“Teleskid” Review: JCB’s CTL with Telescopic Mono-Boom

JCB became the first to launch a compact track loader with a telescopic boom, calling it the “Teleskid.” On this episode of The Dirt, host and professional operator Bryan Furnace went to JCB headquarters in Savannah, Georgia, to test out and review the 3TS-8T, the largest Teleskid in the company’s lineup. The result, he says, is a “pretty stinking fun machine to ride on.” So how does it stack up to a traditional CTL? Bryan says he found many things to like about the Teleskid in comparison to the standard compact loader. The first obvious difference is the mono-boom, which can reach out 8 feet and to a height of over 13 feet. Concerns about balance and stability were quickly dispelled. And he found a lot of other benefits to the unique design. Here are a few quick specs: Operating capacity: 3,695 lbs. retracted/1,600 lbs. extended Operating weight: 12,615 lbs. Engine: 74 hp Putting the 3TS through its paces in dirt and muck with bucket and mower, Bryan came away with the conclusion that it’s “a really great machine.” So to find out what it’s like to operate JCB’s largest Teleskid and watch it in action, check out the latest episode of The Dirt.

Welcome back to Equipment World. You're watching the dirt. I'm your host, Bryan. And today we're here to talk about the JCB 380. If you're not familiar with the JCB nomenclature, that is their largest telescoping skid steer, and it can telescope out to a reach of eight feet, believe it or not. And it's a pretty stinking fun machine to ride in. Bryan Furnace So I spent about two hours in Savannah, Georgia, putting this machine through its paces. And as you walk up to the machine, one of the biggest things you'll see right off the rip is it only has a mono boom. There is no second boom section on the driver's side of the machine. It is a mono boom that has the ability to telescope. Bryan Furnace And that is I'm gonna I'm going to be honest with you, it's a little funky to walk up to you the first time. Bryan Furnace But as you continue to walk around the machine, the second thing that sticks out to you is the visibility from looking in the cab. You can see every aspect of the cab from the boom side of the machine. If you think about a traditional skid steer, you can't see that well into the cab from the sides of the machine because you have two giant boom arms, one on each side, and there's just no visibility. Bryan Furnace The mono boom on this machine sits low enough that when it's down and it's stored position, you can see perfectly clear through both sides of the machine. It's fantastic. The next thing you're going to notice is you get into the machine, is how stinking easy it is to get into the machine instead of giving yourself up over a bucket that's either covered in dirt or mud or quite possibly, you have an attachment on making it even more difficult to get into the machine Bryan Furnace With the JCB three times you literally open the door, climb over the track and get into the cab. It's not that different from getting into a car. It's very simple. And then that's when the visibility for you as an operator really sets in, because you have perfect visibility all the way around the machine. The engine in the back is low enough, and you don't have a torsion bar that you've got phenomenal visibility out of your rearview mirror. Bryan Furnace I think I looked at the backup camera maybe three times during the entire time I was operating. It was easier for me to use the rearview mirror because the visibility is just that good out of the back of the machine. The one downside I can see to the man over from a visibility standpoint is I have to lean way over here to be able to see the right corner of my bucket. Bryan Furnace which, you know, 90% of the time that's not a big deal whatsoever. I can read, but the rest of the bucket. But if we were in tight gear house or something, and you really needed to know where that corner is, that model does make that a little difficult. But, you know, it's a skid steer. You're going to make sacrifices one way or another.
