The John Deere 310L EP Backhoe and 210L EP Tractor Loader are the latest construction equipment models to undergo updates, with a focus on engine technology and other model adjustments to improve productivity and uptime, and lower daily operating costs.

The 310L EP and 210L EP feature a Yanmar 3.3L Interim Tier 4 diesel engine that delivers 69 hp. A new variable displacement hydraulic pump delivers increased flow and enhanced power management. As the engine load increases, the pump modulates flow in order to balance the power split between hydraulics and the transmission.

Additionally, both John Deere tractor loaders, the 210L EP and 210L, received a loader performance boost. Loader lift times are 26% faster due to increased hydraulic pump flow and larger diameter hoses and tubes. Loader lift capacity increased 18%, from 5,342 lbs. to 6,340 lbs.
