Condition

Every machine NLEQ offers, including this 2016 John Deere 310SL, is carefully tested and inspected before sale. That means buyers receive accurate and honest information on operational systems and overall readiness. While final on-site evaluations are always encouraged, this unit comes to market only after functional checks that reflect our long-standing commitment to reliable used equipment. The relatively low 1,185 hours speak to measured use and plenty of remaining service life for its next owner. The diesel engine from John Deere is known across the industry for dependable starts, steady power delivery, and robust component life when properly maintained. The 4WD driveline is checked to ensure positive engagement and traction performance, and the heated & air conditioned cab functions are verified for operator comfort in all seasons. As with all used machinery, expect normal signs of use, but also expect a work-ready 310SL that aligns with the reputation of John Deere and the standards of NLEQ.

Advantages

• John Deere Diesel: The proven John Deere diesel platform is synonymous with durability and consistent torque, giving your operators the pulling power and responsiveness needed for trenching, loading, and grade support. Familiar service points and wide parts availability help keep downtime low and maintenance straightforward.
• 4WD Traction: Four-wheel drive increases jobsite reach by maintaining traction in mud, on slopes, and across loose or uneven ground. Better grip means more confident bucket loading, smoother repositioning, and less time lost to spinning or recovery.
• Heated & Air Conditioned Cab: Cab comfort translates directly into productivity. A heated & air conditioned cab helps operators stay focused and effective in both summer heat and winter cold, promoting consistent performance during long shifts and across changing weather conditions.
• Low Hours, 1,185: Lower hours typically equate to reduced component wear and more remaining service life. For buyers, that often means fewer near-term repairs, a longer window before major service intervals, and stronger resale value down the road when the time comes to update the fleet.
• 2016 Model Year: A modern vintage with familiar ergonomics and controls, the 2016 310SL balances contemporary design with the rugged mechanical reliability that the 310 family is known for, making it a smart choice for owner-operators and fleets alike.
• Backhoe Versatility: The backhoe configuration lets one machine handle trenching, utility line installation, site prep, and cleanup. It’s an all-around jobsite staple that’s easy to transport and quick to deploy on a wide range of tasks.

Applications

The John Deere 310SL Backhoe is a versatile performer that fits a broad spectrum of work. Whether you manage municipal infrastructure, utility installation, commercial site development, or roadwork maintenance, the 310SL’s combination of diesel power, 4WD traction, and cab comfort helps crews work efficiently and safely. Use it for trenching water, sewer, electric, and fiber lines; lifting and placing materials with confidence; backfilling and compacting around structures; excavating for footings and drainage; and supporting concrete prep, curbing, and general site cleanup. The maneuverable footprint of a backhoe compared to larger excavators or wheel loaders can simplify mobilization, reduce transport costs, and cut setup time—ideal for repair crews and contractors who hit multiple jobsites in a week.

• Utility and Municipal: Quickly address emergency dig-ups, valve replacements, and service line extensions with a single machine that can travel between sites and handle diverse tasks on arrival.
• Site Development: Support small to mid-size excavation, material handling, and backfill operations without dispatching multiple pieces of equipment.
• Roadwork and Maintenance: Tackle drainage corrections, culvert work, and shoulder repairs with sure-footed 4WD stability and dependable power.
• Landscaping and Property Management: Prepare grades, dig trenches for irrigation or lighting, and load debris or aggregate with a compact, jobsite-friendly footprint.

Ownership Value

Choosing a John Deere 310SL is an investment in long-term productivity.

Parts and service support for John Deere equipment is extensive, contributing to shorter repair cycles and reliable uptime. For many owners, the 310SL’s balanced operating profile—ample power in a manageable size—means the same machine can be profitably deployed on more jobs, improving utilization rates. All of that supports strong resale value when it’s time to rotate assets. In short, this machine aligns with smart business principles: buy quality, minimize downtime, maximize output.
