I am starting a search for my next tractor & it will be a backhoe but I am confused on the differences between the letters 580B - 580E - 580SE etc. is there any ones that had problems to stay away from ? are there any sites that will explane the changes thru the years ??
Thanks a bunch
JJ

The later the letter in the alphabet the newer the model. Goes like this 530 (mid 60's), 580 (late 60's), 580ck (around 1970), 580b (mid 70's), 580c (late 70's), 580d (early 80's---the D models where available with more hp, thus the super D, 580e and super e (mid 80's), and so forth. The 580C was the first one of these that the trannsmission could be removed without breaking the tractor in two (although the 580b is a sweet lightweight tractor with lots of visability. The 580E was the first Case backhoe that you could get a Cummins diesel in. Prices tend to run from 5k to 15K for the previously mentioned models. Based on what you want to spend and what you are going to do with the tractor I would suggest a 580C (around 10K) a cab is nice but not necessary. If ranch work is all you plan to do with it, I would shy away from an extendahoe because the extra weight makes these tractors very easy to get stuck. Without the extendahoe the 580C still had the ability to "float" on muddy terrain. I currently own a 580D and like it, but see no real difference in it and my old 580C except that the D has a cab that I tend to like. I recently operated a 580K(1992 and 20K)The machine was sweet but I do not need any more 20K toys around the place.
