Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the John Deere 310L weigh?
The John Deere 310L has an operating weight of 15,040 lb and a 97 hp engine. Cab, counterweight, tracks, and attachments can move the real weight of a given unit up or down from this spec figure, so check the serial plate or the OEM spec sheet for the exact build before booking transport.
What size grapple bucket fits the John Deere 310L Backhoe Loader?
The John Deere 310L Backhoe Loader runs a 1.25 cu yd loader bucket, so a root or rock grapple in roughly the same 0.5–0.7 cu yd class is the right match — typically a 60-to-66-inch grapple. With 97 HP and a 15,040 lb operating weight, the machine has the hydraulic flow and front-axle weight to run a single- or dual-cylinder grapple without front-heavy handling. Always confirm the quick-attach plate style and auxiliary hydraulic coupler match your unit before buying an attachment, since loader mount standards vary by model year.
