JCB’s X-Series Continues to Impress

It seems incredible to think that we first got our hands on the new JCB X-Series hydraulic excavators as far back as 2018, and I think it’s fair to say, they have made an impressive impact on the market.

JCB’s X-Series Continues to Impress

A massive amount of investment, technical and engineering design work was put into the JCB X-Series range, and out in the field the machines, many of which I have visited with my Earthmovers hat on, have proven themselves time and time again, as confidence in the machines continues to surge with many big-name end users investing in them.

From the 131X right up to the current largest machine the 370X, not only are they a stylish looking piece of kit, they also feature one of the most comfortable cab environments on the market. They are super smooth on the levers and I always find it to be an enjoyable experience to gain some “stick time” on them.
