You want productivity and performance, you want go anywhere compact dimensions and you want a machine that will get you into the smallest of places. Before, all this meant using a skid steer for maneuverability, a wheeled loader for lift capacity and forklift for lift height, but not anymore. the JCB 515-40 does all the tasks of these other machines and gives the versatility of a telescopic handler to a whole new range of customers.

So how does the 515-40 do all these things? One word… innovation. everything hangs on our revolutionary single spine chassis, which has its strength under the boom and wraps around the cab and engine. this allows us to position the cab lower, providing three key benefits.

First, the whole machine is low, only 5ft 11in tall. Second, to achieve that overall height, we didn’t have to shrink the cab, so there is no compromise on operator comfort. And third, cab entry is now at ground level, providing easy step in, step out access. Despite ultra-compact dimensions, the 515-40 packs a real punch. Based on customer feedback we know that you want compact dimensions and high performance. So the 515-40 delivers both, it can lift 3300 lbs to a height of 13ft 2in, and lift 1650 lbs with 8 ft of forward reach, this allows you to load a truck from one side.

the 515-40 gets you into places where no telescopic has gone before, poultry sheds, greenhouses, poly tunnels, nurseries, fruit farms, vineyards and landscaping yards. the 515-40 is the revolution we have all been waiting for.

the 515-40 gives bucket performance comparable to a skid steer or compact wheel loader. Plus, 4 individual hydraulic wheel motors and 4WS equal outstanding traction and maneuverability into and out of the tightest of corners, around pillars and through doorways. Whether you stay on concrete or take the 515-40 off road the 4WD ensure the machine is always up to the task. the hydrostatic transmission provides equal power to all 4 wheels. Add in easy operation, infinite speed control and class leading fuel economy, and you have the winning formula for power, performance, productivity and versatility.

thanks to the design of the chassis, JCB has been able to fit a full size cab while maintaining a very low height. this makes the interior spacious and the all round visibility superb. the split door allows the operator to shut out unpleasant conditions or open the top half to improve ventilation. And side access provides safe ground level entry and exit.

COMPACt LOADALLS | 515-40

JCB’s compact Loadall range brings telescopic handler performance to previously inaccessible agricultural yards and buildings. With capacities from 4000 to 6000 lb and lift heights from 13 to 18ft 6in, they are the perfect solution when working in confined spaces.

These capacities, from machines as low as 6’ 7” in height and 5’ 3” wide, make them a more versatile, comfortable and stable alternative to a skid steer loader.

Mounting the cab centrally at the front of the machine gives the operator an unparalleled view of the carriage, both at ground level and through the lifting cycle to full height and reach. The low offset boom provides excellent vision to the right hand side, particularly to the rear corner.

The cab itself offers clear step-in access, ideal for operation on a livestock farm. All controls fall easily to hand; including

single-lever command of lift and crowd functions, plus separate levers for extend retract and auxiliary functions.

The 520-40 is fitted with a 2.2-liter diesel engine producing 50hp (37.5kW). The two other models feature 4.4-liter JCB Dieselmax engines delivering 85hp (63kW). High engine output combined with low overall weight equals a high power-to weight ratio.

The engines drive through a hydrostatic transmission for simple operation and ease of handling in the most restricted spaces. Hydrostatic drive provides excellent pushing power, particularly at low speeds, as well as the ability to operate the machine using only the accelerator, ensuring smooth acceleration and deceleration and precise control in confined areas.

Modern farming demands high performance machines. Yet farm buildings are often old and place size constraints on the machine that will fit inside. The 527-58 Agri offers the perfect combination of full size performance and compact size. At 6ft 6in wide and 6ft 6in tall it is small enough to fit through the smallest doorway, yet this machine is built with all the strength and power of JCB’s full sized, side engine, Agri Loadalls.

The 527-58 Agri Loadall is built using proven JCB components. So you know that it will be robust and long lasting. From the JCB Dieselmax 100 hp turbo charged engine, the JCB axles or the JCB designed and built boom and chassis, they all add up to make the 527-58 Agri part of JCB’s longest lasting most reliable agricultural telescopics available on the market today.

The step-less transmission means the operator can accelerate from zero to 20 mph without changing gear giving rapid acceleration and productivity. For those applications where speed needs to be limited, a dashboard mounted switch limits the maximum speed available to 6 mph, aiding loader performance and pushing power, ideal for bucket work.

For controllability, the optional Vari-Speed, creep mode with hand throttle enables forward speed and engine rpm to be controlled independently, which allows the operator to control the machine speed whilst maintaining engine rpm.

The hydraulics consist of a twin gear pump producing 34 gpm, linked to a fully proportional closed centre valve block, resulting in fast cycle times with excellent flow share characteristics via the electric servo joystick.

A single boom end auxiliary service is fitted as standard (second auxiliary optional) allows the use of hydraulically operated attachments. The constant flow facility features infinitely variable flow enabling precise control of motorized attachments such as silage defacer, auger buckets, sweepers, etc.

The ‘wide core’ radiator provides excellent cooling characteristics even in the dustiest environments. Air is drawn through the cooling pack using a hydraulic cooling fan, an optional reversing fan ensures that regardless of the conditions the radiators is always clean and providing maximum engine cooling. For improved performance the optional air conditioning unit is cab mounted.

The cab gives the operator a superb working environment. All of the controls fall easily to hand for effortless operation and the analogue dials are grouped together in one cluster for easy reading, while a digital read out provides operating hours and maintenance information such as time to next service.

All of the Agri Plus, and Agri Xtra models feature a 4.4-liter turbocharged JCB Dieselmax unit developing 130 hp, the Plus specification also has the JCB 4-speed powershift transmission.

The Agri Xtra is designed for maximum productivity in all applications. Faster cycle times are achieved by using larger bore hoses, pipes and end damped rams provide smooth operation. The 130 hp engine drives through a 6-speed transmission with Torque Lock giving a maximum speed of 25 mph. The result is a machine with superb performance and productivity.

Load sensing hydraulics provide effective flow sharing, allowing simultaneous operation of loader functions for faster loading cycles. Meanwhile, a Variflo piston pump producing 37 gpm, ensures even faster loader cycle times. The variable displacement pump only supplies oil to the services on demand so oil is not continuously pumped around the system, reducing fuel consumption and hydraulic oil temperature. All this power has to be controlled. The 536 and 541 Agri machines are fitted with a single lever servo joystick that falls easily to hand. The electric servo joystick is light and easy to operate, reducing driver fatigue

536 and 541 Agri Loadalls are fitted with an automatically aligning three-mode steering system. This allows the operator to change between four-wheel ‘crab’ steer, two-wheel steer and conventional four-wheel steer, without the need to manually align the wheels. Continuous operation is tough on a telescopic handler.

The 536-60 and 541-70 all utilize the latest generation cooling system to ensure optimum performance in all conditions. For 536 and 541 Agri Loadalls a reversing fan is standard equipment. Operated from the cab, air flow through the wide core, ‘feedlot special’ radiator is reversed, clearing the chaff screen to maximize the intake of clean air.

transmissionThe 515-40 has a hydro static transmission that drives 4 motors mount at the wheels. This ensures the power is right where the operator needs it. The hydrostatic transmission fitted to the 520-40, 524- 50 and 527-55 consists of a variable displacement pump and single hydraulic motor, regulating speed and torque and transmitting high power at low speed from a compact unit. This allows continuous speed regulation simply by operating the accelerator pedal. Both hydrostatic transmissions also incorporate powerful engine braking – ideal for accurate operation in confined spaces. The inching pedal allows full use to be made of hydraulic power while precisely controlling travel speed.

The 526-56 is fitted with the four-speed JCB synchromesh transmission with, powered, reversing shuttle. Working in conjunction with an engine-mounted torque converter, a gear change lever with a transmission disconnect button allows smooth gear changes to be made on the move. Each gear is matched to the engine characteristics for maximum torque in all applications. A powered reverser allows for smooth forward and reverse gear changes to be made while moving.

The 527-58 is equipped with a step-less transmission, that allows the operator can accelerate from zero to 20 mph without changing gear giving rapid acceleration and productivity. For those applications where speed needs to be limited, a dashboard mounted switch limits the maximum speed available to 6 mph, aiding loader performance and pushing power, ideal for bucket work. For controllability, the optional Vari-Speed, creep mode with hand throttle enables forward speed and engine rpm to be controlled independently which allows the operator to control the machine speed while maintaining engine rpm.

A full powershift transmission is fitted as standard on 536-60, 541 70 and 535-95 Loadalls. Powershift enables ‘twistgrip’ gear changes to be made quickly and easily, even under load for maximum productivity, especially in heavy pushing applications such as manure loading.

The 541-70 Agri Xtra machine is fitted with a JCB six speed powershift transmission, which is controlled by an electronic control unit (ECU). When operating in fifth gear, the transmission will automatically select sixth once a pre-set speed is reached, bypassing the torque converter and giving direct drive for greater roading and towing performance.

Limited slip differentials (LSDs) prevent loss of traction in slippery conditions and ensure maximum drive to the wheels is maintained by progressively transferring up to 75% of the available torque to the non-slipping wheel automatically. The LSD is standard on the 536-60, 541-70 and 535-95 and optional on all other models. In order to improve transport performance further, 536-60, 541-70 and 535-95 Agri Loadalls are available with a four-wheel drive disconnect switch. With

the machine driving through the front axle only, transmission and tire wear are reduced. four-wheel drive is automatically reengaged when braking to maintain excellent stopping power through both axles.

hydraulicsJCB Loadalls are world renowned for their hydraulic power. This is due to the combination of pressure and flow from the pump and the boom geometry – designed to maximize power where you need it – in break-out applications, and also give you fast response during loading work.

Fixed displacement hydraulic gear pumps are fitted to the 515-40, 520-40, 524-50, 527-55, 526-56 and 527-58. This simple, reliable technology provides instant response and long service life.

The 536-60, 541-70 and 535-95 have Variflo piston pump hydraulics featuring maximum flow of 37 gallons per minute to the boom. The load-sensing valve provides an effective flow sharing system, allowing simultaneous operation of functions for faster loading cycles.

All Agri Loadalls, except the 515-40 and 520-40, are equipped as standard with a single lever, servo, joystick. The joystick is mounted to the cab and falls easily to the operators hand and because it is servo assisted it requires very little effort from the operator, reducing operator fatigue during long days on the farm.

The seat-mounted servo joystick, on 541-70 Agri Xtra, gives operators low lever effort, precise control of boom functions and improved comfort. All Agri Loadalls are fitted with a single auxiliary service as standard.

The 515-40, 520-40, 524-50 and 527-55 come standard with a multi-lever joystick arrangement: the main lever controls lift and tilt functions, while two other levers are for boom extend and auxiliary functions.

A single lever servo joystick is standard on 526-56, 527-54 536-60, 541-70 and 535-95 and optional on 524-50 and 527-55. All hydraulics services are controlled with the servo joystick, this reduces lever effort and allows proportional control of all the hydraulic functions. This system gives excellent feedback to the operator for precise, reliable operation.

smooth rideThe JCB Smooth Ride System is a unique, patented boom suspension system, exclusive to JCB Loadalls. The system works through a pair of gas accumulators mounted directly onto the lift ram, still incorporating the hose burst check valve in the system for safety. The accumulators allow the boom and load to move independently of the chassis, effectively damping the forces imposed on the machine as it travels over uneven ground.

The key benefits of SRS pare better load retention, either when handling loose materials such as feed in a bucket, or when carrying bales in a grab. Operator comfort is improved on the road and in the field, particularly over longer cycles on uneven terrain, such as traveling across rows when loading bales in the field. These benefits allow operation at higher speeds resulting in greater overall machine productivity. The Smooth Ride System also reduces considerably the forces imposed on the machine during transport and work cycles, resulting in less stress on components and even longer machine life. SRS is standard on all Agri Plus and Agri Xtra models.
