overview:

The 2017 JCB JS220 is a powerhouse in the 22-tonne class, celebrated for its "Efficient Design" which provides a balance of high performance and low operating costs. It is powered by the JCB Eco MAX 448 engine (Tier 4 Interim compliant), delivering 173 hp (129 kW) without the need for a heavy Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), which simplifies maintenance and improves visibility. With an operating weight of approximately 22,060 kg to 22,490 kg, the 2014 model typically offers a bucket capacity of 1.02 to 1.25 cubic meters and a maximum digging depth of 6.60 meters. It features a massive bucket tear out force of 155 kN and a reinforced "X-frame" undercarriage for long-term durability. Operators benefit from the 70/30 front screen split for superior visibility, a spacious cab with a 72dB internal noise level, and the Plexus Oil Filter System, which extends hydraulic oil life to 5,000 hours by filtering contaminants down to 2 microns
