JCB Automate is a new suite of automated features designed to improve the usability and fuel efficiency of your JCB backhoe loader.

  • Auto Pre-Heat (optional), programme your machine to automatically heat the engine block, cab and defrost the windscreen up to 30 minutes before use.
  • Auto Check, automatically carries out all routine engine checks at the start of every working day, so peering under the bonnet of your backhoe is a thing of the past.
  • Auto Idle reduces revs when the machine isn’t in use.
  • Auto Throttle returns engine speed to pre-set hand throttle position when work is resumed.
  • Auto Drive provides cruise control-type characteristics during roading.
