The JCB ICX / ICXT Backhoe Loaders are compact, high-performance machines that combine the functionality of a skid steer loader with a fully capable backhoe, ideal for contractors working in confined spaces, urban environments, landscaping, utility, and rental sectors. Powered by a reliable 2.2 L Perkins 403J-17 Tier 4 Final engine generating 49 hp (36.3 kW), these loaders feature hydrostatic transmissions for easy manoeuvrability, and their compact size (under 6 ft wide) allows them to be transported without a CDL and operated in tight access zones. The ICXT variant uses rubber tracks for improved flotation and stability on soft or uneven ground, while the ICX is available in a wheeled configuration for improved speed and mobility. Both machines offer true backhoe performance with 180° boom swing, strong breakout forces, and optional extending dipper sticks increasing digging depth up to 3.08 m (10.1 ft). Their loader arms can handle attachments such as buckets, pallet forks, trenchers, augers, and planers thanks to a high-flow auxiliary hydraulic circuit (~100 L/min). The cab is designed for comfort with intuitive joystick controls, good all-around visibility, and optional HVAC. These machines are engineered on a one-piece chassis with simplified maintenance access and long service intervals, making them ideal for multi-purpose jobsite tasks.
