JCB CT260 expert review

Reviewed by Adrien E. on January 26, 2026

Overview

The JCB CT260 is a compact tandem roller built for asphalt and urban road work. With 1,200 mm drums, 12 mm shell thickness, and dual-frequency vibration, it delivers consistent finishes at an accessible price point.

Pros Strong vibration for its size, large water tank, compact footprint for city paving.
Cons Limited engine power on slopes and narrower drums slow progress on wide roads.

Efficiency

The 18.19 kW Kubota engine supports steady compaction, while 50/66 Hz vibration and up to 41.1 kN impact adapt to asphalt or base layers. A 197 L water tank minimizes refill downtime.

Usability

Clear drum visibility, simple controls, and easy daily service access prioritize practical operation over luxury.

In Comparison

Against Dynapac CC1200 and DTR75, the CT260 emphasizes affordability and straightforward ownership with competitive compaction output.

Final Verdict

A compact, value-driven tandem roller for urban paving. Not the most refined, but dependable and cost-effective for everyday asphalt work.
