Is the backhoe loader a thing of the past?

[Rob65]

Typical consumer...waiting till after the election to decide weather to build it

I remember there is politics involved with the shed build but thought it was more of a local level

That looks a good buy at that money when compared with similar age machines out there,crazy low hours if genuine.Only downside is the horrible straight loader arms , had them on a ford 555c I drove years ago and thhey make loading a lorry very awkward as the bucket is too high when you reach to the middle of the bed, not good with rubble, stone etc.

Flip side is that the straight loader arms have always been so much better when driving into a spoil heap, or when grading. The straight arms stop the loader from trying to ride up if you get my drift.

We had 555c as well, much preferred it for loader work than the 3cx at the time.

It’s a Ford front end which according to my BIL was an option on the Case. Ford back end now standard option?

 

[Simon edwards]

I found the ford had more push than The 3cx that followed it and to be fair you’re right about grading,it was probably smoother ,I drove one in aistralia for a year and all grading was front end work,got you pretty sharp.I would have bought a ford when I came back but very limited finances led me to a mid eighties jcb .

I could be totally wrong, but is the 580 on sticks and the 590 servos?

beat me to it

 

[Simon edwards]

I’m pretty sure either can be specced with servos or sticks,Is it not a more powerful motor in the 590.

 

[hiluxman]

The case 695 is similar to a 4cx.

Some 590 still had sticks, My 2007 590R had servos, There was a link up with case and New Holland (CNH) also linked to Iveco too, hence the cab on the 590 is almost identical to the LB110 New Holland.
