The JCB 426 AGRI is a versatile wheel loader engineered for agricultural and heavy-duty applications, featuring a robust six-cylinder Cummins BTAA 5.9C engine producing 152 gross horsepower and 467 lb-ft of torque at 1,300 rpm. The machine delivers impressive bucket capacity with 2.4 cubic yards heaped and a breakout force of 31,000 lbs, making it suitable for demanding loading tasks. Equipped with twin variable displacement piston pumps delivering 69.8 gallons per minute, the hydraulic system enables rapid cycle times including 1-second dump, 4.4-second raise, and 2.7-second lower operations at 3,625 psi relief valve setting. The loader features a four-speed smooth shift powershift transmission with maximum forward speed of 23.5 mph and reverse speed of 15.6 mph, coupled with a load-sensing system that optimizes fuel efficiency and performance. Dimensionally, the machine measures 23.8 feet in length with bucket on ground, 8.6 feet in width over tires, and achieves maximum lift height of 13.7 feet with dump clearance of 10.7 feet at full raise. Weighing 14,701 kg (32,409 lbs) at operating weight, the loader provides static tipping loads of 19,407 lbs for bucket operations and 14,521 lbs for fork applications. The machine incorporates ground-level maintenance access, a spacious three-cubic-meter cab with ergonomic controls, and is available with various loader arm configurations for specialized applications. This combination of power, hydraulic responsiveness, and durability makes the 426 AGRI ideal for agricultural, quarry, and material handling operations.
