In the basic configuration, the machine has wheels of different sizes, however, larger wheels of equal diameter can be optionally installed. Additional options include the modern RIDE Control system, dual hydraulics and air conditioning.
Device Features
- Among the key features of the Case 580T backhoe loader, we should note the so-called “backhoe”, identical wheels on the front and rear axles, a powerful power plant and a modern fuel injection system. Of course, the basic package includes all-wheel drive and the ability to lock the rear axle to improve cross-country ability.
- The locking differential can be activated by pressing a button on the control panel located in the operator's cab. To reduce downtime and reduce costs during unscheduled maintenance, the developers have introduced innovative technology. We are talking about the possibility of installing the brake part and rear axle gearboxes in the hub - such a design solution eliminates the need to remove the entire rear axle in the event of a breakdown. In addition, some modifications have an additional option, namely differentials on the loader axles. Thanks to increased friction in the differentials, it was possible to improve the geometric maneuverability of the Case 580 mini-loader.
- A fairly large working boom and low cabin height are one of the technical and design tricks of the developers. The reduction in cabin height is made possible by the use of overlapping cylinders in the working parts. In addition, the boom itself is constructed with tapered components and parts to ensure forward visibility is not compromised during demanding tasks. At the same time, this boom arrangement ensures safety and increases productivity. Of course, one cannot fail to note the increased load capacity and a good margin of safety. For convenience, the boom is made in a curved shape, which makes it easier to dig trenches, ditches and other operations with soil.
- The shock mitigation function, designed to increase the accuracy of the attachment's aiming, is activated when the end points of the turn are reached. This function is activated by a button on the joystick. In addition, we note the high quality and reliability of the supporting components, and as a result - excellent directional stability when driving on uneven surfaces and at maximum speed. As befits a brand with a prestigious reputation, the Case 580T model has many different accessories and add-ons. For example, you can choose one of several handles for a particular type of task.
- Among the undeniable advantages, we note adaptation to harsh climatic conditions, the presence of all-wheel drive, and the increased width of the wheels located at the front. All this is designed to increase cross-country ability, which is confirmed by factory tests and many years of practice. Despite its considerable dimensions, the car is very maneuverable in turns, largely due to the large steering angle of the front wheels. This feature had a beneficial effect on reducing the turning radius, which is very important when working in hard-to-reach areas - for example, in enclosed spaces, and with a large number of obstacles.
- Depending on the configuration, the machine is equipped with a different set of wheels that are suitable for work in agriculture or industry, as well as in difficult off-road conditions. So, in the latter case, you can, without fear, move along ruts, loose and muddy soils, 30- and 40-percent climbs, etc.
- The power plant is diesel, four-cylinder, with a displacement of 4.5 liters. The unit from CNH produces 73 kW, which is equivalent to 97 horsepower. The engine is equipped with a turbine and a direct fuel injection system, and the crankshaft speed reaches 1400-1500 rpm.
- The basic equipment includes cushions that are equipped with stabilizers. They are needed to soften impacts, as well as increase sound and noise insulation. It is noteworthy that when driving on asphalt or other hard surfaces, the wheeled chassis does not damage the surface. To increase strength and improve resistance to damage, the telescopic handle is equipped with special pads that avoid abrasion of working units and organs, and thereby reduce maintenance costs.
- The operator's cabin of the Case 580T backhoe loader is an example of high functionality and thoughtful ergonomic solutions. In the cab, on the right side of the seat, there is a joystick for controlling attachments. With its help, you can adjust the position of the boom and control the degree of its loading, as well as open and close the bucket, and thus turn the machine into a universal tool - be it a bulldozer, excavator, loader or grab (depending on the installed attachment options). Among other features of the cabin space, we note a chair with an adjustment function based on the operator’s build and height. This feature improves comfort and coziness in the cabin, as does the sound insulation of the cabin, as well as full climate control with automatic temperature adjustment.
- The hydraulic system includes a gear pump that ensures smooth operation under extreme loads and allows you to easily cope with any task. We will also add here a double-type axial piston pump. The gearbox is a semi-automatic type, allowing you to accelerate to 40 km/h when moving forward, and up to 47 km/h when moving backwards.
- Standard options: air conditioning, pneumatic seat, joysticks and levers, telescopic boom, mechanical quick coupler, tool kit, flashing light, Powershuttle transmission, Rude Control, oversized wheels, internal combustion engine cold start system, redundant hydraulic wiring.
