JCB Breaks Into New Compact Category at Farm Progress Show

JCB, a global leader in construction and agricultural machinery, launches the 109 hp 4TS Teleskid and 400T compact track loader (CTL). As the largest models in JCB's compact track loader lineup, these machines are a step up from the popular 3TS, delivering more horsepower and higher torque for farmers and ranchers tackling tougher jobs. Engineered for power, precision, versatility and safety, the 4TS and 400T redefine what compact track loaders can achieve, offering unmatched performance for those who demand more from their equipment. JCB will unveil the new machines at booth 1233 during the 2025 Farm Progress Show, Aug. 26-28.

“These machines reflect our commitment to equipping customers with the tools they need to work smarter, not harder,” said Lee Tice, product manager for JCB North America. “The 4TS and 400T were developed with extensive customer feedback, incorporating updates that deliver more power, greater reach and improved productivity. Whether you’re working cattle, clearing fence lines, moving feed or handling heavy materials around the farm, these machines are built to exceed expectations and adapt to the demands of modern agricultural operations.”

4TS Teleskid: Unmatched Reach and Precision

The 4TS Teleskid is a game-changer for ag operations looking to streamline the farmyard and maximize equipment usage. The 3TS revolutionized the industry, taking the versatile compact track loader to the next level. Now the 4TS raises the bar even higher – nearly 2 full feet higher. Featuring a 15-foot lift height and nearly 4,000 pounds rated operating capacity, the 4TS eliminates the need for a separate tractor or telehandler in many situations, providing a single machine that handles everything from stacking hay and loading feed to digging post holes, cleaning out barns and maintaining fence lines.

The 4TS is built to tackle demanding tasks on large operations, delivering unmatched versatility and performance. Its compact profile – 13,000 pounds SAE operating weight and 6 feet 10 inches in overall height – enables it to navigate tight spaces with ease while excelling in heavy-duty applications. With a 15-foot hinge pin height, the 4TS is perfectly suited for stacking, loading and accessing hard-to-reach areas. Addressing feedback from 3TS owners, the 4TS is designed to run high-flow attachments even when the boom is fully extended, overcoming a key challenge and expanding its capabilities for complex jobsite operations.

The 4TS features a newly designed low-leak valve body that prevents boom drift, ensuring materials stay exactly where you need them – even when the boom is fully extended. This design delivers unmatched precision and enhanced safety during stacking and loading applications.

“The 4TS Teleskid bridges the gap between compact and capability,” said Tice. “It’s the ultimate all-in-one machine for farmers who need to get more done with less equipment.”

400T CTL: Built for the Toughest Tasks

For operators tackling demanding jobs around the farm – like clearing brush, hauling heavy loads, cleaning out pens or moving silage – the 400T delivers power, durability and all-day performance.

With an operating weight of 12,544 pounds, the 400T is built to handle heavy-duty tasks with unmatched power while maintaining the agility expected from a compact loader. Its redesigned chassis and expanded cooling pack eliminate the need for auxiliary coolers, ensuring optimal performance during extended high-flow operations. Delivering over 40 gallons per minute of hydraulic flow at 4,000 psi, the 400T powers demanding attachments like drum mulchers with ease, making it a reliable workhorse for the toughest applications, day in and day out.

“When you need equipment that works as hard as you do, the 400T is the answer,” said Tice. “With its advanced engine and hydraulic performance, it’s a true workhorse built for farmers and ranchers tackling the most challenging applications.”

Designed for Operators, Built in America

Developed at JCB’s North American headquarters in Savannah, Georgia, the 4TS and 400T reflect years of customer feedback and industry expertise. From enhanced operator comfort to increased safety and performance, these machines are designed to deliver what compact equipment owners need to succeed in today’s demanding environments.

Both models are now available at JCB dealerships across North America, offering operators powerful new options to expand their capabilities and streamline their equipment fleets.
