Why a Telescopic Wheel Loader Matters for Farming
Not every job calls for the same reach or lift capacity. A busy livestock yard might need a compact machine that can turn on the spot in a tight shed, while grain handling or bigger bale stacks call for greater lift height and payload.
JCB's telescopic wheel loaders bridge that gap, combining a telescopic boom with a wheel loader's speed and articulated steering, so you get height and reach without losing manoeuvrability. Every model in the range is built around a central driving position, giving all round visibility whatever the job.
Compact Telescopic Wheel Loaders: JCB TM110
The JCB TM110 is the newest and most compact model in the range, built for tasks that need power in a small frame. Its 36kW (48hp) Stage V engine meets emissions standards without AdBlue, keeping running costs down, and a two-range hydrostatic transmission gives fine control at low speed and up to 30kph on the road.
Benefits of the TM110
Compact and capable: a 1,100kg lift capacity and 3.5m lift height pack real performance into a small footprint, ideal for confined yards and buildings.
Manoeuvrable by design: heavy duty articulated steering with side-shift and an oscillating centre pivot keep the JCB TM110 stable and easy to place in tight spaces.
Built for easy servicing: simplified cleaning and a virtually maintenance free design cut down on downtime.
Secure lifting: JCB's EN15000 load motion control supports secure lifting at height.

Frequently Asked Questions
A telescopic wheel loader is a machine that combines the strength and stability of a wheel loader with the extended reach of a telescopic boom. This design allows operators to lift higher, reach further, and load materials with greater flexibility than a standard wheel loader. Telescopic wheel loaders are ideal for bale stacking, loading feed, handling bulk materials, and working in large farms. Scot Agri supplies JCB’s entire range of telescopic wheel loaders from the TM110 to the TM420S.
Yes. Scot Agri stocks both new and used telescopic wheel loaders from JCB. Our new models include the latest JCB Agri telescopic loaders with advanced hydraulics, excellent visibility, and high lift capacities. We also offer a selection of approved used telescopic loaders that have been inspected by our agricultural engineers. If you are looking for a specific model or configuration, our team can help you find the right machine.
JCB telescopic wheel loaders are designed for exceptional strength, reach, and reliability. They offer powerful engines, robust driveline components, and impressive lift heights combined with a stable wheel loader chassis. JCB’s cab design provides excellent visibility and operator comfort, and the machines support a wide range of agricultural attachments. Their superior breakout force, high manoeuvrability, and efficient hydraulic systems make them some of the most capable loaders in the farming sector.
A wheel loader has a fixed front loader arm designed for lifting, loading, and material handling. A telescopic wheel loader adds a telescopic boom that can extend forward and upward to achieve greater reach and lift height. This extra reach makes telescopic models ideal for stacking bales, loading high-sided trailers, and working in tall feed clamps. Wheel loaders are better suited to continuous loading tasks, while telescopic wheel loaders offer more versatility for varied farm work.
It comes down to scale. The JCB TM110 is our most compact model, built for tight spaces and lighter lifting, with a 1,100kg lift capacity. The JCB TM180 and JCB TM220 sit in the middle, with lift capacities of 1,800kg and 2,200kg for general yard and livestock work. The JCB TM280 to JCB TM420S range is built for heavier, higher volume jobs, with lift capacities from 2,750kg up to 4,100kg. Our team can help match the right range to your workload.
Yes, JCB LiveLink comes as standard on all new JCB machines.
Hydrostatic transmission, fitted on the JCB TM110, JCB TM180, JCB TM220 and JCB TM280, gives smooth, easy control and is well suited to loader work with frequent starts and stops. DualTech VT, on the JCB TM280S, splits engine and travel speed control so you can run high hydraulic flow at low travel speed. Powershift, on the JCB TM320, JCB TM320S, JCB TM420 and JCB TM420S, is an 8-speed transmission built for pushing power, with TorqueLock locking the torque converter in the higher gears for extra efficiency.
The JCB TM180 and JCB TM220 can be specified with a towing hitch giving rear electrics and hydraulics, for loads up to 3.5 tonnes. The JCB TM280 to JCB TM420S range offers optional hydraulic and Rockinger tow hitches rated up to 15,000kg. Ask your local depot about hitch options for your model.
The range can be fitted with pallet forks, GP shovels, grain shovels and muck grabs, with the exact options varying by model. All models come with a quick hitch as standard, so switching attachments is straightforward. Get in touch with your local depot to talk through what suits your work.
Both use a telescopic boom, but they're built around different priorities. A TM telescopic wheel loader is a wheel loader first: fast, articulated, shovel-ready, with just enough telescopic reach (up to 5.45m lift height on the TM420S) to cover jobs a standard wheel loader can't. A JCB Loadall telehandler is built primarily for reach and precise placement at height, with a boom set up to extend further out as well as up, and a wider range of dedicated attachments. If most of your work is loading and moving material with occasional extra height, the TM range suits. If you regularly need to lift and place loads high or at a distance (stacking, building work, reaching into awkward spots), a Loadall is the better tool.
It's fitted on the TM280S and works as a dual power path transmission. At low travel speeds, typical of loader work, it drives hydrostatically, giving smooth, precise control and letting you run high hydraulic flow independently of how fast the machine is moving. Above a certain speed, it switches to a mechanical drive path for more efficient, lower-loss travel on the road or between jobs. In short, it decouples engine speed from ground speed, so you get fine control for loader work and efficient higher-speed transport from the same transmission.
No. The TM110's Stage V engine is specifically built to meet emissions standards without AdBlue, keeping it simpler and cheaper to run. The TM280 to TM420S range does use AdBlue (DEF), with a 29 litre tank listed in the spec. I don't have confirmation either way for the TM180 and TM220, so I wouldn't want to guess, worth checking with your local depot if this matters for your choice.
