Weighing 6.7 tonnes, the JCB 65R-1 is a
reduced tail swing excavator that directly
replaces the 8065RTS.
JCB CEA Compact Equipment Product
Manager Phil Withell said: “The next-
generation 65R-1 is the perfect machine,
its specification balanced with functional,
easy to use features. The range of new
features will make every job quicker, easier
and more comfortable for the operator.”
The JCB 65R-1’s digger end is designed
to enhance the excavator’s digging and
placing performance, with improved
geometry for better lifting and loading.
With greasing intervals extended to
500 hours, the machine’s heavy duty
kingpost with re-bushable pivots optimises
durability and service life.
The new H frame design of the 65R-1’s
heavy undercarriage provides stability,
strength and rigidity, while the open-
centre design allows spoil to fall readily
from the carriage. This reduces cleaning
time when moving between sites.
A range of tracks can be specified for the
65R-1. The first machines are set to come
with 400mm Bridgestone Pro-Edge rubber
tracks, which have a rounded shape at
the tip of the embedded core-metal wing.
This shape reduces stress along the edge
rubber, which typically suffers damage
when operators run over kerbs.
“Pro-Edge gives a four-fold improvement
over tracks with conventional-shaped core
metals,” Phil said.
“The new dozer profile also enhances the
65R-1’s performance. The revised curvature
New excavator lifts midi excavator market
The new 65R-1 midi excavator is the latest model in JCB CEA’s next-generation range of
compact excavators, delivering power, durability and multi-functionality.
JCB CEA has launched its latest midi excavator, the 65R-1
of the blade improves the dozing and
material roll performance but minimises
soil retention when the blade is raised.”
The 65R-1 is fitted with a new Perkins
35.7kW mechanical injection Stage IIIA
engine, which offers two digging modes.
The machine automatically starts in Eco
mode but can be switched to heavy mode
if more power is required.
A new Bosch-Rexroth hydraulic system
improves performance, while offering
smooth, precise control and balance.
The thumb roller on the right-hand joystick
controls the hydraulic flow with
10 selectable flow rates and memory
function. Customers have a choice of dual
circuit hydraulics (high and low flow) or
just high flow double acting remotes. There
is also the option to provide combined flow
with the dual circuits providing in excess
of 145 litres per minute.
The 65R-1 is also fitted with the JCB
Auto-locking hitch, which complies
with Australian Standards and the NSW
WorkCover Position paper on hitches.
Phil said daily service work on the 65R-1 is
easier due to improved access to service
points, located beneath the new 100%
pressed-steel rear and side bonnets.
