The 2018 National Farm Machinery Show is going on from Feb. 14 in Louisville, Kentucky. And JCB (booth #4996) will be exhibiting its latest and greatest agriculture equipment. “We invite farmers from all over North America to ‘Discover the JCB Difference,’ to see how JCB agricultural machines have helped farmers be more productive and more profitable for more than 70 years,” says Ray Bingley, general manager for JCB Agriculture in North America. The following are just some of the products JCB will showcase.

Teleskid

JCB’s 3TS-8T Teleskid is a skid steer with a telescopic boom, which allows the skid steer to reach 60% further and 8% higher than other skids on the market, according to JCB. This Swiss Army knife design is also helped by the fact it can dig to a depth of three feet, so the 3TS-8T Teleskid combines the features of a forklift, telescopic handler, compact loader, and skid steer. Visitors to the JCB booth can enter the company’s “Win A Teleskid” sweepstakes for a chance to win a 12-month lease on the new Teleskid compact loader.

Telescopic Handlers

2018 marks the 40th anniversary of JCB’s Loadall agricultural telescopic handler, and there will be three models at the JCB booth. Most notably, JCB will showcase a special 40th anniversary edition of its 541-70 AGRI Pro Loadall. This telehandler features Hydrostatic and Powershift gearboxes that improve cycle times (up to 25% when handling and up to 16% when towing). The Loadall AGRI 536-60 and Loadall AGRI 526-60 will also be on the floor.
