Assessing the John Deere 310D Backhoe
At 3:15 in
What's up with all those tractors?? Let's do a walk around...and I'll tell ya!!
What happens here
The John Deere 310D backhoe, a 74-75 horsepower machine powered by a 4-cylinder John Deere engine, is inspected. It has accumulated 2200 hours of use. The presenter notes that it is generally dirty, has a severely damaged ('roached out') seat, and a loose exhaust stack. There's also a possibility that some hydraulic lines may need replacement due to its period of inactivity. Unlike the other vehicles, this backhoe is not for sale and will be kept for farm use. The presenter shows a van loaded with fluids and parts, including 'Hi-Guard hydraulic fluid,' needed to service all the acquired equipment.
Goal: Identify necessary repairs and fluids for the John Deere 310D backhoe for farm use.
