Tier 3 engines are only applicable for engines 225 ? kW < 450 (300 ? hp < 600)

Controls

Backhoe control is adapting to be easier to use for less experienced operators. Manual control still exists - it gives you the most level of control - like manual gear shifting. JCB has some new servo controls - for example those operators who have experience with excavators. Servo controls are more suited to the operator with less backhoe experience (who is more likely to have learned on excavators and minis). These servo controls are also called Pilot controls be Case.
