I have a jd 30 excavator,I think it is around a 1986. I can trade it for a 310a hoe. jd 30 is not prfect nor is the 310 opinions? btw both are working as well as can be expected for almost 30 year old equipment. thell me what you think?
I think a JD 310A in good shape would fetch about $8-$9K here in Ontario. Prices seem to be falling somewhat. If you are not concerned about the price you pay for parts then stick with JD, however I would get a Case. Phil
