Is the backhoe loader a thing of the past?

No idea mate, she was driving! Northern Ireland was a blur to be fair, we only realised when the petrol looked cheaper!

Haha, yea for the first in a long time its cheaper here..
Brave man letting the Mrs drive around donegal

Interesting...so is everything dearer south of the border ?

No, what I was getting at is that the petrol station signs said 140 rather than 180- but we hadn’t clocked that we’d crossed the border so it was pounds not euros!

Seller has come back with a counter offer. Down to £7000 now. He has the doors , just part way through being restored. Cabs had a LOT of work.
What is the consensus on these as farm tools? I am mostly interested in it as a loader, and don’t need forks. Top pin on KingPost has 15-20mm play. Couldn’t get the bottom one to move much. How much of a job are they to repair?

With 20mm of play id think thatd be a fairly major line boring job...
Can you still get parts etc for these?

That’s what I want to know! Manuals and filters and seat cushions and glass available. I’d like to find someones opinion that knows them intimately. Nice and free from excess electronics I believe, and on a shuttle. No servos of course.
Don’t need anything road legal or pretty , just something that can be used for a couple years and sold in without costing the world

I know nothing about them other than reading on one of the fb groups they would apparently outpush a 3cx of similar era

Every machine I’ve seen with rust like that has been near alot of salt……

 

[topkit]

The cabs on those Case 580 can rot quite ,badly and so do the floors, If you go and look at it pull up the rubber matting and see what the floor is like!

Probably 15miles from the Atlantic . Seller has remade most of floor pan and all pillars have been replaced . Done a lot of work to be fair . Floor is sound now but still plenty of rusty bits

Complete coincidence, was browsing marketplace and that Case machine came up. What are they like compared to JCB?

I had a 2007 590 Super R, It was a loveley machine to use with servo controIs, I love the Case front loader and 4in 1 bucket control. The only thing i did not like that much was the powershift transmission It was easy to use and even had a kickdown mode but it was real overkill to use here on the small holding, If you were doing load of roadwork it would be great though, I am a Fermec fan the 860 will go anywhere with the big 20 in front rims. My 2007 terex 860.
