Advantages

• John Deere diesel power: Backed by the brand’s reputation for durability, the John Deere diesel powerplant is built for long service intervals, strong torque, and efficient performance under load. In daily use, that means confident starts, steady digging power in tough soils, and fuel economy that helps control operating costs across the life of the machine.
• Heated & Air Conditioned Cab: Climate control is more than a convenience—it’s a productivity booster. Heat keeps operators comfortable in cold months, while AC combats summer heat and dust, helping maintain alertness and reducing fatigue over long shifts. A comfortable operator tends to be a safer and more productive operator.
• 4WD drivetrain: Four-wheel drive enhances traction on challenging surfaces, from loose jobsite gravel to wet topsoil and uneven terrain. With 4WD, you can maneuver confidently, load from stockpiles with less wheel slip, and keep working through changing weather and site conditions instead of losing time waiting on ideal ground.
• Proven 310SL platform: The John Deere 310SL is widely supported with parts, service, and a large knowledge base in the field. That translates to easier maintenance planning, better support from dealers and independent shops, and strong residual value when it’s time to update your fleet.
• Balanced performance: The 310SL’s design emphasizes smooth hydraulic control and stable handling, helping operators trench accurately, load efficiently, and transition between loader and backhoe duties with minimal downtime.

Applications

The John Deere 310SL backhoe is a versatile choice for contractors and public works teams who need one machine to handle multiple tasks. Common applications include utility trenching and backfilling, water and sewer installs, site preparation and grading, road and sidewalk work, curb and gutter projects, material loading and stockpile management, light demolition and cleanup, and landscaping and property maintenance. On municipal and utility projects, the 4WD drivetrain keeps the machine productive across mixed surfaces, while the heated and air conditioned cab allows crews to work year-round. In private construction, the 310SL’s compact footprint relative to its capability makes it a practical pick for suburban jobsites and tight access areas where larger equipment can be inefficient. For operations that require specialized attachments such as breakers, thumbs, or augers, auxiliary hydraulics are often a key consideration; please contact us to confirm the current configuration on this unit or to discuss options.

Ownership Value

Owning a John Deere 310SL backhoe delivers value across day-to-day operations and long-term fleet planning. Diesel efficiency and proven John Deere build quality help manage operating costs, while the availability of parts and service keeps maintenance straightforward. The climate-controlled cab supports operator satisfaction and retention—benefits that matter when you’re managing multiple crews and tight schedules. With 4WD, you gain a margin of capability that reduces weather-related downtime and jobsite limitations, helping your team finish tasks on schedule. Resale value is another advantage: the John Deere name, combined with the 310SL’s market demand, typically supports strong residuals, which can lower your total cost of ownership over multiple years. In short, you’re investing in a backhoe that works hard today and maintains value for tomorrow.
