A three-pump hydraulic system
reduces fuel consumption and
engine emissions by up to 15%.
Through the use of JCB’s innovative
Hydraulic Speed Control (HSC) system,
the operator can select the number of
hydraulic pumps in use, increasing tractive
effort when loading, and improving fine
control when grading and backfilling.
JCB’s EcoRoad locking torque
converter, power brakes and improved
driveline efficiency result in impressive
fuel savings of up to 25% and a significant
exhaust emission reduction. This leads
to a boost in productivity and a lower
environmental impact.
Innovation – efficiency
Product Selling GuideProduct Selling Guide

Innovation Innovation
The EcoDig system uses three hydraulic pumps rather than
two. This allows the same excavator performance even when
operating at lower engine speed.
• Up to 15% greater fuel economy when excavating
• Longer intervals between re-fuelling for better productivity
• Increased extra-dig speed without compromising flow to
other services
• Lower noise levels for improved operator comfort
• Up to 15% reduction in carbon emissions which minimise
environmental impact
EcoDig is now standard on manual and EasyControl machines,
allowing them to reach the high efficiency standards already set
by Advanced EasyControl machines due mainly to its variable
displacement pump and flow on demand system.
EcoLoad is a package of features and options to increase
productivity and maximise efficiency when loading.
• Transmission disconnect diverts hydraulic power to the loader
arms for faster lifting cycles
• Hydraulic Speed Control (HSC) disconnects the 1st hydraulic
pump to give more tractive effort when loading
• Return-To-Dig (RTD) automatically resets the shovel to the
dig position saving time and effort
• Limited Slip Differential (LSD) automatically provides additional
traction in challenging conditions
• JCB DIESELMAX engine provides high torque backup at low
rpm to maximise traction and pushing power
• Smooth Ride System (SRS) maximises load retention and
operator comfort at higher speeds both around site and on
the road

0908
Innovation Innovation – POWER BRAKES
Continuing the theme of ‘Eco’, another package of features and
options – EcoRoad is designed to provide best efficiency and
productivity when on the road.
• TorqueLock reduces fuel consumption by up to 25% whilst
also reducing travel time by up to 10% or giving a chance to
extend working radius by up to 10%
• Hydraulic Speed Control (HSC) automatically disconnects the
1st hydraulic pump in 4th gear to reduce fuel consumption
• Power brakes gives full brake pad release to better maintain
roading speeds and contributes to a further 1% saving in fuel
• The complete JCB power train has been specifically designed
for our equipment, which ensures high efficiency and minimal
losses for best tractive effort and low fuel consumption
JCB’s already class-leading braking performance has now been
further enhanced by introducing power brakes and redesigning
the pedal position.
• Proportional braking throughout the pedal travel improving
braking effort and control
• New automotive pedal position for improved ergonomics and
operator comfort
• Full brake pad release for maintaining road speed and
improved fuel economy by 1%
• The design of power brakes also utilises the existing hydraulic
supply removing the need for a separate brake reservoir,
reducing operator costs and the number of daily service checks
The combination of EcoDig, EcoLoad, EcoRoad and Power Brakes
will provide customers with an average saving of up to 16%
when typical average duty cycles are taken into account.

How it works
Pump 3
(engine mounted)
Engine
View of transmission and pump from above.
Hydraulic oil tank Transmission
Pumps 1&2
(transmission mounted)
• Pumps 1 & 2 are mounted on the transmission (same as the
previous generation)
• Pump 3 mounts directly to the engine to provide additional
flow at lower rpm
• Optimum efficiency is achieved by setting the engine up to
1700rpm and moving the ‘ECO/LO’ switch to the ECO position
• The LCD in the instrument panel shows the hydraulic operating
mode (eco or std) and auxiliary flow setting (high or low)
Product Selling GuideProduct Selling Guide

To benefit from maximum efficiency the operator needs to
select ‘ECO’ using the mode switch, and adjust the rpm between
idle-1700. Outside of these parameters the 3rd pump is not
functional and the machine reverts back to a 2 pump system.
Selected using the ‘ECO/LO’ switch. Lo mode was previously
known as HSC (Hydraulic Speed Control) – disconnects the 1st
pump and provides the following benefits:
• Further fuel savings when roading (automatically activates in
4th gear)
• Fine control of loader or excavator for precise operations such
as grading or lifting
• Increased tractive effort – more pushing power
• ECO/LO switch used for continuous operation, this can be
intermittently overridden by a button on the loader lever

JCB 3CX VS HIDROMEK 102B JCB 3CX VS VOLVO BL71B
• Noisy cab (78db compared to 73db on the JCB) and poor
ventilation results in a less comfortable operators environment
• Lower engine torque results in reduced pushing power when
loading and poor hill climb performance when roading
• Slow hydraulic cycle times results in lower productivity when
both loading and excavating
• Poor visibility to the front shovel makes loading difficult and
less safe compared to the JCB
• High fuel usage when roading – 22% more than the JCB even
without Torquelock
• Single ram loader design results in less breakout force and
non-parallel shovel levelling – poor load retention
• Lower cab restricts visibility when working at height and
minimises room for the operator
• Slow hydraulic cycle times results in lower productivity when
both loading and excavating
• Noisy cab (75db compared to 73db on the JCB) and fewer
misdirected air vents results in a less comfortable operators
environment
• Banana/unequal size boom and dipper prevents digging close
to the machine meaning the machine has to be repositioned
more regularly

JCB 3CX VS CAT E SERIES JCB 3CX VS CASE 580 SN
• Very low ground clearance makes machine vulnerable to
damage and difficult to manoeuvre across arduous terrain
• Slow hydraulic cycle times across all excavator functions results
in lower productivity
• High bonnet line restricts visibility to the front of the machine
making loading difficult and less safe
• Poor roading ability due to poor transmission design and less
efficient CAT engine
• Banana/unequal size boom and dipper prevents digging close
to the machine meaning the machine has to be repositioned
more regularly
• High fuel consumption when excavating significantly increases
running costs ≈ 5 L/h more than the JCB
• Very narrow and low cab restricts visibility and room for
the operator
• Twin gear pump requires much higher engine rpm to deliver
the same hydraulic flow as the JCB triple pump system
• Excavator design is very heavy making the machine less stable
when operating at the side of the machine
• Loader arms have to be raised to perform daily checks and
not all check are on the same side of the machine
• Poor hose routing on whole machine makes the hydraulic
system susceptible to damage:
- Excavator arm hoses have excessive lengths and are
mounted on the outside of the boom and dipper
- Excavator hoses rub on chassis when side shifting
- Loader arm hoses perish due to tight bends

• Komatsu hydraulic system appears to be slow even when the

• Non-Komatsu power train integrated into the machine results
in poor performance and serviceability
• Generally lightweight construction, frame and chassis look to
be deficient in metal where it counts. Confirmed with in field
training as machine feels light on its wheels especially in the
front end
• Operator environment is very tight and narrow. Cab feels
cramped and very poor ergonomically
• Front loader arms are of an odd design with exceptionally long
bucket cylinders – appears a compromised design
• Sideshift model is simply a modified centremount chassis –
non-intentional design resulting in poor stability
• Antiquated front end loader geometry – single crowd/dump
ram with mechanical compensation resulting in less breakout
force and non parallel shovel levelling
• Serviceability very poor – hydraulic tank sandwiched between
engine and front of cabin making for poor access and excessive
heat build up
• Very narrow cab never intended for rear servo controls
severely compromises operator comfort
• Three-piece rear window hinders rearward vision
