The John Deere 710D backhoe loader has a backhoe bucket within the width range of 18 to 36 inches. It is capable of digging at a maximum depth of 18 feet and 2 inches through the use of its efficient net engine power of 115 horsepower. Since this machine also has a reference loader bucket that is approximately 92 inches wide, it also assumes a capacity of 1.62 cubic yards and a dump height of 9 feet and 6 inches.
Overall, this massive machine has an operating weight of 23,000 pounds. It also has headlights, tail lights, a back-up alarm, an interior rearview mirror, handholds, and a ground level fueling system. In addition to that, its major standard features are as follows:
Bypass Start Protection: this feature prevents bypass starting by totally shielding the starter terminal of the machine.
ROPS protection: this provides security and safety for the operator in cases of flip and roll over primarily through its integral roof overhead protection.
Seat Position Sensor: this alerts the operator whenever the range lever is in reverse or forward. Such comes as an audio visual alert.
Loader Boom service lock: this device ensures protection and security when the backhoe loader is being used while the boom is raised.
Neutral Start: this feature ensures that the engine cannot be started until the reverse control of the machine is in neutral.
Independent parking/ secondary brake: this is an additional feature that maximizes the security measures of the machinery. This brake uses automated electrical controls that engage every time the engine is stopped.
This backhoe loader makes use of a 6059T turbo charged engine that runs of diesel fuel. The John Deere 710D also employs a single stage torque converter that drives its four gears forward and three gears reverse. It also has a hydraulic countershaft power shift transmission that allows it to move forward with a maximum travel speed of 22 miles per hour. Such performance specifications allow this machinery to deliver an optimal digging force of 12,940 lbs.
