i considering buying a used 310b loader/backhoe for $4500 with two backhoe buckets.
need to check it better before i buy. any special areas of concern for these tractors?
it looks in good shape all around considering it's age and spent a lot of time outside in texas it's really straight, just sun beat. i think the hour meter is correct at 1500 because all the normal wear points look in good shape, about how my case looked at 1500 hours
i need it for personal use of landscaping and never ending cleaning out of creek areas (consistency is like road base)
hoping this would last better than the little case backhoe and koyker loader i used before that kept cracking up as the stuff is heavy and the bottom of the creek is solid rock.
the owner never used it and i never ran one of these; i listened to what he understood about the gears and now i understand why he thinks there is a clutch issue. what he thought was first is really park and what he thought is second is really fifth.
so i know it goes faster in 5th than i ever need and takes a long time to get there if you start there.
his land is as flat as a board and my land is hilly and i drive in and out of the creek with full bucket of wet creek stuff
the brakes feel really good to me which i understand are related to the transmission.
the bucket goes up a little slow until i hit the throttle pretty hard, but the bucket will pick the front end off the ground on down-cycle.
there is a small oil drip near the front of engine
