JCB has introduced a range of seven new skid steers—four wheeled and three tracked—in a range that will eventually grow to 18 models. All seven machines are vertical lift, which allows for increased capacity and more reach at maximum lift height. The models now available—the 260, 280, 300 and 330 wheeled skid steers and the 260T, 300T, 320T compact track loaders—are large platform machines with rated operating capacities of 2,600 lb and above. With the introduction of the New Generation machines, JCB will be able to offer a complete range of wheeled and tracked machines, both radial and vertical lift, ranging from 1,300 lb – 3,500 lb. The new generation machines benefit from a number of new features, including a tilting cab with increased service access; multifunction joysticks; a hydraulic quick hitch; isolated cab sealed and pressurized with reduced noise levels; heated air-suspension seat with adjustable armrests; O-ring face seals for all hydraulic connections; and a new range of more than 30 types of JCB attachments. www.jcbna.com
