A little introduction to you guys as I'm sure I'll be hanging around here often. A good friend and I own two pieces of land adjacent to each other in Western Maine and just bought a Case 580 C together. It's a pretty clean machine for it's age. Lots of spare parts included too. It's got the Shuttle shift, 4 in 1 bucket and a hydraulic thumb. Our plans for it include 2 septic systems, landscaping around our camps. Stump and rock pulling, snow removal and road maintenance. Here's a picture It needs a few minor repairs. It presently has no parking brake and the diff lock seems to be locked up. Maybe half the hoses are replaced too. I looked through the Case parts schematic but can't seem to find the hydraulic thumb. I'm wondering if that is an aftermarket item.
BTW we paid $8000 for it including about $2000 in spare parts. It's got about 4700 hours on it.
welcome to hef nice looking hoe trevor b
Nice Case I just bought mine off the town of bridgton maine for 2100 bucks. If I had known I was the only guy bidding on it I would of got it for 1500.00. It runs perfect, my swing and out riggers need to be resealed they leak and I need new pins and bushings on the outriggers. But my front bucket needs some work.....What kind of parts do you have? I wish mine had a 4 and 1 and a hydraulic thumb.
Wow, sweet deal there! I've got steering cylinders, many hoses and fittings, filters, pins, shafts etc.
You got a great deal on that 580c!
If you want free up a couple of bucks I might be interested.
Yes we score big time! Cant wait to start putting the ol' girl to some good use!
Anyone know anything about the hydraulic thumb? The spec sheets don't list it as an option. Could it be aftermarket?
nice 580C!!.....i would go with a grapple than a thump.....IMHO.....
