Technical Description
The JCB TM 300-52 wheel loader is a robust and versatile machine combining the capabilities of a traditional wheel loader with telescopic reach, ideal for heavy-duty material handling and lifting applications. It features a turbocharged, charge-cooled 1104C-44TA 4-cylinder engine delivering 121.4 hp gross power at 2000 rpm and 110 hp net power, optimized with 320 lb-ft of torque at 1400 rpm. The loader offers a bucket breakout force of 7,630 lbs (3,461 kg) and a heaped bucket capacity of approximately 1.4 cubic yards (1 m³) with a 7.6 ft (2 m) wide bucket. Its maximum hinge pin height extends to 17.9 ft (5 m), enabling high lift and effective dump clearance of 13.5 ft (4 m), with a reach at max lift and dump of 3.6 ft (1 m).
Dimensionally, the TM 300-52 has a ground clearance of 1.5 ft (0.46 m), overall length with bucket on ground of 21.8 ft (6.6 m), wheelbase of 8.3 ft (2.53 m), and width over tires of 7.5 ft (2.29 m), with a turning radius of 7.1 ft (2.16 m). Operating weight is 17,772 lbs (8,061 kg). The hydraulic system is powered by a twin gear pump with a flow capacity of 31.8 gal/min (117 l/min) and relief valve setting of 3,336 psi, supporting efficient hydraulic functions with a hydraulic fluid capacity of 29.1 gal (110 l).
The transmission is a 4-speed powershift with equal forward and reverse speeds up to 21.8 mph (34 kph), supported by a 12 V electrical system with 100 A alternator capacity. Fuel capacity is 26.5 gal (98 l) with fluid capacities for cooling, engine oil, axles, and transmission appropriately balanced for operational reliability. The loader rides on 17.5x24 tires suitable for varied terrain and application demands. This machine suits agricultural, construction, and material handling roles where lift height, breakout force, and load capacity are critical.
