2026 JCB 290T

The 2026 JCB 290T is a new high-capacity compact track loader (CTL) positioned toward the larger end of JCB’s tracked-loader lineup. JCB announced the model as part of its 2026 compact-equipment expansion, describing it as a 74-hp machine designed to provide increased lifting and breakout performance.

The 290T uses a 74-hp JCB EcoMAX engine, giving it the power needed for demanding attachments and heavy material-handling work. JCB specifically positions the 290T as a step up in lift and breakout performance within its compact track-loader range.

Features May Include: 

• 4-hp JCB engine — provides the power for demanding digging, loading and hydraulic attachment applications.
• Vertical-lift configuration — designed for greater reach at height, making it useful for truck loading and material placement.
• Single-arm Powerboom™ — JCB's distinctive single-loader-arm design provides structural strength while leaving the other side of the machine open.
• Side-door entry — the operator can enter and exit without climbing over an attachment or underneath a raised boom.
• Approximately 270° visibility — the single-arm design provides substantially improved visibility around the machine and toward the attachment.
• Standard- and high-flow hydraulics — allows the machine to operate a broad range of attachments.
