The bright segment is what Case TR310B is rated to carry; the grey run past it is the rest of its tipping load. Bar length is tipping load drawn to the same scale on every machine on the site, so a short bar is a smaller machine and not a conservative rating.

Wide 15.75-inch tracks, a 74 hp no-DEF FPT engine and a 3,100 lb rated capacity make the TR310B the mid-frame radial-lift workhorse of Case's B-Series compact track loader line. 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.

What owners report

Summarised from the sources listed below. Nothing here was tested by us.

Sitting in the middle of Case's radial range, this is the model that makes the rest of the line-up look poorly judged on value. It carries the 74 hp engine with its DEF-free emissions package, and yet produces 8,680 lb of bucket breakout - within twenty pounds of the 90 hp TR340B that costs considerably more and brings a DEF tank with it.

The 15.75-inch tracks are the other reason owners settle here rather than on the smaller TR270B; the extra width is felt immediately on wet ground and on lawns that have to look untouched afterwards. At 8,880 lb it remains a machine a three-quarter-ton truck and a 12,000 lb trailer can legally move with a bucket, which is a genuine operational threshold rather than a specification detail. Standard flow of 24.2 gpm covers augers, trenchers and grapples without an upcharge. Where it runs out of road is continuous high-flow work - 32.4 gpm is the smallest high-flow figure in the family - and at the top of the radial arc, where 100.6 inches of dump height makes truck loading a positioning exercise.

Landscapers and grading contractors get mid-frame dirt performance, simple emissions and a machine that still trailers easily. Against a Bobcat T64-2 or a Cat 249D3 it usually costs less and digs harder. The one number to translate before signing is capacity: the 3,100 lb headline is a 50 percent figure, Case's own 35 percent figure is 2,170 lb, and that is what belongs next to a Deere 317 P-Tier or a Kubota SVL65-2. New Holland's C-series covers the same ground, so let dealer proximity break the tie.

What owners like

  • It digs like the 90 hp machine above it: 8,680 lb of bucket breakout against the TR340B's 8,700, from an engine that needs no DEF and costs meaningfully less to buy.
  • The 74 hp FPT is certified with cooled EGR and a diesel oxidation catalyst only - no SCR, no DEF tank, no particulate filter and no regeneration cycle to work around.
  • 15.75-inch tracks are a real step up from the 12.6-inch shoes on the TR270B below it, and landscapers report the difference on wet ground and finished lawns is obvious rather than marginal.
  • At 8,880 lb it still travels behind a properly rated three-quarter-ton truck on a 12,000 lb trailer with a bucket aboard - a threshold the 10,000 lb TR340B comfortably exceeds.
  • Standard auxiliary flow is 24.2 gpm, which runs augers, trenchers, grapples and power rakes without reaching for the high-flow option that rivals often require at this size.
  • Case's cab is one of the widest in the industry with a low entry threshold and a backup camera in the 8-inch display, and larger operators consistently single out the shoulder room.
  • It typically lists below a comparably equipped Bobcat T64-2 or Cat 249D3 while matching or beating both on breakout force.

What owners complain about

  • The 3,100 lb headline is quoted at 50 percent of tipping load where most brands quote 35 percent, which means less held in reserve rather than more. Case publishes the 35 percent figure itself - 2,170 lb - which puts it alongside a John Deere 317 P-Tier at 2,125 lb and a Kubota SVL65-2 at 2,100 lb, machines whose headlines look far smaller than this one's.
  • High flow tops out at 32.4 gpm, the smallest in the B-Series and well short of the 37.6 gpm the TR340B and TV370B offer, so heavy mulching is not really this machine's work even with the option fitted.
  • Radial geometry caps dump height at 100.6 inches, which makes centring a load over the side of a full-height dump truck a matter of careful positioning rather than simply lifting.
  • An enclosed cab is an option across the B-Series rather than standard equipment, so base prices need reading carefully against rivals that include one.
  • Undercarriage is the dominant recurring cost, and Case's own guidance against counter-rotation turns and repeated one-direction slope work is the difference between good and poor track life.
  • Resale trails Bobcat, Cat and Deere, so some of the attractive purchase price is returned at trade-in.

What buyers ask

Is it worth paying up for the 90 hp TR340B?
For most work, no. Bucket breakout is 8,680 lb here against 8,700 lb there, so digging force is effectively identical. The TR340B adds sustained power for demanding attachments and wider 17.7-inch tracks, but it also adds SCR and a DEF tank, about 1,100 lb of weight that pushes you past a 12,000 lb trailer, and a good deal of money.
How does its 3,100 lb capacity really compare?
Translate it first. Case quotes 50 percent of tipping load; most rivals quote the more conservative 35 percent. Case's own 35 percent figure for this machine is 2,170 lb, which sits between a Kubota SVL65-2 at 2,100 lb and a Bobcat T595 at 2,200 lb. It is a fair mid-frame machine, but not the class-beater the headline implies.
Can it run a mulching head?
A light one, occasionally. High flow here is 32.4 gpm, the smallest in the B-Series, where the TR340B and TV370B reach 37.6 gpm and the big TV620B reaches 41.6 gpm. For continuous mulching or cold planing the larger machines are the right tools; this one is better suited to augers, trenchers, grapples and power rakes, all of which run on its 24.2 gpm standard circuit.
Does it use DEF?
No. The 74 hp engine meets Tier 4 Final with cooled exhaust gas recirculation and a diesel oxidation catalyst, with no selective catalytic reduction, no DEF and no particulate filter to regenerate or replace. That is the feature owners most often name as the reason they chose it, and it disappears as soon as you move to the 90 hp machines in the family.
Will it damage finished lawns?
Less than the TR270B, which is the main reason to choose it for landscape work. Its 15.75-inch tracks spread the load appreciably better than that machine's 12.6-inch shoes. It is still a tracked loader, though, and turning habits matter - counter-rotation on turf is what tears it, and Case's own advice is to use wide gradual turns instead.
How long do the tracks last?
Rubber tracks on machines in this class generally run somewhere between roughly 1,200 and 1,600 hours, but ground conditions drive that far more than the hour meter does. Sharp rock and abrasive material shorten life dramatically. Track tension, avoiding counter-rotation and not working across a slope in the same direction all day are the levers an owner actually controls.

Narrow 12.6-inch tracks and a compact footprint make the TR270B a favorite for landscapers and fencing crews working through gates and between houses. It's the small-frame radial-lift entry point to Case's B-Series compact track loader line, pairing a 74 hp FPT engine that needs no DEF with a 2,700 lb rated capacity.

Skipping DEF entirely, the 74 hp FPT engine in the Case TV370B backs a 3,700 lb rated capacity in a large-frame vertical-lift compact track loader. It's the tracked sibling of the SV340B, aimed at contractors who want big-machine lift and truck-loading height without big-machine emissions plumbing.
