John Deere 310a Backhoe
Model Year: 1982
First time backhoe owner, bought a 30 year old machine that needed some work, but have been proud to own it, and has really been a learning experience. Dealer seems to be able to get anything I have needed so far. The performance has been getting better and more reliable the more I repair things that the previous owner neglected. These machines are fairly simple, but the hydraulics are somewhat hard to diagnose, sometimes I'll ask questions on the web and not get very good answers, but people seem very helpful to try to help when it comes to fixing a Deere. Overall good machine for its age
Pros: Simple machine to operate.
Cons: Somewhat costly parts.
