The JCB 407B is a compact wheel loader engineered for versatility in confined job sites and diverse applications. Powered by a 4-cylinder Kohler diesel engine producing 65 gross horsepower (48 kW) at 2,000 rpm, this machine delivers 183 lb-ft of torque at 1,200 rpm for efficient low-speed operation. The hydrostatic transmission with two forward and reverse gears provides intuitive control, reaching maximum speeds of 12.5 mph in both directions. With a 1 cubic yard heaped bucket capacity and breakout force of 9,923 lbs, the 407B accommodates various attachments through its hydraulic quickhitch system. Key dimensional attributes include a compact 16.3-foot length with bucket on ground, 5.6-foot width over tires, and a tight 12.9-foot turning radius, making it ideal for maneuvering in confined spaces. The hinge pin reaches a maximum height of 10.2 feet with 9.8 feet of lift height, providing 8.2 feet of dump clearance. Hydraulic capabilities include a 17 gallon-per-minute pump flow capacity at 3,190.9 psi relief pressure, supporting a 22.5-gallon system reservoir. The machine maintains a fuel capacity of 26.5 gallons and features articulated steering with ±40-degree oscillation for enhanced maneuverability. Static tipping loads reach 6,644.8 lbs with the bucket and 4,850.2 lbs with forks, ensuring stable load handling across variable terrain applications.
