we have a CASE 580D that we have used for many years around the family farm. it works well on pretty much all jobs we torture it with. it is a full size backhoe and has been reliable. the only problem we had was obtaining teeth for the front bucket. no one ever wanted to pay the price for them at the local dealer so for a long time we would build them using a welder. the variety of jobs it performs are:
chainsaw (dig the roots and push tree over), general digging, digging ditches, foundations and footings, loading cut trees (not logs), moving six bottom plows into and out of storage, detaching and reattaching harrows from the disk and we even moved a gravity wagon with it while the wagon was full of corn and had a busted up front axle and wheel. overall it has been a very good machine. i highly recommend full size over compact.
