Its display at the event includes the 560-80 AGRI telescopic handler, which features a DualTech variable speed transmission and a high-capacity piston pump that JCB said enables greater lifting power and fast cycle times for tasks such as loading hay, filling spreaders or managing large-scale material handling. Other features include a reversing fan to keep debris clear from the engine, a comfortable cab and LED lighting for visibility in early morning and late night operations.

Also on hand is the 525-60 AGRI compact telehandler, which JCB said combines a space-saving design with advanced hydraulics and an inching pedal for precise control. Features include a reversible fan, additional cab and boom lighting and an operator-focused cab designed to meet the demands of livestock operations and fieldwork.

The company is also showcasing its Fastrac tractor models. Ranging from 217 to 335 hp, the tractors were developed to deliver the power farmers need for planting, hauling and tillage. Road speeds up to 43 mph and a 50:50 weight distribution allow the Fastrac to move between fields and farms quickly while maintaining optimal traction in the field.

At the show, attendees can also explore the iCON armrest display, an ergonomic system that allows operators to customize controls and interface settings without needing to power up a tractor.

Rounding out the lineup is the 1CXT backhoe loader, a multi-use machine that combines the capabilities of a skid steer and a mini excavator. With faster travel speeds and the flexibility to handle diverse on-farm projects, the 1CXT is suited for applications such as repairing field tile, managing feedlots or performing general farm construction.
