JCB has extended the reach, both literally and figuratively, of its ICX backhoe loader with longer loader arms (by 4 inches) and an extending dipper option (now digs up to 10 ft). The Power Management System reduces engine lug down for digging and increases power when driving into a pile with the front bucket. Backhoe has been improved with optional servo controls, replacing the control lever post. An optional changeover switch allows operators to choose an SAE or ISO control pattern.
