JCB Launches The 250T Compact Track Loader

The JCB 250T compact track loader is built for landscaping professionals who need a machine that can move efficiently from site prep to finish work. Whether shaping terrain, moving materials or handling pallets of hardscape, the 250T delivers the power, control and versatility required to keep projects on schedule.

Powered by a 74 hp engine with a rated operating capacity of 2,429 lb, the 250T provides the strength needed for grading, backfilling and truck loading. Its compact footprint allows crews to work in tight residential spaces, around existing structures and in finished environments where precision is critical.

Protecting completed work is a constant challenge in landscaping. The 250T addresses this with 15.7-inch tracks and ground bearing pressure under 5 psi, helping reduce damage to turf and prepared surfaces. Operators can move from rough grading to finish work without switching machines or risking rework.

Transport between jobs is simplified with an operating weight of 9,870 lb, allowing the machine to be towed behind a 3/4-ton pickup without a CDL. This keeps crews moving between properties without added equipment or delays.

Versatility is essential on landscaping jobsites. The 250T offers standard (18.5 gpm) and high-flow hydraulics (30.4 gpm) to support a wide range of attachments, including augers, trenchers, brush cutters and grading tools, making it a dependable all-in-one solution.

JCB’s single-arm boom design sets the 250T apart. Side-door entry allows operators to enter and exit the cab without climbing over attachments, improving safety during frequent stops. The design also provides 270-degree visibility, giving operators clear sightlines in tight residential settings.

The 250T brings JCB innovation into one of the most in-demand compact equipment sizes, giving landscape contractors a machine that balances power, maneuverability and transportability. The result is a compact track loader that helps crews work efficiently, protect finished surfaces and operate with greater confidence.
