JCB 417 – specifications
Series: Other models
Build year not documented · Data origin: Manufacturer information · sources
The JCB 417 is an articulated wheel loader of the JCB wheel loader range used in builders' merchants, quarries and construction firms. The machine is meant for handling gravel, sand, chippings and excavated soil and works on stockyards where several trucks are loaded every day. Compared with the smaller types of the range it offers more bucket capacity and reach, yet stays handy enough for works yards.
The type number 417 describes a size class and is neither engine output nor operating weight. For bucket choice the bulk density of the material matters: light material such as compost or wood chips calls for a large bucket, heavy minerals for a smaller one. Such details as well as lift capacity, tipping load and engine type are given in the data sheet of the machine and may differ by year of manufacture.
JCB 419S – British wheel loader from JCB in Rocester with a 136 kW diesel engine, 10,403 kg operating weight, a 1.6 m³ bucket and a 6,970 kg full-turn tipping load
JCB (Joseph Cyril Bamford) is a British construction-equipment manufacturer based in Rocester, Staffordshire, founded in 1945 by Joseph Cyril Bamford, whose initials still form the company name today. The 419S recorded here is a wheel loader from the company's range, which alongside its well-known backhoe loaders also builds dedicated wheel loaders in various size classes.

The 419S produces a maximum of 136 kW from a diesel engine and has an operating weight of 10,403 kg. The bucket holds 1.6 m³, payload is 3,485 kg, and the full-turn tipping load is 6,970 kg.
At an operating weight of just over 10 tonnes, the 419S sits in the mid-size segment of wheel loaders, common in earthmoving, agriculture and material handling on storage and recycling yards. The full-turn tipping load, the tipping load with the articulation joint fully steered, is the decisive limit for safe work with a full bucket while cornering on articulated wheel loaders, and here it is markedly lower than the straight-ahead payload.
When buying one used, check the articulation joint and its bushings for play, since the gap between payload and tipping load shows how close to its stability limit the machine works while cornering. Before buying, it is also worth checking the bucket teeth and edge for wear, the boom and bucket hydraulic cylinders for leaks, and the diesel engine's service history.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
