Case TR310B
The Case TR310B is the mid-frame radial-lift workhorse of Case's B-Series compact track loader line, combining a 74 hp no-DEF FPT engine with a 3,100 lb rated capacity and wide 15.75-inch tracks. It's the sweet-spot machine for landscapers and general contractors who want real dirt-moving ability without stepping up to a 10,000 lb frame.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓The 74 hp FPT meets Tier 4 Final with only a maintenance-free DOC - no DEF tank, no DPF regens - which owners cite as the reason they picked it over a Bobcat T64 or Kubota SVL75.
- ✓The 8,680 lb bucket breakout force is nearly identical to the 90 hp TR340B's, so it digs and grades far above what the horsepower number suggests.
- ✓Wide 15.75-inch tracks drop ground pressure to 5.0 psi, and landscapers say it floats over finished lawns and wet ground noticeably better than the narrower TR270B.
- ✓At 8,880 lbs it still tows behind a one-ton truck on a 12k trailer with a bucket - a threshold the 10,000 lb TR340B blows past.
- ✓The 24.2 GPM standard aux flow runs trenchers, augers, and power rakes without the high-flow upcharge that competitors often require at this size.
- ✓Case's wide cab, big door opening, and low entry are class-leading, and operators moving from Bobcat consistently comment on the extra shoulder room.
- ✓Radial geometry keeps the load in close through the dig zone, giving excellent grading feel and prying power at ground level.
- ✓It's typically several thousand dollars cheaper than a comparably equipped Bobcat T64 or Cat 259D3, and owners feel the value math clearly favors Case.
Cons
- ✗Radial lift means less reach at full height than vertical-lift rivals, so centering loads over high dump-truck sides takes more finesse at the 100.6-inch dump height.
- ✗Case's dealer network is thinner than Bobcat's and Deere's in many regions, and owners report waiting on FPT engine and undercarriage parts.
- ✗The 'operator not present' seat and armrest sensor faults are a recurring B-series complaint that can shut down hydraulics mid-job.
- ✗The 68 net hp works hard in heavy mulching or cold planing even with the 32.4 GPM high-flow option - flow-hungry attachment users should look at the TR340B.
- ✗Resale values lag Bobcat, Cat, and Deere equivalents, giving back some of the purchase-price advantage at trade time.
- ✗Owners report electrical gremlins and display glitches on B-series machines that typically require dealer software updates to resolve.
- ✗Ride quality over rough ground is stiff compared to torsion-suspension machines like ASV, and operators note material bounces out of the bucket at speed without ride control.
- ✗High-flow, ride control, and the premium cab package are all extra-cost options that push a well-equipped unit well past the attractive base price.
