JOHN DEERE - 370B Back

JOHN DEERE - 370B BACKHOE

To ensure optimum performance, the tractor's hydraulic flow and increased system pressure are matched with the backhoe's system enhancing the digging force and overall performance.

Key features include:
Valve spools have machined-metering grooves to allow smooth operation and precise control of several functions
Improved feel and feathering capabilities
Durable sub frame to ensure the tractor frame can handle the forces created from digging and transporting
Buckets are designed for optimum productivity; available bucket widths are 20.3 cm (8 in.), 30.5 cm (12 in.), and 40.6 cm (16 in.)
Mechanical thumb allows movement of large and/or uneven-shaped objects
3-point hitch draft arms remain on the tractor

OPERATOR COMFORT
The operator station on the 370B Backhoe has been designed for improved operator comfort.
A strong 3-point stance can be maintained when mounting and dismounting the backhoe using the backhoe frame-mounted grab handle, the console grab handle, and the large boarding step mounted to the stabilizer arm
Boom and swing locks are accessible from the operators seat and have a built-in storage location when the backhoe is in use
High-back seat provides more operator comfort during longer work hours
Operator platform with non-slip grips are provided

CONVENIENT AND EASY OPERATION
There are several features that make the 370B Backhoe convenient and easy to operate.
Seat pivots up when not in use to prevent damage during transport. This feature also keeps debris from collecting on the seat
Low-profile console allows an unobstructed view of the working area
Two-lever control is used for boom lift, swing, dipper stick, and bucket
Streamlined control valve and console provides better visibility to the digging area
User-friendly, two-lever control is used for boom lift, swing dipper stick, and bucket
Cushioned boom cylinder provides smooth operation and prevents abrupt contact with the backhoe frame when raising the boom

ENCLOSED BOOM AND DIPPER
The boom and dipper are designed with the strength to handle the large loads put on these powerful backhoes.

IMPROVED ATTACHABILITY
The 370B Backhoe offers improved attachability by allowing the rear 3-point hitch draft arms to remain on the tractor. Due to a clear instructional decal and improved tolerance, attaching the 370B Backhoe has never been easier.

BACKHOE INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
The backhoe's mainframe fits into rear mounting brackets installed on the tractor. This provides the following important features:
Vertical or side-to-side movement is virtually eliminated, providing more stability. The design of the mainframe also positions the entire backhoe close to the tractor. Operators are also able to benefit from the total weight transfer between the backhoe stabilizers and loader bucket.
The tractor chassis is protected because the mainframe integrates the tractor and backhoe combination together as one.
Once the mounting frame is installed, attaching and detaching is quick and easy.
