Looking at some 310 deere's, farm use rock digging, tile repair, small trees grubbed out, things of that nature. What "310" seires should i get, looking to spend less than $18,000.00. something that the pins aren't loose, oil leaks everywhere, something that would come from a good home. I have my eye on a 310 c......... Good Backhoe or not? thanks for the input!!

I have had a 310D for about a year, so far so good. I was able to get engine parts at the Ag Deere dealer off the shelf (starter, ring gear), it's 2 wheel drive, but does Ok.

We have a 310a that my dad bought about 15 years ago just to do small tile repair and odd jobs around the farm and its been very good to us. I would recommend getting an extended hoe if possible.

We have a 310c around the farm. It will do anything I need or want to do. I dont know much about other backhoes. We bought it from a landlord who took very good care of it and made us a deal on it. That being said we did drop about 6K into the shuttle a year or so back. Works good and ought to last forever no more than I use it.

For the cost of them,get a lest the D series. Again all what you need it for. We had a 310D 4 wheel Drive extend a hoe with a torque converter, not Powershift. Was never light for power, did everything in the construction work. Did have a snap ring break in finals and a hydro pump drive coppler break, only trouble we had in 10000 hrs.
