Backhoe loaders

JCB Mark I '1953–57

The machine came in blue and red livery.

In 1953, Joe Bamford developed the world’s first backhoe loader by adding a backhoe onto the back of a Major Loader - essentially a Fordson tractor with a hydraulic excavator at the rear, a Major Loader at the front and an optional cab. The JCB logo also appears for the first time.
