#1
The John Deere 710G backhoe loader, introduced in the early 2000s, is a versatile machine designed for a range of construction and agricultural tasks. Known for its durability and performance, the 710G has become a staple in many fleets. With a gross weight of approximately 26,500 lbs (12,020 kg), it offers a balance between power and maneuverability.
Engine and Transmission
At the heart of the 710G is the John Deere 6068T engine, a 6.8-liter, turbocharged diesel powerplant. This engine delivers a net peak power of 122 hp (90.9 kW) at 2,200 rpm, providing ample power for demanding tasks. The engine's design emphasizes fuel efficiency and longevity, key considerations for operators working in remote areas or on extended projects.
Complementing the engine is a PowerShift transmission system with four forward and three reverse gears. This transmission allows for smooth shifting and optimal power delivery, enhancing the machine's overall performance.
Hydraulic System
The 710G is equipped with a pressure-compensated load-sensing (PCLS) hydraulic system. This system has a total flow capacity of 52 gallons per minute (196.8 L/min) and operates at a pressure of 3,625 psi (249.9 bar). Such specifications ensure that the backhoe loader can handle heavy lifting and digging operations with ease.
Dimensions and Capacities
  • Transport Length: 26.75 ft (8.15 m)
  • Transport Width: 7.91 ft (2.41 m)
  • Transport Height: 13.85 ft (4.22 m)
  • Wheelbase: 8.24 ft (2.51 m)
  • Ground Clearance: 1.17 ft (0.36 m)
  • Height to Top of Suspended Cab: 9.75 ft (2.97 m)
These dimensions make the 710G suitable for both urban and rural construction sites, offering stability and ease of transport.
Loader and Backhoe Specifications
The loader bucket has a capacity of 1.87 cubic yards (1.43 m³) and a breakout force of 14,800 lbs (6,700 kg). The backhoe, with its extendable dipperstick, provides a maximum digging depth of 22.5 ft (6.86 m) and a reach of 26.67 ft (8.13 m). These capabilities make the 710G effective for tasks ranging from trenching to material handling.
Operator Comfort and Safety
The 710G offers both open and enclosed operator stations. The enclosed cab versions come with air conditioning and heating, ensuring operator comfort in various weather conditions. The machine's design emphasizes visibility and ergonomics, reducing operator fatigue during long shifts.
Maintenance and Service
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity of the 710G. The machine's design allows for easy access to key components, simplifying routine checks and servicing. Operators should refer to the TM2060 and TM2061 manuals for detailed maintenance schedules and procedures.
Conclusion
The John Deere 710G backhoe loader stands out as a reliable and versatile machine in the construction and agricultural sectors. Its combination of power, efficiency, and operator comfort makes it a preferred choice for many professionals. Regular maintenance and adherence to service guidelines will ensure that the 710G continues to perform optimally for years to come.
