I gather the 580B is getting a little old now.
I just found a 580c at a lowish price, but I'm not sure if I should keep saving for a 580S or later.
Where the 580c's a bad bunch? or near indestructable?
How is the digging ability compared to later models?
How would it compare to a small (eg 4T-6T) tracked excavator? I have a driveway to put in (which will need a fair amount of digging to get down to the road level.), amongst other things like storm drains, and a backhoe seems to be the best compromise between an excavator on track, and a small dozer / or cat tracked bucket. I don't mind spending time doing the job slowly, but I don't want to be drilling 6" holes in concrete with a hand drill either, if you follow my meaning.
Thoughts apreciated.
