With a lifting capacity of 4,200 kg and a maximum reach of 9.8 meters, the new Jcb 542-100 Agri telehandler enhances the operational efficiency of the Loadall High Lift series through three different versions. Each model is equipped with the exclusive DualTech VT dual-mode transmission
Now in their third generation, Jcb Loadall High Lift telehandlers have undergone a significant expansion to better meet the increasing demands of the agricultural sector. In this context, Jc has introduced the 542-100 Agri, a high-capacity telehandler designed with a newly engineered chassis and boom to achieve a maximum lifting capacity of 4,200 kg and a maximum height of 9.8 meters.

Maintaining the same dimensions as the 536-95 Agri, but with superior performance, the 542-100 Agri is available in three versions: Agri Super, Agri Xtra, and Agri Pro. All models feature four-cylinder DieselMax engines with a 4.8-liter displacement, delivering 130, 150, and 173 horsepower, depending on the variant. These engines use high-pressure common rail fuel injection and a four-valve-per-cylinder configuration, ensuring optimal efficiency.
A standout feature is the DualTech VT transmission, which combines a hydrostatic unit (operating up to 19 km/h) with an electronically controlled three-speed powershift that seamlessly engages at speeds above 19 km/h. This hybrid system offers the smooth control of hydrostatics at low speeds and the efficiency of a powershift for faster travel and road use.
Operators can further optimize performance and efficiency by selecting from three work modes:
- Power Mode: Maximizes machine performance.
- Economy Mode: Prioritizes fuel savings.
- Flexi Mode: Decouples engine speed from travel speed for greater control, activated via the downshift button.
Thanks to these features, the 542-100 Agri can reach the legal road speed of 40 or 50 km/h with minimal energy consumption. Additionally, its variable-displacement hydraulic pump delivers 160 liters per minute, efficiently powering work attachments.
Jcb telescopic 542-100 Agri: advanced operator comfort & stability
Inside the Command Plus cab, operators benefit from a multifunction joystick, ergonomically positioned beside the driver’s seat. A manual air-conditioning system comes as standard, while the Agri Xtra version offers an automatic climate control upgrade.
The Agri Pro variant further enhances comfort and stability with:
- Auto Smooth Ride boom suspension, reducing bounce.
- A limited-slip front axle differential, ensuring safe operation on slippery or uneven terrain.
Precision load management with intelliweigh lite
The JCB 542-100 Agri can be optionally equipped with the IntelliWeigh Lite load weighing system. Factory-installed and covered under JCB’s official warranty, this system supports up to five pre-calibrated attachments, logging both individual and total load weights per session.
Key benefits include:
- Static & dynamic weighing on the move for enhanced workflow efficiency.
- Target load setting with countdown mode, enabling precise ingredient measurement for livestock feed mixing or preventing truck and trailer overloading.
With its high lifting capacity, intelligent transmission, and advanced weighing system, the Jcb 542-100 Agri sets a new benchmark in agricultural telehandler performance.
