John Deere has introduced a series of updates to its backhoe loaders, focusing on visibility, comfort and control to meet the demands of underground and site development work.
A key addition is an industry-first rear camera system, displayed on an 8-inch touchscreen, designed to improve jobsite awareness by minimizing blind spots and rear obstructions. The camera works alongside upgraded LED work lights and turn signals to support work in low-light conditions.
The redesigned cab now offers five inches of additional legroom at the seat swivel point, providing easier movement between loader and backhoe positions. A new overhead rear window system and consolidated side posts expand the operator’s field of view, particularly useful during trenching and truck loading.
Additional comfort features include an optional heated and vented seat and a climate system that delivers 10% more airflow. A redesigned loader grip, enhanced storage and a pull-down sunshade (optional on P-Tier) further support long shifts.
Other updates across models include:
- Optional manual stabilizer locks and a stabilizer position warning system
- Redesigned pilot towers and more space for seat transitions
- Common sealed switch module for keyless start and centralized controls
- Updated external toolbox with anti-corrosion hardware and gas strut support
Select P-Tier models (320, 410, and 710) also offer optional Heavy Lift and Pressure Compensated Load Sensing (PCLS) hydraulics for enhanced performance in demanding applications.
