Pilot Hydraulics on Larger Models
John Deere upgraded its two larger backhoe-loaders, the 410G and 710G, with low-effort pilot-hydraulic controls. The entire line is powered by Deere's wet-sleeve, Tier- 2-certified engines, although the 710G — the only backhoe-loader available with over 100 horsepower — is due for a repower before year's end to meet Tier-3 limits.
Number of models: 4
Product-line features: John Deere has adopted two different hydraulic-system approaches for its backhoe line, reserving open-center circuits for the 310G and 310SG, but offering the fuel efficiency of closed-center systems with radial piston pumps and low-effort pilot-hydraulic controls on the 410G and 710G.
