Serious?
You gonna have that thing shipped? What ya gonna hang it on?
Will that thing run on green energy? ;D
I have run dozens of backhoes, including a few of those old Cases. Looks like a 3-stick w/foot-controlled swing...the 2 short outer sticks are for the outriggers, but you probably already knew all that. Not my preference but they will dig ok if you can put the juice to them and learn which lever to pull (pedal to press)...and when. ;)
Good luck! 8)

Good purchase Neal. At present, a Case 530 backhoe in that condition sells $1400 t o$1600-ish here in central Indiana. I think you got a pretty decent deal IMO. Check your hydraulic cylinders when you get it (but you probably already know that). :thumbup:

My sister just moved out to San Francisco so there may be a family visit trip that is tax deductible in my future! haha.
As far as what it will hang on I would like to get a skid steer, this one looks like a fun project: http://www.auctiontime.com/OnlineAuctions/Details.aspx?OHID=9977905&lp=mat (http://www.auctiontime.com/OnlineAuctions/Details.aspx?OHID=9977905&lp=mat)
or on the back of a tractor.
I am quite sure it will be anti-green haha.

Cylinders and hoses are supposed to be in good condition according to the seller. We will see. Most other backhoe attachments are 3x - 4x that price. They are spendy.

Somebody here may know for sure but I am guessing that hoe would be too big for most/all skidsteers. Some of them have enough ponies and hydraulics to operate it but I think when you picked up your outriggers it would raise the back end of the machine off the ground. Maybe it could be counterweighted?
The Case tractors they put that model on were probably only 40 or 50 hp, but they were heavier built than a farm tractor....and you will probably have to devise a way to mount it on a standard 3-point setup.
But yeh, for the price, if you can get it rigged onto a suitable machine, that's a helluva deal if it's in decent condition.
Diiiiig it!
-
I have the whole tlb with that hoe , a 580 CK it's a heavy hoe ,sturdy and strong but heavy . I agree prolly too heavy for a skidsteer and you gonna need a wack of weight on the front of a farm tractor

"Good condition" term on EBay means "it works at present." If you have to replace the cylinders or have the pistons rechromed in order for them to hold lift pressure without leaking or failing, it is B.M.W. (Bring More Wallet) time!
The hoe is too big for any but the largest skid steers btw. Hoes on skid steers are not fun (nor easy) to operate. Save yourself the trouble and find a suitable tractor. Case could tell you the HP requirement (and suggested tractor weight) for that particular hoe.
Best of luck with your new toy Neal. :thumbup:
-
If the case hoe is built anything like our John Deere hoe, it's gonna take one hell of a skid steer to handle it.

I think this one is a 530, not a 580. Not sure if that makes a difference.
I'm hoping to get a Case 85xt or 95xt (#3150 capacity). Hopefully either of those should have the weight capacity for it.

Everybody is different, that's what makes us all so interesting, without interesting people life would not be the same, we can all disagree from time to time and still like to have conversations, We for the most part all enjoy busting your chops, thanks for being here and please do be careful, that old hoe is heavy and very powerful, I had an old John Deere 410 (Don't tell Roger) once and it had power enough to break itself if you weren't careful with it

I pretty sure 530 was the farm tractor 580 was industrial

Makes me wonder how many more people they had on the back of the skid steer to move it. I've seen pictures on Facebook of the neighbor with both his help on the back of the skid steer so he could handle a 2000lb pallet of seed.

That's a small skid steer. The 95xt can go up to 3600 with counterweights.

But...is that 3600 lbs right at the quick tach bracket or 3600 lbs X number of feet away from the quick tach bracket?

Reach out 10 feet with that hoe and swing it, I think you might be surprised, Note to self, don't do it on a hillside and you might want a seatbelt though I don't like them in my truck!

Not to derail the thread or anything, but on our last trip to England last year, a silly chicky pulled out in front of us. The wife's cousin had just picked us up from the airport after we came back from 3 days and 2 nights in Scotland. We all had our seat belts on, the front air bags went off, the wife was in back with no airbag but a seat belt, we all walked away from it, completely totaled her cousins Audi A4. The people in the other vehicle had no seat belts on, the two in back were both in the hospital for almost a week, the chick driving didn't have a seatbelt on either, got thrown from their car and slid down the road a bit on her face, she was in the hospital a wee bit longer. I'm a firm believer in seat belts since, I hate em still, but I wear em.

You are over thinking the problem. The skid steer only need cover the weight of the hoe at the bucket attachment.

It would be no different than doing it on a utility tractor chassis.
Not wearing your seatbelts is foolish.
Neal

I spent nearly 20 years as a volunteer EMT in our local EMS. We handle many vehicle crashes and the amount of work one has to do to help someone who wears a seatbelt vs the one who doesn't is staggering. The injury we saw most often without the seatbelt is rib and/or sternum fractures. Upper abdominal injury is a real concern too. Having said that; if a person elects not to wear a seatbelt, that should be his/her decision. The government should stay out of it. Same with helmet use. I ride motorcycles and I wouldn't dream of riding without my helmet on my head (my co-worker calls it a brain bucket). However, it should be a personal decision if the person wants their brains to become one with the pavement. Okay, my rant is over. I feel better now. Have a great day! Roger

Roger, You said it right " government should stay out of it". But they are not going to.

Huh?? WTF, seriously. How far is it from you? I had a round baler hauled from the upper part of wisconsin to Northern Indiana and the one I traded in hauled back for under $600. Course this was about 3 years ago, but still.

Yah, but I had a five thousand pound baler shipped to me, then shipped another back....

Shipping, is normally handled by a broker that will get what the market will bear, sometimes if there is no truck in the area they will need to attract a truck to the area, it also depends on if the shipper will eat part of the cost as most manufacturers do as well as how much space it takes up and how far the truck will need to travel to pick up the next load.

and how's the poor trucker gonna unload it once he gets it to Neals ??

Where theres a will....
A regular flatbed delivered my baler, we took the skid steer and cut a loading dock into a hillside, place a few sheets of 3/4" plywood against the cut face then had the trucker back the trailer in tight against the plywood to keep the dirt from collapsing, used some grating off the grain pit for a dock plate then pulled the baler off the trailer with the tracked skid steer. To unload my discbine we used every piece of blockage on the farm to build ramps for the double drop deck it was loaded sideways on.

You can send the road grader to me, I'll handle shipping. It'd be the cats ass for backfilling trench when we tile.
What model round baler? I had one of NH's first chain and slat balers. A 846, didn't make a very heavy bale and was a odd size but was very simple to run. Would roll anything up in front of it. Wet hay, dry hay, cornstalk, fenceposts, limbs, mother in laws, etc.

It's an 849. That one is no longer in service though.
How many mother in laws did you go though exactly..... haha

Were you going to get that thing shipped, or take a road trip to procure it?
I just missed an old JD 300B that sold locally, needed the injector pump rebuilt but was a solid machine, would have been a great farm toy...$900. :(
It was close enough I could have drove it home.

Road trip. My parents might actually do it. My sister just moved out to the Bay area and it is only a hour or so from there. :thumbup:
