The 710L backhoe loader from John Deere offers a 17-foot-3-inch dig depth, and is ideal for loading trucks, placing pipe, digging trenches, breaking up concrete or asphalt and moving materials. It meets today’s emission regulations through an EPA Final Tier 4/EU Stage IV-certified 4.5L Deere PowerTech Plus engine, providing 13 percent more net peak horsepower than the previous K-Series model. Its PowerShift transmission enables operators to travel up to 23 mph between job sites. Utilizing the sealed-switch module, operators can get an additional 10 percent craning boost through the lift mode feature. When selected, engine rpm is automatically set at 1,400, and the machine maximizes hydraulic pressure for increased craning capability. Pressure-compensated load-sensing hydraulics ensure multifunction operation. Standard ride control enables front loader hydraulic cylinders to act as shock absorbers, smoothing travel over rough terrain, helping full loads reach their destination and reducing operator fatigue. 800/503-3373; www.johndeere.com
