This 2005 John Deere 310SG is a used backhoe loader — sometimes simply called a loader backhoe — a versatile piece of construction equipment that combines a front-mounted loader bucket with a rear-mounted digging arm, making it a staple on construction sites, utility projects, landscaping work, and general excavation. John Deere is one of the world's most recognised manufacturers of heavy equipment and agricultural machinery, with a long-established presence in the construction industry supplying machines to contractors, municipalities, and infrastructure professionals worldwide.
Power comes from a John Deere 4045T turbocharged engine producing 91 gross horsepower, with a net maximum torque of 276 lb-ft measured at 1,400 rpm and peak power measured at 2,000 rpm. The machine is driven through a 4-speed helical-cut, full-power-shift transmission with four forward and four reverse gears, reaching a maximum travel speed of 20.5 mph in both directions. The electrical system runs at 12 volts and is supported by a 65-amp alternator, while the 36-gallon fuel tank provides a practical working range between fills.
The backhoe arm delivers a bucket dig force of 11,990 lbs, rising to 12,158 lbs in the extended configuration. Standard dig depth is 14.5 ft, extending to 18.5 ft with the extendable dipper, which meaningfully expands the machine's usefulness on deeper utility and drainage work. Load height reaches 11.3 ft in standard configuration and 14.1 ft extended. At maximum load height in the extended position, horizontal reach is 25.4 ft, while reach from the swivel is 18.3 ft standard and 22 ft extended.
The front loader is equipped with a 92-inch-wide bucket carrying a capacity of 1.3 cubic yards and a breakout force of 10,210 lbs. Clearance at maximum dump height is 11.2 ft, and loader dig depth is 5.8 inches, with reach at maximum dump depth measuring 3 ft.
The hydraulic system uses a gear-type, open-centre pump flowing at 28 gallons per minute, with a relief valve pressure of 3,625 psi and a total hydraulic fluid capacity of 24 gallons. Operating weight in two-wheel-drive configuration is 13,500 lbs, with a maximum rated weight of 15,955 lbs. Key fluid capacities include a 4.3-gallon cooling system, 3.5-gallon engine oil system, 4-gallon transmission, 2-gallon front axle, and 4.5-gallon rear axle.
Transport dimensions are 23.5 ft in length and 7.2 ft in width, with a height to the top of the suspended cab of 9.2 ft and a ground clearance of 1.1 ft. The wheelbase is 6.9 ft and the turning radius is 11.8 ft. The machine is located in Manitoba, Canada, and is offered at a listed price of $34,599 USD, showing 4,163 hours of recorded use.
