Hi I'm with the others go buy a proper backhoe loader, find somebody that just moved from the city to an acreage to buy yours. They will think thats fantastic on a tractor and having to keep jumping off that seat and climbing on the tractor and back to the hoe every time you want to move a distance. without pushing the outfit along with the hoe.
If you go for a case 580 start at the C the B is getting hard/expensive to find transmission parts for and awkward to fix if you find parts depending what went wrong with it. from my research when I was looking the C seems to be the first component based drive line rather than all bolted together like a regular tractor drive line so are much better.
I got an 80's JCB 3D3 Backhoe loader here in the end I'd owned them before and knew exactly what it is. it's got the power train shuttle shift component drive line( easy to fix), extenda hoe, And the European side shift hoe I wanted. I've got about $7000 or so in it but it's a tank with what it will do with the hoe and heavy duty loader with 8 ft bucket.
If I'm stuck I can drive the machine from the seat and operate the loader and backhoe just by swiveling the seat half way or reaching over the seat back. None of the controls are 5 ft in the air and you can't do anything with the tractor loader part at the same time. if you want to move more than push along, swivel the seat lift the legs, and front bucket. put here in drive move and set up again. I didn't climb up or down anything and certainly didn't miss my footing and fall off anything. You couldn't give me one of those tractor hoes after having the proper machine.
Yeah its gonna cost a few $ more than you get for the tractor hoe but With the right backhoe loader, you'll buy us all that said the same a barley pop as a thank you L.O.L Regards Robert

Today's Featured Article - Sunday Drives - by Cowboy. Summer was finally upon us here in Northern Maine. We have two types of industry up here, one being "Forestry" (Wood Products) and the other "Farming" (Potatoes). There is no shortage of farm tractors and equipment around here! I have been restoring old Farm Tractors for the past 6 years, and have found it easier and less expensive to hit all the auctions and purchase whole tractors for parts needed. My wife who works at a local school, and only has weekends and summers off, while on t
