I would sum up the 2016 JCB 550-170, based on what I’ve seen in the field and heard from operators, like this: in terms of capacity, reach, and operator comfort, it’s genuinely strong in its class; in the 10-ton range with roughly 17 meters of reach, it can play the role of a site crane, and thanks to the EcoMAX engine running without a DPF, it doesn’t wear you out on the emissions side either.
