JCB 3DX expert review

Reviewed by Raul M. on September 3, 2025

Overview

Balanced, compact, and productive. The base 3DX covers daily site work; 3DX Plus focuses on value, 3DX Xtra adds load and lift muscle, and 3DX Super pushes digging performance — up to ~5.05 m depth depending on setup — while keeping service simple and uptime high.

Pros Compact frame with real loading and digging capability.
Fuel-smart DieselMAX platform, easy service access, low-fatigue cab.

Cons Limited telematics on some trims.
Still a ~7.5 t machine, so transport and access need planning.

Performance & Efficiency

DieselMAX, auto-idle, and variable-flow hydraulics keep fuel and heat down while maintaining quick cycles. Tearout forces are stout for the size, and daily checks are fast to keep uptime up.

In Comparison

Heavier and more capable than compact units, lighter and easier to move than big rigs. Choose Plus for budget work, Xtra for stronger loading, Super for deeper, faster digs.

Verdict

A no-nonsense mid-range backhoe that fits tight sites, works all day, and does not punish the fuel bill. Pick Super if your mix leans toward deep trenching and frequent backhoe use.
