John Deere Celebrates 50 Years of Backhoe Loaders
John Deere is celebrating 50 years of backhoe loaders, a history of innovation and excellence that first
started with the introduction of the JD310 model in 1971.
Since the 50-horsepower JD310 entered the market, John Deere has continued to evolve its
backhoe lineup, building upon the original design to meet changing customer needs.
" This anniversary celebrates half a century of reliability and providing customer value stemming
from the introduction of our backhoe lineup in 1971, " said Brian Hennings, product manager, John
Deere Construction & Forestry. " We are proud of the advancements we've made to our backhoe loader
line in the last 50 years and are committed to providing our customers with continued innovation. "
Today, 310L, the latest generation of the original model, remains a cornerstone within the John
Deere backhoe lineup, as a result of continuous improvement to the design and efficient performance.
Additional models, such as the newly redesigned 310SL machine allows operators to be 16%-percent
more productive in trenching applications over the previous design. Now with pressure-compensated
load-sensing (PCLS) hydraulics, the 310SL provides better multifunctioning, smoother machine control
and up to 15%-percent greater craning capacity.
Introduction in 2012, the 310L EP continues to deliver exceptional value with the redesigned
powertrain, which includes a synchromesh manual transmission and a more basic operator station.
The 310L EP also features a Yanmar 3.3L engine that complies with Environmental Protection Agency
FT4 emissions regulations.
As a commitment to the next generation of backhoe loaders, John Deere has begun joint-testing
its first-ever battery electric backhoe loader with National Grid, an electricity, natural gas and clean
energy delivery company. Aimed at lowering its carbon footprint and promoting sustainability, the
Deere E-Power backhoe loader targets the performance of a 100-horsepower 310L diesel-powered
machine, but with zero tailpipe emissions.
To help customers celebrate the 50th anniversary at home, John Deere has created a replica toy
model of the original JD310 backhoe loader. Available for purchase in late summer, at johndeerestore.
com/, each model will feature a unique 50th anniversary icon to showcase the important milestone.
