Introducing JCB’s 3TS-8T Telescopic Skid Steer
JCB’s most powerful and versatile teleskid model, the 3TS-8T, is making a significant mark in agricultural machinery.
Brandon Hawkins, senior regional business manager with JCB, told Farms.com that the 3TS-8T stands out as the company’s largest telescopic skid steer.
Equipped with a 74-horsepower JCB EcoMAX diesel engine, the machine operates without DEF (diesel exhaust fluid), making it more convenient for farmers.
This telescoping model provides an impressive 13 feet of reach, allowing users to dump materials over high-sided trailers and load fertilizers into spreaders with ease.
The 3TS-8T also helps in lifting seed totes onto tender wagons or placing them directly into field planters. It can even unload pallets from the back of pickup trucks, adding to its everyday utility on farms.
Inside the cab, JCB offers ISO or H pattern control.
A major update is the new touchscreen monitor that includes a built-in backup camera. This screen allows operators to manage job timers, make adjustments, and view important operational data, all in one place.
While JCB also offers other models like the 2TS-7T, which weighs just under 10,000 pounds, the 3TS-8T is heavier at 12,600 pounds.
It comes with high-flow and standard-flow hydraulics, a reversing fan, and other features that support demanding farm jobs.
The 3TS-8T is designed to help farmers handle heavy tasks quickly and safely.
