| Quick Overview: | The JCB 3DX backhoe loader delivers rugged performance and cost-efficient operation. With a 37 kW (49 hp) Stage 5-430 engine, the JCB 3DX 49 HP machine minimizes fuel consumption while maintaining strong digging and loading capabilities. Built for durability, it features a heavy duty chassis, low maintenance hydraulics and advanced safety structures. In India, the JCB 3DX price starts around ₹ 35-38 lakh (ex-showroom), making it a smart investment for construction and infrastructure fleets. |
The Mahindra Earthmaster SX is a 74 HP CEV V backhoe loader engineered for powerful digging and fuel-efficient performance on demanding job sites. It has a 0.27 m³ bucket capacity, a 1.1 m³ shovel capacity, a maximum digging depth of 4355 mm, and a robust breakout force. The operating weight of Earthmaster SX is 7517 kg, and the dumpster height of 2712 mm. The Earthmaster SX gives stability and productivity on-site. It also has a fuel consumption of a remarkable estimated 4.5 litres per hour, depending on operation on site, so it is very economical for contractors and saves on fuel costs. |
