Eastern Arkansas | I bought 4 310 this year. Traded 4 John Deere 8310R in. 2013 was the first year for them. I would look for a later model one. They have made quite a few upgrades. Supposedly the 15 and up have better electronics. Mine have the suspended front axle it is worth getting. Rides as good as a John Deere ILS. And a lot simpler.
So far I have been impressed. Everything I need and nothing I don’t. It is a little rougher finish in the cab, but the massive cab makes up for it. I like the field cruise, set it at 1800 rpm and it increases fuel as load increases to try and keep it there. It makes peak power at 1800 so there is no nead to run it higher.
The controls take a little getting used to. They are not very intuitive.
The transmission is a Univance. Shifts a little rougher than Deere but not much. It’s supposedly a copy of the Deere transmission.
As far as power, the 310 will smoke an 8310R and will run with an 8360R no problem.
I got 5 year warranty and got into them cheap. I have a very good dealer and am not worried about keeping them going. Time will tell how they hold up. | |
