LOUISVILLE, Ky. – JCB returned to the National Farm Machinery Show with a booth full of purpose-built equipment engineered specifically for agriculture – and a spotlight on one very special machine with a mission.
“Every piece of equipment we bring to the show is engineered for ag, built from the ground up with farmers in mind,” said Brandon Hawkins, JCB North America’s agricultural sales manager. “Whether it’s precision material handling or all-around jobsite productivity, our machines deliver unmatched versatility, durability and performance for the farm.”
See the One-of-a-Kind VetsAid Teleskid Before It Hits the Auction Block
In a rare public showing, JCB showcased its exclusive charity auction VetsAid Teleskid. This machine, hand-painted by the Monster Jam creative team, is the only 3TS-8T machine of its kind. The design features patriotic styling, inspired by VetsAid founder Joe Walsh’s father’s WWII fighter jet, and the same advanced performance capabilities found in JCB’s standard VetsAid edition. Visitors can see it up close before it is auctioned later this year through bidadoo.
Auction proceeds will go to veteran-focused organizations across the United States. The auction is part of JCB’s broader national partnership with VetsAid to support military veterans and their families. As a signature sponsor, JCB has pledged to raise $1 million through this ongoing collaboration. In addition to the auction, JCB contributes $1,000 from the sale of every VetsAid Edition Teleskid, furthering its commitment to honor and support those who have served.
First Look at the New 4TS Teleskid, Built for Power and Reach
JCB also showcased the 4TS Teleskid, a machine designed for large ag operations. This is the first time this machine will be on display in Louisville. With a 15-foot lift height and nearly 4,000 pounds of rated operating capacity, the 4TS eliminates the need for a separate loader for stacking, digging, loading and more. It is compact, powerful and built to handle demanding farm work with ease.
Engineered to run high-flow attachments even when fully extended, the 4TS expands what’s possible for a single machine on the farm.
Explore JCB’s Full Ag Lineup
In addition to the special-edition Teleskid and 4TS, attendees can explore JCB’s lineup of ag solutions, including Fastrac tractors, purpose-built telehandlers and more. All machines are designed with farmer feedback in mind and built for the way ag works today.
Visit JCB at booth 4996 in the North Wing at the 2026 National Farm Machinery Show to see these machines in person and talk with product specialists.
