Loadall cab gains touchscreen

Sitting alongside the Fastrac 6000 and some new Loadall models, JCB was previewing a new cab on the 526-60 and 530-60 which will go into production in Q2 next year.The overall dimensions are the same as the current design, the big change is in the instrument panel with many of the button controlled functions now being operated by a new 7-inch touchscreen. Not only does this free-up space for additional storage, it gives greater control over functions such as the light and hydraulics which are accessed through a menu structure. The updated cab also coincides with the telehandlers being homologated as tractors.
