The JCB 406 is a highly productive compact wheel loader with optimal power-to-weight ratio, making it a perfect tool carrier.

PRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE.
JCB and Kohler have produced the ultimate compact wheel loader engine.
- There are several axle options available including open diffs for for hard ground and limited slip differentials for soft, muddy terrain.
- The 100% switchable front axle diff lock option provides ultimate traction on mud and creates no shear forces, so won't damage the ground when it's not in use.
- Hydrostatic drive makes the 406 very easy to operate even for the inexperienced.

- We've used only the very finest engine, driveline and axle components on the 406 wheel loader, from suppliers like DANA and Bosch.
- The 406 benefits from a strong chassis and the best possible weight distribution; this allows for optimal absorption of external forces.
- Rear lights are recessed within the solid counterweight casting for impact protection.
