JCB 400T
The JCB 400T is JCB's largest and most powerful compact track loader ever, launched in April 2026 to break into the 100-plus horsepower class. A 109 hp 4.4L EcoMax diesel with no DPF, a 3,994 lb rated capacity, and up to 42.3 GPM of Super Flow hydraulics make it a high-production dirt and forestry machine built around the signature single-arm PowerBoom and side-door entry.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓The single-arm PowerBoom and side-entry door mean operators never climb over an attachment or under a raised boom - JCB claims up to 60% better sightlines than twin-arm machines, and the boom carries a lifetime warranty.
- ✓The 109 hp 4.4L EcoMax engine hits Tier 4 Final with no DPF, so there are no regen cycles interrupting mulching or grading work and less emissions hardware to maintain.
- ✓The optional Super Flow package delivers up to 42.3 GPM at a selectable 3,300 or 4,000 psi, putting it in true high-production mulcher and cold-planer territory.
- ✓This is JCB's biggest CTL ever - a 3,994 lb rated capacity and 12,544 lb operating weight built on a redesigned chassis and cooling system for sustained heavy work.
- ✓The cab is up to 33% larger than competitors with a heated air-suspension seat, 7-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, and electro-hydraulic joysticks with ISO and H-pattern options.
- ✓The PowerBoom on this model contains 20% more steel for extra strength, and vertical lift geometry gives clean reach at truck-loading height with a 9'6" dump height.
- ✓MyChoice settings let each operator tune joystick response and drive behavior, which fleets appreciate when multiple people share the machine.
- ✓It's built in Savannah, Georgia alongside JCB's other North American compact machines, keeping parts supply domestic.
Cons
- ✗It's a brand-new model launched in April 2026, so there's no long-term reliability track record and early adopters are effectively field-testing year one.
- ✗The 123-inch hinge pin height is modest for the 100-plus hp class - Case's TV620B and Cat's 285 both place the pin noticeably higher for loading tall trucks.
- ✗At 12,544 lbs before attachments, hauling it legally requires a heavier truck and trailer setup than most compact fleets already own.
- ✗JCB's compact-line dealer network is still thinner than Bobcat, Cat, or Deere in much of rural America, which matters more on a flagship machine you can't afford to have down.
- ✗Pricing starts around $101,000 and climbs past $114,000 equipped, right at the top of the CTL market.
- ✗The left-side door is the only entry, so parking tight against an obstacle on that side locks you out.
- ✗Resale value for single-boom machines is unproven at this size because the used market for them is narrower than for conventional twin-arm loaders.
- ✗Getting maximum attachment performance requires stepping up to the optional Super Flow package - the standard 24 GPM circuit is ordinary for this class.
