The World’s Safest Skid Steer Loader FAST FACTS n Unique PowerBoom design allows for a safe side
entry door, instead of climbing over potentially dangerous attachments n Best all around visibility in the industry for
improved productivity and safety n Largest and quietest cab in the industry gives
unsurpassed operator comfort n Tilting cab and large opening rear door provide
excellent service access
Unique side-door entry
Exceptional strength
Farms continue to get busier and the safety of employees is paramount. That’s why JCB designed the world’s only skid steer with side door entry and class-leading all around visibility. That means you’ll never have to risk injury by climbing over attachments to enter the cab or worry what is behind you when reversing. JCB Skid Steers offer unparalleled all around visibility by using JCB’s PowerBoom design, which promotes operator safety, visibility and productivity.
JCB’s PowerBoom contains up to 20% more steel than two arms of an ordinary skid steer loader. This provides the strength to give you a lifetime of productivity, whatever the application. Single booms aren’t new – since 1977, JCB Telescopic Handlers have clearly demonstrated the power of the design.
World’s most productive skid steer Operators of ordinary skid steers risk danger everyday by climbing in and out of their machines through the front window, which involves climbing over, or even worse, under attachments. JCB takes the common sense approach – by positioning the door on the side of the machine. What other skid steer design allows the operator to enter or exit a skid steer as safely and easily? None.
JCB offers a full range of skid steers in both vertical and radial lift designs to meet the needs of every customer. Vertical lift with ordinary skid steers comes with a compromise – the torque tube restricts rear visibility. This is not an issue with JCB’s vertical lift design. Ordinary skid steer 165º Visibility
Unrivaled visibility JCB Skid Steers offer 270º of all around visibility – 60% better than any other skid steer. Common sense says the more you can see, the more productive you are and the less likely you are to have an accident. And, because there’s no loader arm on the left side of the machine, JCB Skid Steer operators enjoy a completely unobstructed view on both sides of the machine. Operators will marvel at the comfort and size of the cab, which is on average 33% larger than the competition. Our cab helps to prove the adage: a comfortable operator is a productive operator. The JCB cab features an industry-low noise level and 3 configurations are available – open canopy, cab with heat, and cab with heat and air conditioning.

The Ultimate Farming Machine FAST FACTS n 8.4-liter, high-torque SISU engine delivers power on demand n JCB V-Tronic transmission increases operational potential n Front and rear suspension improves comfort, increases traction and eliminates power-hop n Road speed of up to 43 mph decreases travel time between fields so you can do more n ABS braking gives you safe, controlled stopping power
Power, speed and control When we created the 280 hp and 307 hp JCB 8280 and 8310 Fastracs, we created something unique. First, at the very heart of the 8000 Series Fastracs is the V-Tronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). This increases operational potential in the field by giving you uninterrupted acceleration and deceleration, a number of different operating modes and easier direction changes for simpler operation and handling. Second, because this machine can travel up to 43 mph, you need to know you have stopping power as well as excellent directional stability and control, particularly in wet conditions. That’s what you get from our twin caliper, semi-truck standard braking system, with ABS standard. In fact, JCB is still the only manufacturer to produce a high-draught agricultural tractor that can be legally classified as a high-speed tractor.
Industry leading comfort A comfortable operator is a productive operator. JCB achieves high levels of comfort with front and rear suspension together with equal weight distribution.

JCB AGRICULTURAL RANGE | FULL SIZE TELESCOPIC HANDLERS
Maximum power and productivity As farming operations continue to get bigger, our customers have asked for increased productivity and performance. JCB responded to the challenge by developing the all-new 550-80 Agri Plus, with a maximum lift capacity of 11,000 lb and a maximum load over height of 26 feet 7 inches. The new 550-80 adds increased lift capacity, extra lift height and forward reach with high flow hydraulics to an already robust list of standard equipment. The 550-80 utilizes a ‘Z’ bar front linkage between the hydraulic tilt ram and the carriage, a first for the Loadall product. This design maximizes the force generated by the piston side of the hydraulic ram, which in conjunction with the ‘Z’ bar linkage creates a massive “tear out” force of 14,600 lb, allowing the operator to easily fill the bucket and improve productivity. To compliment this new ‘Z’ bar linkage the boom structure has been designed with increased steel to match the demands of the high tear out capability. The heavy duty boom structure uses 1/2 inch thick steel to ensure
increased strength and rigidity to handle the most demanding jobs on the farm. The JCB one piece chassis has also been designed with this in mind and features 1 inch thick steel side plates, while an optimum wheelbase provides maximum stability and operating at height. The integral hydraulic tank adds structural integrity to the frame and provides additional cooling for the hydraulic oil, ensuring you won’t overheat even on the hottest day. All hydraulic rams are centrally mounted on their pivot point to ensure a symmetrical load on pins and bushes.
Massive Capacity, Unmatched Reliability FAST FACTS n Full Powershift transmission n Massive 11,000 lb lift capacity n 130 hp JCB Dieselmax turbo engine
The 550-80 utilizes an electronically controlled variable flow pump generating a maximum hydraulic flow of 37 gpm. This system, combined with high flow pipework, a fully proportional closed center valve block and an electric servo joystick, creates extremely fast hydraulic cycle times for maximum productivity. Additionally, the 550-80 is fitted with an innovative hydraulic regeneration system that utilizes gravitational force to aid the boom lower and retract functions. This feature reduces the energy input required in these operations. Hydraulic cylinder end damping is standard on the boom raise and retract functions. This feature slows the speed of the hydraulic rod as it approaches the end of its stroke, improving control of the machine and the load as well as improving operator comfort within the cab. A variable speed, reversible, cooling fan is fitted as standard. This feature reacts to changes in ambient air temperature and adjusts the fan automatically to achieve maximum cooling.
n High Flow hydraulics for fast cycle times n Heavy-duty frame and boom for excellent
long-term reliability
As with all the other JCB Agri Loadalls the 550-80 is fitted with an industry leading side-mounted JCB Dieselmax engine that produces 130 hp and provides great visibility for daily check and maintenance. No matter what the job, you can rest assured that the JCB 550-80 is up to the task.
