The 710J still provides a dig depth reaching up to 22 feet, 4 inches when extended, and now a PowerTech E 6068 Tier 3 engine will come standard on 710J backhoes beginning in January. The PowerTech engine will provide an increase in horsepower and the same six-cylinder torque as on the previous Tier 2 710Js.
The new 710Js feature net horsepower of 126 hp, compared to the 123 hp on the Tier 2 engines, along with a host of other improvements. For example, the high pressure common rail fuel system provides higher injection pressures, variable timing, and precise control of fuel injection, giving it highly efficient combustion.

Deere has also ensured that daily servicing duties are easy to accomplish. Servicing is all done on the same side and accessed from the ground. There is no need to raise the boom and no tools are necessary to open and tilt the hood, which can be tilted to 90 degrees if needed.

In addition, exterior upgrades to the 710J include a new extended grill frame that comes standard and a side louver that improves airflow to the engine.
