Enhanced cooling package
employs oil-to-water hydraulic
and transmission coolers.
Fewer stacked cores allow
faster cold-weather warm-up,
less plugging, and simplifi ed
cleanout.
Total Machine Control (TMC)
option features industry-
exclusive in-the-armrest
joysticks for smooth
fi ngertip control, exceptional
fatigue-beating comfort, and
enhanced productivity.
State-of-the-art multi-
function monitor with
easy-to-read messaging,
large analog gauges, and
LED warning lights gives vital
operating info at a glance.
Tier 3-certifi ed PowerTech™
wet-sleeve diesels deliver
power without compromise
and long-term durability.
Tool carrier with quick-
coupler boasts increased lift
capability and best-in-class
work-tool visibility — plus
set-and-forget parallel lift,
return-to-carry, and boom
height kick-out. It’s available
on either TMC machine.
Worksite Pro™ top-hook coupler allows
quick and easy single-pin bucket changes.
Accommo dates 12-, 18-, and 24-inch
heavy-duty buckets.

Optional limited-slip mechanical-front-wheel
drive delivers 80 percent of available power
to the wheel with the best traction. Engage it
“on the fl y,” for true all-wheel drive when and
where you need it.
Curved-knee loader-boom design enhances
visibility and provides superior reach, easily
dumping to the center of the truck. For fuller
loads, faster.
Whether you’re loading trucks, busting up blacktop,
picking pipe, digging deep, or moving materials,
J-Series Backhoes are more than up to it. Powerful
and quick high-pressure hydraulics deliver generous
breakout and lift capacity at both ends, along with
impressive backhoe crowd power and swing torque.
Excavator-style hydraulics smoothly blend functions,
so your operators won’t have to work hard to be more
productive. The standard PowerShift™ transmission
is also easy to operate, offering smooth, on-the-go
clutchless shifting. Delivers faster acceleration, higher
transport speed, and better hill-climbing capability, too.
No other backhoe lineup offers a similar combination
of power, speed, and ability.

Extendable dipperstick adds digging depth,
reach, and ability. Outer-box design grasps
objects such as concrete slabs between the
bucket and gripper teeth while extending or
retracting. For easier loading into trucks.
J-Series Backhoes provide
the swing-torque, boom, and
dipperstick lift capacity needed
to crane heavy objects.
All front and rear attach-
ments are interchangeable
with those from previous
John Deere backhoes.
High-pressure hydraulics
deliver smooth response,
superior combined-function
metering, and low-effort
control regardless of the
load or application.
Rearward-angled, box-
constructed stabilizers and
no-drift cylinders ensure
rock-solid stability.

Armrest-mounted controls
enable TMC backhoes to be
operated with the seat rotated
up to 90 degrees from the
rear position. For those times
when you need to focus on the
action beside you.
Choose the backhoe hydraulic
speed you need. Fast for up to
20-percent quicker cycle times.
Medium for normal digging.
Or slow for craning objects,
working in confi ned spaces, or
excavating around existing utili-
ties. Controls deliver the same
low-effort, consistent response,
regardless of hydraulic speed.
With auto-idle, momentarily
releasing the joysticks slows
engine speed, reducing fuel
consumption and noise.
Preset speed automatically
resumes when a joystick is
activated.
Backlit pushbuttons in the
sealed switch module allow
fi ngertip control of various
functions such as return-
to-dig.
Go from backhoe- to
excavator-style controls
at the push of a button.
Adjusting hydraulic fl ow
when changing attachments
is also pushbutton easy.
Want maximum productivity with minimal effort?
Add the TMC package to a 310SJ or 410J
Backhoe. You’ll enjoy intuitive, effortless fingertip
control — and up to 20-percent faster cycle
times. Joysticks respond easily to an operator’s
touch, for quicker, smoother control of loader
and backhoe functions. Controls are conveniently
located in the armrests, so you can even
operate the backhoe while facing to the side.
Fatigue-beating joysticks pro-
vide smooth, intuitive control
of auxiliary loader attach-
ments, extendable dipperstick,
backhoe auxiliary attachments,
hammer, MFWD, and horn.
Need to reposition quickly or
get unstuck? Mini-joystick lets
you run the loader and backhoe
simultaneously without removing
your hands from the joysticks or
swiveling the seat.
There’s also a unique mini-joystick that lets you
run both loader and backhoe simultaneously
without removing your hands from the controls.
Joystick switch provides
fi ngertip control of hydraulic-
powered attachments. Toggle
on and off, or push and hold for
momentary control. Armrest-
mounted switches operate the
stabilizers.

simply unparalleled.
John Deere backhoes are already highly capable
machines. Opt for a tool carrier on a TMC-
equipped 310SJ or 410J and take versatility
to an even higher level. With the most accurate
leveling system available on a backhoe loader,
you’ll have all the fi nesse you need to get more
done. Unlike mechanical loader linkages, exclusive
electrohydraulic parallel-lift employs fewer parts,
so you’ll spend less time on maintenance. And
you won’t have to worry about replacing current
attachments, either. The quick-coupler lets you hook
up to a variety of John Deere E- and G-Series as
well as non-Deere loader attachments. For versatility
without parallel, opt for a John Deere tool carrier.

Advanced monitor provides:
Vital and general operating information includ-

Industry-exclusive onboard diagnostics of most
sensors and switches for quick troubleshooting.
Available machine security system prevents unauthor-
ized machine movement. Requires pass code.
Ride-control option smoothes moves over rough
terrain, so full loads are more likely to arrive at their
destination — instead of somewhere in-between.
Reduces operator fatigue, too.
Who wouldn’t be more productive in the spacious,
well-equipped cab of a J-Series Backhoe? Its
expansive, curved windshield provides a virtually
unobstructed panoramic view of the work at

You’ve got cruise control in
your pickup — why not in
your backhoes? Industry-
exclusive rotary throttle lets
you dial-in the speed you

automatically drops engine
speed to idle.
