JCB unveiled the 370X tracked excavator, the latest model in its X Series.
According to the company, the 370X is JCB’s biggest and most powerful tracked excavator model yet. The heavy-duty excavator will bring its productivity, durability and reliability to the 35- to 40-ton sector.
The 370X offers the ability to move 18 tons more material per gallon of fuel versus competitive models, JCB says. The excavator features a 322-hp Cummins diesel engine, as well as a new JCB UX user interface with a 10-in. color touchscreen display and controls.
Other 370X features include increased hydraulic pressures that boost performance in hard digging; extended service intervals for improved total cost of ownership; and an upgraded undercarriage and heavy counterweight for maximum stability.
“With the introduction of the 370X, JCB takes yet another step forward this year in our goal of providing a comprehensive range of heavy equipment solutions for the construction industry,” says Sam Wagstaff, products manager at JCB North America. “At this end of the excavator market, contractors know they need strong, powerful machines with the latest technology to get the big jobs done on time and on budget. The JCB 370X excels in these attributes while lowering total cost of ownership and providing operators with a cab that keeps them comfortable and productive over the course of long days and challenging applications.”

The JCB 370X is powered by a 322-hp Cummins L9 diesel engine that is Tier 4 Final compliant. JCB says the engine delivers maximum power within a reduced operating rev range to increase fuel economy and reduce overall noise levels.
The 370X is supplied with a 21-ft. monoboom, with a choice of 8.6-ft., 10.6-ft. and 13.2-ft. arms. Heavy-duty arms have additional crush bars and reinforcement for strenuous applications, JCB says.
Additionally, JCB increased the bucket pin diameter, and the machine can be fitted with a new JCB dual-pin coupler to pick up 3.53-in. or 3.93-in. attachments. New 2.75-cu.-yd. XHD and 3.2-cu.-yd. XHD buckets are also available.
