot as easily as other models.
Real-World Example: The JCB 3CX C’mount’s Pump flow of 136 lit/min and Relief valve pressure of 227 bar are relatively low compared to other more powerful models, making it less suitable for heavy-duty applications that require a higher output, such as deep excavation work. Furthermore, its 2WD/4WD Drive cannot provide the same level of traction on rougher terrains as higher-end 4WD models, making it unsuitable for jobs that require a lot of off-roading. Additionally, the Turn circle radius without brakes of 4150 mm means that it cannot turn on the spot as easily as other models, making it less suitable for tight spaces. As a result, the JCB 3CX C’mount may not be the best choice for operators who need to complete heavy-duty or space-restricted tasks.
