ZTS or CTS?
Both ZTS (zero tailswing) and CTS (conventional tailswing) variants
have their place in the market, and there is no one solution which fits
best for all. It all depends on customer preference, site preference,
and application.
Productivity can arguably be better with either option;
CTS because of the added stability, lift capacity and larger dig end,
ZTS because the operator does not need to think about what's
behind them which can speed up work in confined spaces.
On a ZTS the upper structure remains within the overall machine
width when slewing. A ZTS offers the following key benefits:
• Increased manoeuvrability
in confined spaces
• Less damage to machine
• Increased safety
• Preserves resale value
On a CTS the upper structure protrudes outside of the overall
machine width when slewing. CTS offers the following key benefits:
• Improved lift capacity
• Improved stability
• Larger dig end
Throughout 2012, starting with the 8026 CTS, you will
start to see the introduction of more CTS equivalents
of the ZTS models being offered by JCB.

Product Selling Guide
New for 2012 – 8026 CTS
Why buy one ? – Top 5 reasons:
1. Class leading lift capacity and stability
• Achieved by a low centre of gravity and conventional tailswing
• Improves productivity, versatility and operator confidence
2. Highly productive at digging, loading and grading
• Best-in-class dig end geometry for maximum reach and dump height
• Best-in-class bucket rotation minimises material spillage when loading
• Fast cycle times combined with class leading tearout forces
• Enhanced controllability with dig end geometry that cleans up to the
dozer blade
• Unrivalled visibility improves operator confidence
• Automotive styling and spacious comfortable cab reduces fatigue
3. Highly productive dozing capability
• Best-in-class tractive effort (12% more than Kubota)
• Auto kick down motors maximises best-in-class travel speed
• Short pitch tracks reduces noise, vibration and operator fatigue
• Innovative dozer design minimises material build up on blade
4. Highly versatile
• Electro proportional auxiliary option further enhances attachment
choice such as rotating grabs, tilting buckets and weed cutting buckets
• Wide attachment range includes buckets, breakers, augers and kerb grabs
• Bucket to grab changeover option
5. Low cost of ownership
• Towable transport weight reduces transportation cost
• 8% better fuel efficiency compared to 8025 ZTS
• Grouped access to routine checks and fills
• Gull wing style side/rear bonnets give excellent access to engine and
hydraulic valve block reducing maintenance costs
• ORFS hydraulic coupling technology
• IP67 electrics – dust and waterproof

Note

With the exception of the tailswing, all the 8026 CTS

improvements will be cascaded down onto the 8025 ZTS
to offer the same high level of features.

The 8025 ZTS will remain a ZTS to give the customer a choice
of either CTS or ZTS in this weight sector.
