We have one size bigger, the 410 4x4, full cab. They are about as versatile as a machine can be. If you spend any time with it, you might end up wanting one...

great rental, you knocked the new off it..

Fifteen years ago I worked at a potato packing plant and the owner also owned the farm land around it. One day we get a new 310 backhoe. I had owned a farm before and have a JD 510, I wanted to try it out so I started driving around the parking lot. As I started out the gate toward the highway my mind went blank, I couldn't stop it. It did not have a clutch or inching pedal so I tried to pull it out of gear, that didn't work. I couldn't find the throttle or ignition switch, just before I went out into the highway I stood on the brakes as hard as I could and it stopped. I found the reverser and backed my way back into the parking lot. I then memorized all the ways to stop that thing. I had not fully learned the controls before I started so I did not realize that there was a transmission disconnect button on the gearshift lever plus one on the bucket control lever. And of course the reverser has a neutral position as well as reverse. I couldn't think of none of that. I was only 52, by the time I was 56 I could no longer work. I am doing OK and can do small tasks, just don't ask me to think quick or do anything complicated.

Sweet little Ride..!!! I flew a Beechcraft Kingair 200 for the R W Moore John Deere dealer in Garner N C in 1999. 👨‍✈️🛫😎

LMFAO.... " Bungee cords holding it together" truest thing I've heard about rental equipment

I want one of those so bad. For a rental, it looks brand new!

Nice Deere new Bakhoe rental good for the job Chris 🎅🎄🎍

That's what I did for my living , I owned an Equipment Rental Company. So I know what you mean and pieces of crap given to you. This is exactly what we DID NOT DO, in our Company. I learned from the garbage that some of my competitors rented to their customers. This is why my business did well. I'd like to see that 310L in about another year .

Once you get the stone spread it will ride nice and smooth.

That lil thing is awesome

just a suggestion the company i work for got a track dump machine. that thing is awesome we do allot of septic systems and sewer work. not a keyboard operator just making a suggestion. I'm a huge fan

Nice machine!

Pieces of equipment are like women. They're all nice when they are new.

Nice rental !

Wish we had got a brand telehandler when we rented one from that company

Ahern typically sends out decent equipment. I've never had a problem with them sending out old pos

That MUST have been a pleasant surprise when it showed up on the job. No complaints there, huh?

load back bucketas well. a lot to haul.

I miss running a backhoe

I'm a JD fan.

HI Chris That machines nice as in being new, but a typical Deere just like some of the older 70's and 80's tractors with the one door cab. They put shit right in the line of sight to look at all day. A cab side post muffler, and regular crowd cylinders on the boom sides like a lot of other machines. would make the forward view way better than it is now L.O.L. I hate running loaders in lower buildings with that center cylinder poking up, a guys got to be so careful you don't mangle stuff in the roof. With regular rams the bucket tops the highest point,and easier to judge better I find .

it's a shame there's no forward tipping dumpers in the USA. I. guess you know what I'm talking about but they are very useful here in England. they can carry up to 9 tons metric and can turn their body through 90°. easy for hauling short distances and backfilling trenches. I like your videos man, interesting stuff. 👍

I would like to have a four wheel drive john deere backhoe like this one for my dad.

Looks really nice. Is that model something that you would buy for yourself if you were going to get one?

So, when are you getting your 950 Volvo and the big loader?

next on investment list, a wheelloader? ;)

How’s the AC keep up with that new tier 4 heat That it puts off

@letsdig18 in England we don't use skids a lot we be using possibly a 6 ton forward tipping dumper and 8 ton excavator/jcb 3cx but I see a lot of guys in the us use skids and things along thoughts lines and I really don't like the us style backhoe because they don't have side shift on the backhoe

Just curious, why not use a track dumper?

I dont know the new JD numbering system. I worked with a 510B with external hydraulics for the shaker and impactor and a 510C extenda-hoe. The C could reach down 22 feet so that was impressive unless it was you that was in the ditch

My uncle just bought one of those the other day. His only had 1 hour on it

Get a Caterpillar E or F model with the IT package and you'll forget about them case and Deere's.

How many pieces of equipment do you own

Why is half the rate of a skid steer loader?

I bought a John Deere 310c backhoe a couple years ago. its a 90s model but still runs like a top. i wonder what the c and l stand for?

would you ever buy john deer backhoe

I don't like the center cylinder on the front bucket!

that trail would suck to go up and down 100 times in a bobcat as rough as it is

@letsdig18 someone uploaded the same video

Other types have two laying cylinders thats better

I love the backhoe, but hell, why put the dump cylinder right in the center? I know it's not completely obstructing your view but it still bugs me.
