John Deere has expended its L-Series Backhoe portfolio with 710L. The latest model offers a robust 17-foot 3-inch dig depth, the largest in the John Deere portfolio, and it is ideal for loading trucks, placing pipe, digging trenches, breaking up concrete or asphalt and moving materials. Importantly, the 710L backhoe meets  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 (148 hp/110 kW) than the previous K-Series model.

"Customers need an advantage to meet project deadlines and deliver results, and the backhoe is one of the most well-regarded and resourceful pieces of equipment on the job site," said Brian Hennings, Product Marketing Manager, backhoes and tractor loaders, John Deere Construction & Forestry. "The 710L provides a huge leg up with added lift capability and an improved rear control valve for enhanced controllability as well as productivity-boosting features and unmatched reliability and uptime."
