The JCB JS130 LC tracked excavator is the most common model in the used 13-tonne excavator market in the UK. It helps to be able to be transported by a 26-tonne, 3-axle truck, rather than relying on a low loader to get to site. There are typically more JS13 LC advertised here than any other model of JCB. At the 13-tonne operating weight, this comes as no surprise as they are as welcome on the farms as they are on the contraction sites of the UK. The 81kW engine in the latest models is the JCB EcoMAX 444 TCA. This engine is claimed to be 10% more effiecnt than the Tier 3 unit it replaced in the earlier model. JCB no longer market the JS130 – it has been replaced by the 131X LC. The fully-welded X-frame construction of the undercarriage lends long-term durability with the turret welded to both the upper and lower undercarriage frame.
