Extra power as more Loadalls get DualTech variable transmission


J


CB is launching a new range of Loadall telescopic handlers fea- turing more powerful engines – and offering its DualTech Variable Transmission on additional models. The transmission combines hydro- static drive for low speeds and power- shift mechanical direct drive at faster speeds for better performance and ver- satility. It can now be specifi ed for Agri- Super versions, as well as the smallest full-size Loadall – the 532-60.


More accessible


JCB agriculture managing director John Smith said: “DualTech VT has been immensely successful and popu- lar in our top-spec agricultural Loadall and now we are making it more accessi- ble to a wider range of farm businesses.” User experience and telematics data showed that the DualTech transmis- sion increased productivity and im- proved fuel effi ciency, said Mr Smith.


The latest Loadalls are powered by 4.8-litre JCB 448 DieselMAX engines with a compact package of exhaust af- ter-treatment technologies to meet EU Stage V emissions compliance and pow- er outputs that relate to the Agri, Agri- Super and AgriXtra specifi cation levels. In Agri models, the engine has un-


changed power and torque ratings. But for AgriXtra models, the engine also has an additional 5hp (4kW) at 150hp (112kW) – and a 7% increase in peak torque at 600Nm for livelier performance.


EU regulations


“It’s also a pleasure to use and really does offer the ‘best of both worlds’ char- acteristics of hydrostatic and power- shift drive.”

Loadall models boast more power and torque


“These proven engines have been equipped to meet the latest exception- ally stringent EU particulate matter and NOx levels while eliminating ex- haust gas recirculation and the varia- ble geometry turbocharger, which has been replaced by a simpler electronical- ly-controlled wastegate turbo.”
