Advantages

• Trusted powertrain: The John Deere Diesel platform is recognized for dependable performance, strong dealer support, and broad parts availability. For owners, that means downtime is minimized and maintenance remains straightforward throughout the machine’s life.
• Four-wheel drive confidence: 4WD provides improved traction on soft, uneven, or wet terrain, helping the backhoe keep its footing when loading trucks, climbing piles, or maneuvering on unfinished sites. It’s a real-world advantage that translates into more working days and fewer delays.
• Operator comfort and productivity: A heated cab helps operators perform comfortably in cold climates and shoulder seasons. Warmth and defog/defrost capabilities support clearer visibility and less fatigue, enabling longer, more productive shifts when temperatures drop.
• Balanced performance: The 310SL’s reputation is built on its ability to handle both loader and dig-end tasks with confidence, making it a versatile machine for crews who need one unit to do more across the jobsite.
• Right-hour machine: With 2,590 hours on the meter, this unit hits the sweet spot for many buyers—experienced enough to be attractively priced, yet with considerable useful life remaining when properly maintained.
• Respected brand equity: John Deere backhoes are widely trusted across North America. That recognition often helps with operator acceptance, service support, and long-term resale value.

Applications

• Underground utilities and site work: Trenching for water, sewer, electric, and communications lines; backfilling; and compacting around service installations.
• Roads and municipal maintenance: Ditching, culvert work, shoulder repair, pothole prep, and general maintenance tasks for counties, towns, and DOT contractors.
• Residential and commercial construction: Footing excavation, service connections, grading and cleanup, and material handling around tight sites.
• Landscaping and property management: Tree planting, drainage improvements, driveway maintenance, and small-scale excavation.
• Agriculture and rural projects: Utility trenching, farm lane upkeep, culvert placement, and general farmstead improvements.
• Cold-weather operations: The heated cab supports snow-season work such as site access clearing and winter utility repairs where operator comfort is essential.

Ownership Value

For owners and fleet managers, the long-term value of a backhoe comes down to reliability, support, and utilization. The John Deere name carries weight in all three areas. Reliable diesel power reduces unexpected interruptions, while extensive dealer and aftermarket parts networks help keep maintenance schedules on track. The 310SL’s versatility lets a single machine span multiple scopes of work—digging, loading, backfilling, and light material handling—supporting high utilization across projects. The heated cab adds year-round capability, especially for northern climates, and the 4WD drivetrain helps ensure the machine can work in less-than-ideal ground conditions. These characteristics, combined with the 2017 model year and measured hours, create a favorable total cost of ownership profile for contractors who want predictable performance and a machine that holds its value in the resale market.

Why this 310SL

Not all used backhoes are equal, even within the same model line. This 2017 John Deere 310SL stands out because it pairs what buyers want most—a John Deere Diesel powerplant, four-wheel drive, and a heated cab—with a practical hour count and a market-right price. The 2,590 hours reflect a machine that has been used, not abused, and the 2017 model year places it squarely within a modern production era that many fleets target for long-term ownership. For buyers who need a dependable tool they can put straight to work on utility, site development, or municipal maintenance, this 310SL delivers both capability and value without overcomplicating the buying decision.
