Midi CX JCB Midi CX Specifications & Technical Data (2007—2016)

Operator Environment

Front sloping bonnet for excellent forward ground visibility. Adjustable front and rear working lights, side-opening windows, cab heater, optional air conditioning, and adjustable suspension seat keep the operator comfortable. The rear-opening window slides into the roof but projects to provide rain protection for the operator. Innovative rear window design keeps the cab fully enclosed – even when the excavator is removed. Additionally, the full ROPS/FOPS cab (Category 1) offers exceptional all-round visibility. Ergonomically designed servo excavator controls and a fully adjustable seat with ergonomically positioned controls minimize operator fatigue. The mechanical suspension seat provides a comfortable operating position, and a radio location is provided as standard, along with twin speakers for stereo sound. The cab allows easy access through a single door, and the front side windows can open either partially or fully for extra ventilation. Standard features include a lap seat belt, a 3-speed fresh air/recycle heater, front and rear screen wash/wipers, front and rear horn, and exterior mirrors. The instrument panel is positioned on the right-hand side for ease of viewing from either the loading or excavating position, with engine speed and fuel gauge mounted in the panel. An air conditioning system is optionally available, providing the operator with a cool working environment when working in high temperatures.

Controls

Loader: Single lever control for loader functions with a shadowing lever for auxiliaries, positioned to the right-hand side of the operator’s seat for ease of operation. Excavator: Standard servo controls offer smooth, low effort, and productive backhoe operation, whilst reducing operator fatigue. Joystick controls are sideways adjustable to suit the comfort of the operator, and an optional ISO/SAE changeover valve is available. Stabiliser levers fall easily to hand, positioned between the excavator controls.

Lighting and Electrics

12 volt direct electric starting with 65 amp alternator and standard thermostat aid. Heavy-duty harness with secured sealed connectors for protection against both water and dust ingress. The connectors conform to IP69 standards. Standard battery 680 CCA low maintenance. Ignition and working lights control switches are mounted on the side control panel. Also incorporated in the central control panel are the hour meter and warning light cluster, which includes a warning buzzer to draw the operator’s attention to malfunction. Fuses are located in a protected compartment at the rear of the cab.

Engine

50hp (37.3kW) naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine Tier 3 compliant engine 60-litre fuel tank for reduced refuelling and day-long productivity Pannier-mounted fuel tank for easy refilling

Transmission

Hydrostatic transmission with two speed switch, giving zero to maximum travel speed, both forward and reverse at full power. Operated by a simple forward/reverse lever located under the steering wheel, the speed of the machine is governed by how far the accelerator pedal is pressed. The transmission also acts as the primary braking system. Travel speed forward: 0-28kph (17.4mph) Travel speed reverse: 0-28kph (17.4mph)

Steering

Full power hydrostatic system utilising the variable displacement pump via a steering priority valve. In the event of engine failure, emergency steering is maintained.

Hydraulics

A variable displacement pump is mounted on the main hydrostatic pump, which in turn is mounted directly to the engine. The variable displacement pump supplies oil to steering, excavator and loader services and returns to tank through a full flow filter.

Loader

Mechanical quickhitch for fast changeover of attachments. Skid steer-compatible pick-up gives access to a wide range of attachments. Anti-spill mechanism to retain load when raising. Optional auxiliary hydraulic circuit operates an array of attachments.

Excavator

Equal length boom and dipper maximises trench length with less repositioning of the machine. Narrow boom and dipper gives superb visibility, enhancing operator safety and performance. Rams and hoses are concealed within the boom for increased protection. Quick release mechanism allows the removal of the excavator within minutes to become an industrial tractor loader. Servo controls for fingertip control and ease of operation. Single and bi-directional auxiliary circuit powers a wide range of attachments.

PTO And 3-Point Linkage

Category 1, 3-point linkage and 540rpm PTO – the universal standard 1420kg capacity at lift point makes light work of the heaviest attachment. Link arm drop rate control for different weight attachments. Creep speed control lets you set the travel speed independently of PTO speed. Optional rear tow hitch.

Rear Hitch

Hitch lift arms have a lateral float which allows the draft arms to raise and lower slightly, independently of each other to ease hook-up of rear implements on uneven ground. This feature helps rear implements to follow ground contours, avoiding implement damage when operating on uneven ground. Sway bars have pin adjustment to regulate side-to-side sway of the implement. The link drop rate is controlled by an adjustable valve, allowing the operator to adjust the lowering speed of the lift arms to suit the weight of the implement. Additionally, creep speed control allows the transmission speed to be set independently of the PTO speed, ensuring maximum hydraulic PTO power and slow travel speed.

JCB Smooth Ride System (Optional)

The JCB Smooth Ride System (SRS) consists of a dry nitrogen and oil-filled accumulator installed in line with the loader lift cylinders. When activated, the Smooth Ride System allows the loader arms to float, counteracting variations in road and site surfaces and providing the operator with a smooth ride. The JCB Smooth Ride System is manually controlled via a rocker switch on the instrument panel, offering maximum benefit and user flexibility.

Brakes

Brake pedal applied, oil-immersed multi disc inboard brakes with split pedals and independent braking. There are 3 discs each side for the service brakes. When the service brake is applied, the transmission will automatically slow down, giving a more positive brake feel.
