The newest JCB 6-tonne midi excavator
– the new 8065 RTS-t (reduced tailswing)
– which is a more safer and versatile machine, was presented at the Intermat 2009 exhibition for the entrepreneurs and rental services.
The successor of the 8060 type is the new 8065, which is JBC's most productive 6-tonne machine yet. JCB midi have long been renowned for their performance, controllability, serviceability and versatility.

The new 8065 type is based on this strong points and has a new cabin for unrivalled operator comfort and visibility. The 8065 model's power source is a new 40.5 kW (54.3 hp) Tier III Isuzu turbo engine. This and the reduced tailswing of 117 mm makes this more productive in confined areas. The new excavator offers an improved dipper and bucket tearcuts for super productivity. The max dig depth of 4,350 mm and dump height of 4,271 mm provides a class-leading dig envelope. The single-piece wraparound dipper design reduces the need for weld points, increasing durability and the easily accessible dig-end hoses are routed through the kingpost to protect against damage.

The 8065 has an improved undercarriage that has new upgraded track motors.The JCB got powerful dozing performance, excellent spin-turn performance, tracking speed of 2.9 or 5.3 km/h and has over 77 kN tractive effort. The JCB 8065 sets a new standard for cab environments by combining automotive levels of comfort and styling with excellence in excavator performance and technology. The cab or canopy is isolated from the slew frame reducing noise and vibration levels. When you choose the fully glazed cab version it is further enhanced by an isolated seat and pod structure. The cab also includes a high-backed seat and easy-to operate controls that move with the operator for an ergonomic working position and day long comfort. Air condition is optional.

The dual pilot operator controls and electronic proportional auxiliary control ensure proper operation with low and high flow fluid functions, which is very useful at field levelling works and provides more versatility to the machine. The electronic throttle control with auto idle function improves fuel economy and ease of use, yet the load-sensing hydraulics guaranties efficient and safe use of all functions.

All service points are easily accessed for convenient daily and periodical checks. Serviceability is also enhanced by the engine positioning, and service intervals are set at 500 hours for reduced downtime. To maximise the machine earning potentials the 8065 is compatible with all 3CX buckets and other JCB attachments.
