Tea-Based World First For New JCB Digger

JCB launches world's first digger with in-cab hot drinks facilities

---

Everybody loves a digger, but until now there's always been one major flaw in a digger's design - the need to get out of the cab when you want a cup of tea.

However, with JCB's new flagship backhoe loader, the 3CX Eco, those pesky trips to Costa will be a thing of the past, because the new JCB has become the world's first digger with an in-cab hot water dispenser.

So, for your £47,500 not only do you get 325lb ft of torque, a bucket volume of 1.3 cubic metres and a lift capacity of 4638kg, but you also get the capacity to make a brew while you're at it. Try doing that in a nearly new BMW M3...

The new JCB 3CX Eco backhoe loader - get it on your Christmas list now, because on PistonHeads, tea matters.

Why is it that so many small (male) children love diggers and dinosaurs?

[iain1970]

No idea, but if there's a tractor, digger, excavator or concrete mixer about, we HAVE to look at it!

I daren't show him that gratuitous image of the JCB with its legs out and breaker attached to the backhoe. He'll explode.

Becki, from Birmingham, according to the caption on the picture that JCB sent us. Not that this information is in any way enlightening...

[anonymous-user]

Is that the sort of bird that digger drivers go for then??


(i bet there were endless meetings trying to decide which model to use (female model, not JCB model;-)

"nawh, nawh, she's tooo slaggy, show us the 'ther one, awh perfect, right little minx my son, I'd have her in me cab anyday, now where did i leave The Sun.............."

Do they come with JCB branded plastic bottles, so they can hurl their piss out of the window?

Don't confuse digger men with those prossie-murdering lorry drivers.

If you haven't already, get him a Bruder digger for xmas. Got my 2yr old son the Excavator a couple of months back and he absolutely loves it. It's massive and virtually indestructible.

[PetrolAholic]

In Cab Tea Machine.... Quite possibly the biggest WANT of the year!

[Noneil]

I couldn't help noticing the video actually states it's a 4CX Eco . . .

Juts think of all those fellows phers out there who now ordered the wrong model, and are limited to COLD drinks.
