8029 CTS Compact Excavator

The JCB 8029 CTS compact excavator is JCB’s first-ever conventional tailswing machine in the current 2.5-3.5 ton class. It’s one of the largest excavators you can tow behind a 3.5 ton vehicle with a transport weight of 2.7 ton. In many ways it’s similar to our 8025, but it’s been uprated in key areas.

This JCB compact excavator power is provided by the new Perkins 400 series Tier IIIa, a transverse 32.7 hp/24.3 kW motor that delivers 96kN of torque at 1800 RPM. A tailswing of 18.5 inches (470 mm) more than the 8025 ZTS, combined with a very low center of gravity, provides a 19% greater lift capacity than the market leader.

At the 8029 CTS compact excavator’s dig end, our box-fabricated boom and dipper is capable of 9′ (2.74 m) dig depth, 15’8″ (4.77 m) reach and 10’7″ (3.22 m) dump height. Fantastic bucket rotation and class-leading tear-out forces mean incredible productivity. You can easily attach hammers, compactor plates and more for added versatility.

A brand new undercarriage uses 3 bottom rollers, 1 top roller, plus heavy duty track idler guides and grease tensioners.

And, this is just the beginning of the JCB 8029 CTS compact excavator’s benefits.

• 19% greater lift capacity than the market leader
