JCB offers EasyControl on 3CX

JCB is offering three control options for its 3CX and 4CX backhoe loader models.

Conventional manul levers remain the most popular choice, with owner operators and Scandinavian customers generally opting for Advanced EasyControl servo controls.

The third option is EasyControl, which uses the seat-mounted servo levers, but works with the same conventional valve block as the manual levers. This mid-point option is said to give the control feeling of the servo system, with the feedback and speed of operation of conventional lever controls.
