JCB has unveiled striking limited-edition machines to mark its 80th anniversary.

To celebrate this major milestone in the company’s history, a total of 80 top-of-the-range machines will be produced, comprising two of JCB’s most iconic machines - backhoe-loaders and Loadall telescopic handlers.

The 40 4CX Pro Dual Drive backhoe loaders and 40 542-70 AgriPro Loadalls will come in satin black with chrome decals and JCB yellow highlights; they also feature attributes such as 80th-edition embroidered seats, carpets, decals and plaques.
