One of the main issues with tractor loaders is that they have always been based on lightweight agricultural machines; basically modified tractors with a bolt-on loader and excavator. The JCB Midi CX is purpose designed as a backhoe loader. So like the rest of our world-beating BHL range, it features an integrated chassis that's designed to withstand construction site duty cycles. This makes
it much stronger, more durable and a better longerterm investment, especially when faced with the rigours of the rental market.

This brand new machine features a fully glazed, spacious cab with easy access, a simple, ergonomic
instrumentation layout and console-mounted forward and reverse control. Powered by a 4-cylinder 50hp (37.3kW) engine, the Midi CX has a dig depth of 3048mm (10 feet). The driveline features heavy-duty JCB axles with limited slip differentials on the rear axle, and fourwheel drive is standard to cope with tough terrain.

The machine can travel quickly around and between sites for maximum productivity, and for Genuine JCB backhoe loader performance longer distances it can be transported on a 7.5-tonne plant truck. At the loader end of the Midi CX a low-level,single-piece bonnet gives class-leading visibility. There are also powerful breakout forces, an antispill mechanism to retain the load when raising the loader and auxiliary hydraulics for a 6-in-1 shoveland other attachments.

bi-directional attachments such as hammers and earth drills, servo controls give fingertip control and a narrow boom and dipper again mean visibility
is excellent.
