The JCB 435S wheel loader has won the Power Farming magazine award for farm loader of the year 2018.

1. JCB has two different ranges – one is for the construction/ earthmoving industry and the other is designed specifically for the farm.The 435S agri loader has greater performance to allow for farm conditions. This includes increased power outputs, a powershift transmission with more speeds and direct-drive torque converter lock-up.

2. The 435S wheel loader performs well on farms with operators wanting to load and unload material quickly. This agri loader weighs 13688kg with a maximum engine power of 172kW. This turns out to be a 12.6kW (16.8hp) per tonne power-to-weight ratio.Fast cycle times are due to the powerful twin variable displacement piston pump hydraulics. The hydraulics circulate 264 litres/min making the wheel loader capable of working with large grass rakes to roll silage.The 435S wheel loader has a class leading top speed of 52kph.

3. The 435S wheel loader produces 169kW (230hp) @ 945Nm of torque at a low 1500 rpm.The latest 435S wheel loader has an updated driveline and a Cummins Tier 4F 6.7 litre engine. The previous T4i engine required a diesel particulate filter.According to Power Farming, this T4 final-compliant engine with SCR is the largest engine power offering in the market for this size loader.

4. The unique 6-speed transmission with torque convertor lock-up in every gear provides closer gear ratios for better acceleration, hill climbing and roading performance. The lock-up element eliminates losses from the torque converter for faster cycle times and improved efficiency.

5. The high torque (HT) arm design on the 435S wheel loader gives great visibility on the loader end, as well as offering parallel lift, making it ideal for multi-attachment use. Constant torque throughout the full carriage rotation provides excellent power and attachment control. Choose a HT high lift on the 435S and you can use the machine for higher loading height applications (hopper, trailer and spreader loading).

6. The 435S Wheel Loader has an intergrated rear view camera, 70dB(A) noise level, and the contractor pro with 360 LED lights.
