Advantages:
The JCB 4CXTRA Plus, released in 1996, is known for having excellent side-shifting or center-mount capabilities, making it one of the most versatile excavators on the market. This feature allows operators to reach beneath objects, along walls and around tight-fitting spaces, perfect for confined construction sites. Additionally, the machine’s dig depth can reach up to 6450 mm, and the bucket width can range from 305 to 1100 mm—both of which provide ample lifting capacity for a variety of jobs. Its reach at ground level is also 7600 mm, meaning that it can fit underneath various objects or structures easily. Furthermore, it has a bucket breakout of 5534 kgf and a dipper breakout of 4132 kgf, which gives it increased power and stability, especially when performing heavy-duty tasks.
Disadvantages:
On the other hand, the JCB 4CXTRA Plus does lack some features which may be limiting for certain types of work. For instance, the machine does not have ride control, which is especially important for operators in difficult terrains. Furthermore, its maximum speed is only 35 km/h, making it more difficult and time-consuming to cover large distances. Additionally, its engine make and model—Perkins 1004.4HRT—may limit the amount of power it can access, which could be an issue when undertaking bigger tasks. Finally, the transmission type is just full power-shuttle, which can be limiting for operators who are expecting more gear options and variations.
