This Case 580K is a used loader backhoe — also commonly called a backhoe loader or simply a backhoe — a versatile piece of construction equipment designed to perform both loading and excavation work from a single machine. Case is a well-established manufacturer of construction and agricultural equipment, known for producing durable, widely-supported machinery used across construction, utility, landscaping, and earthmoving industries around the world.
This 1989 machine is configured for two-wheel drive and is fitted with a standard hoe at the rear. Power comes from a four-cylinder Cummins diesel engine rated at 63 horsepower, driving through a four-speed shuttle transmission that allows the operator to change direction without stopping — a practical feature for repetitive dig-and-dump cycles. The cab is equipped with a ROPS rollover protection structure for operator safety.
At the front, an 81-inch bucket is fitted with a bolt-on cutting edge, making replacement straightforward once the edge wears. The rear digging bucket measures 24 inches wide. Backhoe controls are a two-lever configuration, and the machine also features rear hydraulics, adding flexibility for auxiliary attachments. Tyre sizes are 17.5-24 at the rear and 11L-16 at the front.
The seller reports that the machine runs and operates well. One known deficiency is that the swing cylinders leak, which prospective buyers should factor into their evaluation. The machine is located in Michigan, USA, and is listed at $15,500.
